This is the 4.27 Claytons x 2.

I am doing things differently. Again, I am transplanting out super early, most just have two cotyledons & no leaves. This is unconventional but since it worked last year I think its worth a try again.

I have up to a dozen sprouts in some spots, and in each location I will select the best one. Right now these and the 2.38 Elaine's look the best. My 9.5's were already getting stunted because the mini cupcake tray I planted them in didnt have enough space for the roots.

I did not keep precise track of every amendment I added but I tried to do what seemed reasonable. I tried to stay somewhere between mininalist and just coming in short of being a more-on. Sometimes I AM a moron like I tried to add 4-5 ppms of boron but I forgot that borax is only 11.5% boron so I probably added hardly any. But thats ok I added a variety of stuff and there was no doubt some boron in some of the other stuff I added. So, maybe I can accidentally get good results.

If I was responsible for hundreds or thousands of acres of land, then my "small mistakes" wouldnt be so small.
