RC3: Day 2
I forgot all about taking pictures for Day 2. So I took them this morning and we should really call them Day 2.5. I’ll post Day 3 later today to keep us on track.

RC3: Day1
Here is the results after 24 hours. I haven’t looked in detail yet, but it’s interesting to note that there are 2 seeds in the 66% d2o in di water sample that appear to have sprouted already.
Also for those counting along with me, the final counts won’t be out of 30. When I seal the chamber I end up crushing 1-3 seeds in the process and a couple more end up in the outer fringes where it is tough to discern sprouting or not. So I will count up the seeds in the interior circle (the fragmented one) and count the seeds that sprout from that total.

And away we go with trial 3! I expect this version to go much better now that the lab temperature is regulated. Setup coming tomorrow when I have internet again.

RC2: Day 8
Since the lab is a blistering 95F, I’m officially ending this experiment. I will still take pictures for about 7 more days because I want to watch the evaporation rate, but none of this data will be counted towards anything. Most tellingly is that the seeds in DI water barely sprouted and there hasn’t been much change in the past couple of days. Compare that to the DDW seeds and that spells problem…
