John made the second assessment today: number of cells per tray with no germination or very small/abnormal seedlings.
The average number per tray varied with crop, but this may not be significant:
| Lettuce | 3.9 |
| Chinese cabbage | 8.9 |
| Cabbage | 9.2 |
The differences between the growing media were small, apart from No.3 which was much worse for lettuce and cabbage. No single medium is a clear winner over all three test crops, so far.
| best | worst | |
| Lettuce |
4 1,2,6 very close second

3 – |
| Chinese cabbage |
8 – |
1 3 very close second |
| Cabbage | 8 | 3 |
