Spring 2021

Started all seeds in soil in 5 gal pots with only watering around the seed hole and small humidity dome area. For humidity domes I use the clear seedling insets and cut them into individual domes, I have had good luck with these. Mist them with de-chlorinated water every day sometimes twice. Watering with de-chlorinated non-ph'd tap water. 2 seeds popped on day 4, 2 more on day 5 and now on day 6 one more has popped up. The auto lemon seed is a freebie from seedsman that I have had for over year. Hopefully she pops up tomorrow which is day 7. Lemon did not pop, dug her up and she tried but only had about 1/4" or less tap root from seed hull. The Purple Punch had popped ok and seemed to be doing well, on Sunday, day 7 in the a.m. check I noticed she had wilted over, I tried propping her up but at the end of the day it was clear she was not healthy. I dug her up and she had about 2 - 2 1/2 inch tap root that seemed thick and healthy. The top seemed thin and not healthy. I started PH-ing the water to 5.6 I may start a couple of photos for mothers in place of the 2 seeds lost from the auto crop.
