Hmmmm, Confused I am !

Is this the same battle as the other battle that has been opened up to all (was the COB / LED / Light battle)

If not, then I'll sign up to this one as well.... and post my germ pics at the same time....

If it is the same battle..... well I just wasted 15mins of my life uploading these again !



Being very old.... and easily confused.... As a contestant in this (and other) Battle(s). I think I have to update here as well as there

So, @archie gemmill - here is an Update

Change of seed
Soil
Water (with roots excelsior)
In tent, Under Cobs, Temp 24.5c, Rh55%

Had a problem with some seeds germinating, I have replaced them with new seeds....

Week 5 Update

All plants are 27 Days Old

I am not going to be about much over the next few days, so here is my week 5 update (sorry if it is a bit early).

Also, just to be safe, I am going to nominate my 4 "strain" battle plants today and the 1 in the "general battle".



It was a very nice day today, somewhat unusual for the time of year. The sun was shining, warm, very pleasant. Not to be wasted I thought.

A good time to get the girls out of the tent & do some defoliating & maintenance on them.

So I pulled them all out in to the sun, 1 at a time, and grabbed some quick photos.

I then did a little defoil and LST, and rearranged them back in the tent.
