Well I don’t know what happened to the seeds while they were in transit? I just germinated 18 seeds successfully at the same time and under the exact same conditions. I have honestly no clue why both didn’t germinate! They are from a seedbank overseas. Maybe customs did something to the seeds? I will try to germinate the last one via paper towel method in my bedroom, where I can maintain ultimate control. Just a constant 75F. I’ve always managed to get seeds to germinate via paper towel method. I also always get them to germinate via direct sow. I watched these two seeds along with many others in very tiny little starter pots. They all germinated beautifully! These two started at same time under same conditions but….. nothing so far. I’m keeping my fingers crossed! **************************************** Thanks for the 100% Authentic “Bawelna” Socks from Poland! Super cool. I don’t remember being required to start all 3, so the third one is almost half the size, I’m saving it as backup in case there are any issues with the first two. I am using a soil mix consisting of 50% reused from last year. I mixed a lot of fresh lime and azomite to help restore balance as well a small amount of humic shale ore. However not as much humates were added as I normally would due to limited supplies. Nevertheless the media seemed like it probably had adequate levels of humates from last year. The remaining 50% was a new “ultimate potting soil” consisting of peat moss and perlite with “starter charge” (for seedlings I guess??), dolomitic and calcitic limestone, and wetting agent. Manufactured in Quebec, product of Canada! I checked the soil pH after filling two 3-gallon fabric pots with the 50/50 mix, resulting a pH of 7 The average high is 78 Fahrenheit during the day. At night, the average low is 44 Fahrenheit. As of day 1. Day 6: They have been staying in the shade all day every day so they don’t get too hot! The high is about 78, soil temp is about 75, I’ve found keeping it well hydrated really easy, still I check them to make sure they are good. Day 8: really concerning why I haven’t seen anything yet! All the other seeds I have started have come up already. They have all been in the same environment germinating together. So it’s strange these are behind. Maybe the seeds are really old. Day 9: I carefully removed the soil on top of the seeds to check on them. I easily found both seeds, they were both wet and dark but neither popped! It’s really discouraging! I mean the temperature was good the whole time, they never dried out, they were definitely NOT drowning! I’m really confused. Everything has been ideal for germination and I literally just germinated over a dozen at same time in same way in the exact same environment, except the others were in smaller pots that could have had more room for error. And they all germinated with remarkable success. So why these two didn’t germinate is really upsetting to me. I don’t understand why they haven’t pooped after all this time. I didn’t take pictures, I don’t go to get my camera, I just put them back in to germinate some more. But this time would be harder to find them again. I knew exactly where they were before. Now I’d have to look for them. But THANK GOD I have this last little seed. She’s my obi wan! My only hope! Lol
