I'm glad you are in for this battle, seems there are some issues with other seeds but hopefully something gets figured out. I know everyone will get seeds late from them sending some out just now, maybe there will be a work-around.
I understand the frustration with starts, all three of my lighting battle plants were males so I ended up germinating new seeds waaaaayyy too late, but I got to play and I got to finish (plants not near ready but still will get battle credit), and it was good training for this leg :smoking:
Hang tight and enjoy this battle, and what happens, happens
(so much of life is beyond our control).
