COMMENTS:
Today I’ve made some changes.
- Sessions 3 and 4: hydrated a cotton square, which is more absorbent than tissue. Hopefully that will produce a stronger scent
- HC1= original HC made yesterday on tissue; I will rehydrate w/the stronger water
- HC2= newHC made today with cotton square
- the water has been steeping in the refrigerator overnight. Hopefully that will produce a stronger scent
- begin at the beginning again
- Flipping sessions. I like being able to review the sessions
TESTING:
- scent medium
- tissue vs cotton square
- hydration strength
- time spent w/HP in water
- HC vs SS
- everything else the same
In keeping with our policy of not making assumptions, but only collecting data at this stage, this would be an excellent test for Syn to replicate with the HC samples that I sent you, Sue. Curious to see if the results would be similar or different when using seizure scent.
NOTE: I wonder if the visual tea hydration has any comparison to the invisible SS hydration in strength and absorption. IOW, does SS strengthen or weaken being left in water longer?
