Nearly all the HSC colonies had collapsed.

Sounds like our shakedowns with first year on small stuff
(4.9mm) and getting rid of the 90% that didn't fit the
mold, and from there on positive growth back. But then 90%
was predicted by USDA researchers we were associating with,
for predicted crashing for not being able to make it back
to a natural system.

So you think you seeing same scenario sorta? Just what
actually are the numbers that made it vs those that did
not, being curious?
