- observation: “Not perhaps actually warm enough in seedling trays. Raised mat Thermostat to 85°F. Also, squeezed excess water from each Mat and repositioned seed just below top of fold. Warmer, more air - she’ll be right . . .

AC3Q 5:G:0:5
- One seed spun in it’s seedling mat cocoon and knotted - Unviable
- One was looking red at the to be root cap, stress since looking at it this morning? Anyway it’s planted with the other 5, so we’ve 6 sprouts thus far
- Of the two that didn’t germinate yet - I pressed the seam of one gently but firmly until it cracked and open slightly. Same with other EXCEPT squeezed between Radicle and abscission - with a VERY light Crack indicating compromise of the seed hull - we’ll see!

- 1 to JP (3 Total)
- Raised light tO 240 PPFD
Of 10, Lost 1 (WTF?), 1 Failed to germinate, 1 had a root spiral which disqualifies it for grow.

Thanx @GrowingGrannie! - I'm still working through the data I collect - but find it keeps me on track, and gives me a record to review for reference in future grows.
Good luck on yours!
