shazzydome temps at 76 degrees this morning inside at 8 am and the sprouts are actually gonna see some sunshine today. in the center is the most aggessive sprout of all 56, and that baby is mine. it's a 7.33 hunt. they are marked with yellow toothpicks with 2 black marker lines on it. the one right behind it is a 7.33 going to georgie boy, and to the left is a smaller 7.33 going to my buddy from work mark mills who grew over 3 lbs last year. the others in the left tray with plain yellow toothpicks are 5.35 lyons, and to the right with green toothpicks are the 5.18 lyons. all other sprouts including the 4.04 johnson/butlers, the 4.25 lyons, and 3.08 shenoha's are all the same size as these other sprouts. the sunshine today should perk them up nice and today they will get their first watering with warm water since transplant day which was last sunday. nice to see the corn seed maggot flies hatching in the greenhouses and flying about. once i see them little grayish flies that look similar to house flies but skinnier and smaller, then i know the soil has been warmed up to the point i need it to be and those critters are hatched and more worried about reproducing than they are about eating.
