Wow, I thought I was the unlucky one with the one day delay. Turns out it's the opposite.

Since everyone else is delayed, I'll tell my frag to stop growing until everyone has a piece.
Nah. Now is when you whisper sweet nothings and have it double before everyone else has a chance.

It's here .... time to perform a miracle. Believe it or not, the water was not frozen after a week in transit. About 50°F. The one heat pack at the bottom of the cooler was still slightly warm.

Well, at least the bags aren't brown
That was a legitimate concern, that it would just be straight death smell. Warming them up slowly now, and I will get them in the tank. At this point, this is just a test to see if there is anything salvageable at all?

only 7 days late! Ugh man

What a mess of awindow this has been though

there is something to be said about cold weather and cold water and resilience, but seven days in the same bag as asking a lot

I would’ve been curious to know what the pH of that water was and I’m nothing short of flabbergasted that there was any warmth on the heat pack at the very least we’re kind of collecting some data points here
