This is an excellent project no doubt! You're doing a great job too, thank you for sharing with us. Don't even worry about all the pictures, I'm pretty sure we all love them. Besides, aren't pictures what you especially look for during OB visits?

I like that you've used different pots whether intentional or not, makes for a more interesting experiment.
I no doubt believe you that having everything in order prior to flasks arriving is the way to go. I've sent some seeds to lab however so far none have germinated

though I do have two pods maturing...maybe they'll have better results. But I figured at first news of germination - even if it takes a year - I want to start planning. Thanks for sharing your experience to support this.
Keep up the great growing! 95% success is pretty awesome.
