All 3 seeds germinated successfully with these peat pods. Overall I'm not impressed by using them. For full germination as was recommended to me by a friend that always used them. Plus peat moss is unsustainable when farming and harvesting it. I won't use them again personally but they did the job ok and they retained water very well. I didn't add any water to them after they were hydrated and kept them in a dome to keep the humidity around 80-90%.
One is dead due to the shell not coming off on its own. By the time I helped it was already a brown and yellow mush.
Another did not split its first leaves on its own. I helped it a little bit but not sure if it will make it. I have it propped up due to it growing sideways too. I will keep a close eye on it.
The last one came out just fine. And a small root was coming out the bottom of the peat pod. Hopefully it's a female!
All of them are now in 4x4 inch by 6 inches deep pots. I have my light turned down to its lowest setting and 36 inches away. Going to run these for 18/6 cycle. Normally I do full 24 during veg but trying something different this grow.
