Daily Notes
I've been slacking on the updates:
- Grew two creeping woodsorrel from seed, although the jiffy peat pellets both got pretty mouldy, watering gave a puff of white spores and I think this actually caused contam on a couple of nearby plates of mine! No germination of the hairy bittercress seeds, might have to try a cold shock version? And no more peat pellets in my lab.
- ~everything stalled waiting on antibiotics for next set of experiments, although I might do a few more gene gun shots with the miraculin + eyGFPuv vector.
- Single tomato growing well on my biggest indoor purple tomato plant
- Colorful irridescence in the biofilm in my water fern holding tub
- Nice 3D printed boomerang design found, video + link to source here
- Lots of glowy bits in this algae (??) I shot with the gene gun, which frankly raises more questions than answers (most bits not nearly this glowy, and this is after a ton of growth, original was a few cells glowing days after shot. Might be something unrelated? Growing some out, and want to try with other known algae types and see what happens. It's a plant promoter so if this is cyanobacteria it's extra weird
