Problems encountered
- initial Corno di Toro seedling loss
- edema on the Real Deal pepper

I am sad to report that my wonderful plant has passed on. We left the windows open in the room next to the Farm and it got wy too cold in there. SO the plants this morning are all wilted. The lights are on and I covered the farm in hopes the warmth of the lamps will revive but I highly doubt it. If they do not get better tomorrow the machine will get cleaned and I will start with all new seeds
Oh, that's a shame, Shawn.
THats ok I am starting new ones

Shawn,That's the plant with edema, isn't it?
Yes, sadly. I have not looked at it this morning but I might just start fresh with a new one to see what happens. I will do an R&R as well today.
The Corno di Toro is coming along nicely. I will be planting another pepper here later today. Added nutes and mooch
