Unfortunately, as I am making this at home I don't have adequate incubation facilities to keep the bricks at 27 degrees, this means that they are progressing much more slowly than the five day target. I hope that following the development of these bricks I might be able to find conditions more suited to their growth in order to further experiment with this material in the coming semester.
