I've got another run of Pink animal crackers(https://growdiaries.com/diaries/148818-grow-journal-by-bitwood) that I started but I've had these seeds for over a year now and always wanted to give them a go and thought if I started them now, I'd have these in time for Christmas. I have the extra room so figured why not. These are regular seeds to really took a gamble originally only popping 3 seeds with the possibility that they're both males. So a few days later from the start, I started 2 more.
7/20 - Germinated 3 seeds in a glass of 25% solution hydrogen peroxide/filtered tap water.
7/21 - After 24 hours the tap root on one of them(We'll call her #2) emerged from its shell and was transferred to a Dixie cup filled with Fox Farms Happy Frog with a dash of Xtreme Gardeners Mykos and watered it in. A dome to retain heat and moisture was placed over it.
7/22 - Still no signs of germination on #1. #3 finally popped her tap root and was also transferred to soil with a dash of Mykos and watered in. I didn't think this over when intially starting them that these are regular seeds. With the potential for males and #1 not showing any signs of life, I decided to start 2 more seeds. We'll call these #4 and #5.
7/24 - #2 has already emerged from the soil. #4 and 5 had their tap roots emerged from the shells so they were also transferred to Dixie cups with a dash a Mykos, watered in and placed under the dome.
7/26 - Still no signs of life on #1. Removed the seed from the water and planted it in my 4x2 bed. Here it will either become worm food or if by some chance it actually emerges, I'll transplant it to its own container. #2 is looking good. It already has its first true leaves. #3,#4, and #5 are already starting to emerge from the soil.
7/27 - #4 and #5 almost have their cotyledon leaves out of the soil. #3 hasn't really done anything. Its starting to look like it might not make it.
7/29 - #3 didn't make it. #4 and #5 have already broken the soil and have their true leaves emerging. Looks like we're good to go with 3 of the 5 seeds that were started. Moved them to a grow tent and placed a filter bag over the dome to cut the light intensity down a bit. PPFD readings under the light filter are 200. In another day or two once all of them have their true leaves fully emerged, I'll remove the filter bag.
