time for my update.

the WTR is coming along nicely:

the A4 s1 isn't doing as well as I'd hoped(her sister is looking better though), guess my experimental soilmix isn't great(I'm already seeing some defficiency here in the lower leaves, the maize is showing it too, really early in the season, and it's the final pot already, other years I still had a step in smaller pot in between), and maybe the competition with me vegetables is showing too. although overall I'm still further along as last year at this time, so guess harvest is going to be fine anyway.

and the WS07xA6, starting to grow above the strawberries a bit now so hoping it'll take off well when the weather gets sunnier again(the eating is probably from pillbugs, never noticed issues with them before, but a while ago I checked my plants at night and noticed quiet a lot of pill bugs are climbing up to the tops of my weedplants at night to munch on leaves).

and here the 2 A4x(WS07xA6), still have to make a choice which one stays at home and will enter the contest.
I have thrips in all my windowsillplants as you can see on the leaves, but not really noticing much issues from it, and they mostly disappear as I plant outside(guess either the environment or predators, I have already spotted the first ladybug on my balcony, on my beans which have some aphids. and plenty of spiders, including some cute small non-webbuilding kind)

and non-contest pics:
this plant is doing really nice, thinking of maybe giving it a pot up after all, since it's growing so well. maybe also switching my plans around a bit and give this one a bigger pot, and keep the a4x(ws07xa6) in a smaller pot instead. but not sure yet if this plant is female, it hasn't preflowered yet.

and I have found this interesting self-topping mutation in a few plants, keeping this one to see how it will affect the bud formation.
based on how many and in which lines I found this mutation, my guess it could be a single gene recessive(like duckfootleaf), so it would be easy to breed.

and one of the same line, but without selftopping

and the revegged balconyplant is growing nice too now, nice bushy structure from the revegging.
