Adam's first month

I apologize for my prolonged absence. I'm not going to make excuses and say that things got in the way or anything, because that's not the case. The fact of the matter is that the developments just aren't making themselves apparent to me as readily as they once were. In Adam's first month, the changes to his composition and outward appearance have been considerable. But, in the last week or so, seemingly nothing has changed, so I've had nothing to report. That isn't to say that he's the same as he was the last time I updated, there have been some slight changes, and I'll describe them to the best of my ability.

The mixture of semen and blood has changed drastically from its original form. What was once a separated, viscous substance, comprised of fresh-squeezed blood and semen became a grayish, more homogenize mixture. And that mixture turned into a unified, almost colloidal substance, which has become completely opaque.

About a week ago, I noticed that this sort of crust was forming around the perimeter of the container, where Adam touches the edges. In addition to this crystalline crust, there are several small rainbow-colored spots, that look like some sort of oil. I don't know if this is the beginning of the formation of some sort of life form or if it's just some oil from my skin that found its way into the mixture from my blood or semen.
Other than these somewhat minor developments, not much has seemed to change. I can no longer see into the mixture, so whatever is going on beneath the surface is a mystery to me. Considering how much Adam has changed in one month alone, I'm looking forward to seeing what becomes of him in the future. Even if the developments don't match my expectations, I'll be pleasantly surprised by whatever happens.
I'm only going to update as frequently as necessary. If there's nothing to report, I'm not going to waste everyone's time with an update, so just check in sporadically, since my posting will become increasingly erratic as time goes on.

Week 2

I wanted to bring attention to something that I've noticed since the beginning of this experiment. When semen is added to the mixture, it retains its shape, color and structure for only a few minutes. After that, it becomes less opaque and eventually it becomes completely clear. These two pictures were taken only three minutes apart and you can see how, even without being agitated, the semen has started to become clear and is becoming one larger pool, rather than several small pools. If I didn't know better, I would say that this is just what it looks like when semen diffuses into another substance, but this phenomenon also occurred at the very beginning of the experiment, with the first sample of semen, when it had nothing to diffuse into.

I finally decided to test out the microscope and see if I would be able to see anything with it. I crafted a makeshift slide and put a small sample of fresh semen onto it, then observed it at 75x magnification. I certainly was not able to see sperm within the semen and didn't see anything else noteworthy. I also made a separate slide of some of my saliva and wanted to see if I would be able to observe bacteria, but once again, it yielded no positive results.

Besides the rubber band on Adam's container snapping, nothing has changed one way or the other. I've given some thought to the idea of adding caffeine to the mixture, in the hopes that this might speed up the process, but maybe that's far too whimsical of an idea to be worthwhile.

Day 13

Adam is still changing imperceptibly and daily updates would force me to look beyond what is really there and try to concoct some sort of a result. If I'm patient and willing to let Adam develop without my interference, whatever the result ends up being will at least be unadulterated and well-deserved. If I'm going to be patient, that means updates will be much less frequent than they once were, so patience will be required of you as well.

Currently, Adam's most interesting feature is the "structure" that is forming from my blood. It is suspended within the semen and has attached to the globule of mucus. The blood also has either enveloped or dissolved the hair and its root, because I can no longer see it. The blood appears to be clotted and congealed underneath the semen, which has started to change color. I don't know if the semen is beginning to mix with the blood or if it's just getting old and turning yellow. Either way, what was once a heterogeneous mixture of clear/cloudy semen and red blood has become a partially homogenized substance of a translucent, yellowing liquid and a congealed mass suspended in its center.

Other than these small details, there isn't much to report. The volume of the mixture has been the same for a while and it doesn't appear that anything has been lost to evaporation. Within the coming days, if nothing seems to change significantly, I will most likely begin adding a new substance into the mixture. I am favoring ear wax, because it's easy to collect and seems to be the most salubrious substance, having several properties that I think would be beneficial to Adam's development.

I don't exactly know what kind of change I should look for or when I should expect to see it. I simply know that the likelihood of nothing changing significantly within the mixture in the near future is considerable. I'm certainly not going to make any hasty decisions or rash changes, but if I think that something will trigger a change in Adam, which will eventually lead to growth, I'll add it to the current list of procedures/substances.

As always, if there's anything that you would like to suggest I add or change about this experiment, feel free to do so. Additionally, if there's anything that you know about biology/chemistry and think that I too should know it, please share whatever knowledge and insight you've got with me.
