Time for an update, the last week of April had been pretty cold and dark, therefore the seedlings havenīt grown alot, but as soon as spring arrived with some sunny and warm weather they began to grow.
As to tunnels (1) and (2), the 1362 Lieber seems to be a bit more aggressive than the 1004 Wagler, but at the current stage I cannot tell which plant of each seed will be the keeper.
Tunnel (3), the 150 sqft plant, it looks like this plant is a bit behind now (despite its quick start), the hypocotyl isnīt as thick as of the other plants and leaf development is one leaf behind most of the other plants. Iīll try to be patient and see what happens. A backup plant (706 Wagler) is ready and can sit in its pot for maybe another 2 weeks before I need to make a decision. Note: the backup seed was started 10 days later...plant might be too strong for a 150 sqft patch, LOL.
Tunnel (4): Iīm happy with the development of these two plants. Well, the 1659 Miller was a bit behind the 1317 Clementz from the very beginning (the 1st true leaf started 1 or 2 days later) and is at a similar leaf stage as the 769 Lombardi, just with larger leaves and a thicker stem.
