Left 6 seeds in glass for 14-18hrs as per crop king germination instructions.
Transferred to paper towel. Roughly 24hrs passed, Sunday April 11th tap root is emerging from 1 seed.
Monday morning April 12th tap root emerges from 3 other seeds.
Will prepare grow medium
Woke up today to find 3 of the 6 seeds taproots have reached the specified 1/2-3/4 inch length.
2 others are still in paper towel germination, en route to dropping in soil, and 1 has yet to crack.
I dropped the 3 into my medium
90% Pro-Mix Mycorrhizae HP
Roughly 10% black earth
Friday April 16th 2021
5 seedlings ranging from 1/4" to 1" in height
Keeping indoor by window, outside temp for now is too low (4-5 degrees celsius indoor is 22-23)
Watering when soil looks to be drying out.
Moves to south facing room to catch better rays... Still a touch too cold to put outside, between 5-15 C in Ontario during the day. Just watering once a day when needed.
Still slow going, getting some outdoor tone during the day with the sun out and warmer temperatures. Looking for the rising temperatures coming late May to complete the transition to be permanently outdoor. Looking for good things to come in the near future.
Been away with work for awhile, happy to update. Transferred 3 of 5 to a mix of medium and black earth in larger containers, they are doing much better. Topped the largest to experiment. They've been getting natural rain water mostly, watering when needed. Will add fert in a few weeks.
Started adding nutrients, 4-4-4 all purpose fert. We've had lots of rain and high humidity/sun on non rain days. Will be adding fert roughly 1-1.5 tbsp per plant per week.
