Our story continues with day 2, and our cuttings are looking good. Over night the cuttings have recovered from the shock and stress of shipping and planting; and are perked up and looking good.
Evidently one of my people sticking the cuttings consistently planted two planting per cell the whole day. The day after planting we have a person go back over all the cuttings to make sure that they were planted correctly and have not fallen over. So while she checked the cuttings she ended up separating out the double plants and sticking them. I plan on watching the line closely tomorrow when our next batch of cuttings arrive.
You can tell by the look on her face that she is very committed to her work. I think she is also ready to kill who ever did the double planting.
Over the weekend we closely monitored the cuttings and gradually increased the time between mistings. Saturday night we were at 36 minutes.
