Day "14" (I honestly do not recall when I planted this but around 2 weeks ago, but not quite because the reminder has not gone off).
So, I planted my last 4 pods of AG Bok Choy that I had been loving for most of 2020 . I also threw in 2 pods of mustard greens. These are faithful and figured a sure bet...
All germinated and all (were) doing well, but very, very, very slowly growing and the last few days noticed discoloration. So, I "resent" the cycle, did an R&R and fed. Now, it is very possible, I did not ever feed them in the first place; using the method many folks have recommended for Harvests of not adding nutes until the seeds germinate. I do not think this is the case, as the water had the slightly greenish water from nutes.
Anyhow...we will see if a rinse, nutes, and the warmth of the mylar tenting will help it live its best life.

[The Bok Choy are the 4 "corner/outside" pods; the mustard are the two "inner/center" pods].
Will update as things happen (or fail to happen).
Note: I did not no (or very little) algae...so the basement is perhaps a better place for this "cursed" Harvest than the kitchen). Double note: while these are growing and no algae, they are still "off" the usual furthering my theory that there is something not quite right about this machine...as I have lamented many times.
