This is current, not past.

Please note that the seeds have not arrived yet, and when they do they will be in stages. this entire experiment is current, not a past narrative. On may 13th or 14th, the first batch of seeds will arrive, 12 at once. I will treat these with gibberellic acid and plant them, though only four will be mine. The other eight will be split evenly between the friends I am doing this with. (I am doing the work of planting them and researching) These twelve are the first stage of the seeds, while in a month or so a seller will have them available wholesale for a much cheaper price. At this time I will probably buy 100 of them, and possible a few seedlings. I will have 34 at that time, so in the end 38. Mathimatically, if the gibberellic acid bring up the germination rate to 90 percent, I should have 34 seedlings. I predict that because of unforeseen errors, I will lose all but 4,5, or at the very best six plants to survive to maturity. even with this pessimistic view, I think that doing so would be a great accomplishment for me. the entire cost of the experiment, for my share, is about 30-50 USD.

When I do not have anything interesting for the day directly involving the growing I will generally post something interesting I have learned, or side effects of the experiment. maybe the history of my learning of it.

One more day, maybe two.

Then it finally starts.
