I was finally able to start my own experiment! Everything I have been doing up until now has been preparing me to be on my own. My experiment deals with sunflower seeds and hemp with micronutrients/without micronutrients. (Time will also tell if I am able to use the entire sunflower seed shells and ground up shells).  I began to incorporate my hemp substrate and the micronutrient mixture that Amanda had previously mixed for me. While I was working under the hood Amanda was off to the side working on something else. She totally left the project entirely up to me! Although I had minor issues that I had to ask her about I felt really confident in what she had taught me so far and was able to complete the mixing. I can’t wait to keep mixing next week.

Also, Ecovative just expanded to the building behind them, which is absolutely gorgeous and new! I might even be researching and testing there in a week or two. So excited!
