26 april 18. We planted all but a handful of the pots that will go in the field plot; FRM 8-29 were planted 27 april 18. Same method as a few weeks ago, but using the smaller compostable pots (36 pots fit in a tray, by the way -- more than expected). I noticed germination starting 28 april 18.
See spreadsheet "Alfalfa-fieldexp-april2018.xlsx" for the names of the plants planted.
1100 pots total
5 reps per mom
31 flats (not all are full of 36 pots)
Number of moms per pop:
AFAL: 20
ALP: 21
APLL: 16
AWFS: 21
BST: 18
CKV: 21
FRM: 20
HBR: 21

If we did without these pots, we'd have 1082 pots for the field. Otherwise 1100.
