Default Re: Musa Velutina Experiment

No changes were observed in either batch of seed.

The banana pulp is extremely fermented and has proven to be unsuited as a nonsterile medium under these specific circumstances. It will be replaced by a mixture of 'used ' potting soil, non sterile sand and perlite. This is all that I have available as the majority of the ground is snow covered or frozen mud.

The sterile medium is beginning to show signs of mold/fungus. It will be rebathed in 130-140 F water and rinsed.

I will remove one seed from each batch of seed for inspection/disection.

The results will be posted later this week.
