Thirteenth Week: Final Observation

Dear readers,

This is my last observation for this year.
I took data on the heights (in nearest cm) of plant stems, whether there were flower buds, and the milkiness of the leaves (1=none, 2=little, 3=moderate, 4=excessive) by cutting the leaves. Bitter the leaves, having more milkiness on the leaves.

Twelfth Week: Observation

Dear readers,

Today, I continued to take data on whether each plant is bolting and if it is, whether it has flower buds or not.


Except for few, almost all of the plants were bolting. And the two from Freedom's Mix had already flower buds. (Which is not a good thing since we want to breed plants that will bolt as late as possible.)

Eleventh Week: Observation

Dear readers,

We stopped harvesting since last week because some of the plants already existed their vegetative stage. (One even had flower buds already.)

Instead, today I took data on whether plants were bolting or not and the severity of mildew damage (1-slight damage, 2-moderate damage, 3-severe damage) on each plant.


I note a plant as bolting, if I could see the stem between its leaves.
All of the plants were suffering from slight to severe mildew damage. (If this happens, you should try to clean up the bottom leaves so that you can avoid further infection.)
