On Saturday, 18-06-2022 I made a mix of filtered tap water and a couple drops of EMAS in jar. I dropped the seed in the water and tried to push it down but it continued to float, after 15+ mins I agin tried to make the seed sink but it remained afloat. After 5.5+ hours I set the seed using Garden Fundamentals@Youtube's "Improved paper towel and baggy method for germinating seeds (fast)", slightly modified. I put a folded sheet of paper towel in a bag and dampened it using a spray bottle with the same mix used to soak the seed and put the seed in the bag. After a few minutes I was concerned I put too much water in the bag and opened it to drain any excess water. I put the bag inside another plastic bag and tried to capture as much natural air in that bag before tying off and put that bag in a warm dark cupboard. I set alarms twice daily to check the seed for growth. I was pleasantly surprised to see a small tail on the seed when I checked it the next evening, 19-06-2022. I immediately pot up the seed in a 4 inch pot with pure coir watered with filtered tap water. Last night, 21-06-2022, I saw the first sign of upward growth and today it is what you see in the pics. I regret not taking the pic of the seed with tail. I don't know if the EMAS helped the speed of germination but it has not seemed to hurt. I am well pleased.
I must give a shout out to Greenhouse Seeds. Prices for the seeds and the cost of shipping was reasonable. The transaction with them was smooth and shipping was relatively fast, less than a month to the Caribbean. There was an error that was immediately acknowledged on notification by me and the fix should be available soon. Although not particularly discreet, I did not pay for that option, the seeds were securely packaged. The one seed I have tried was obviously viable. I am looking forward to growing out this and the other seeds I bought, The Church and Super Lemon Haze Auto.
Now that I have a seed with known genetics from a reputable breeder, I am even more determined to follow my own advice from the start of my previous grow that failed so spectacularly because I went rogue.
