This is only day 2 since I started germination. All 5 of the seeds I started successfully cracked and developed a 1/2 inch tap root. I started with a 12 hour soak in 5 parts water and 1 part 3% hydrogen peroxide, and then transferred them to a wet papertowel in a plastic sandwich bag for an additional 12 hours. They have been transfered into Gaia Green Organic Living Soil. They will live inside until the beginning of May and then be transferred outside to grow through the summer directly in the ground and finish outside hopefully in September or early October.
Looking great... I like the structure of number 3. I also have the same mutation you are describing and amazed at the growth and structure. Already a favorite!
