These four seeds were the second batch of four that I attempted at germinating. The first two looked okay, but never sprouted. The second batch of two I scarified to help get the water in as the first two seemed to not get hydrated enough. Well, one of the two I sanded too hard and think I messed the seed up, until that was the only one that looked like it was moving. It didn't.
This time I put four seeds, untouched, into my usual plastic bag with wet paper towel. Two sprouted by the 11th of January and I waited until the 13th to put into soil, the third popped so it went in as well. The 14th I put the fourth into dirt as it had sprouted. The third seed isn't going to pop, so I got 3 total out of 8.
HSC is hit or miss for me, but once I get one to grow I've been somewhat happy. But this rate is ridiculous. I'll have to keep a mother on standby once I find the pheno that treats me right.
