Wedding Cake Auto RQS

So, my white widow i think is a real widow now, her freebie sister diesel automatic I believe has failed to germinate. So I am going back to a method I know has previously worked, a 12hr soak in ph corrected water followed by dark germination in a wet paper towel before being transplanted to a peat pellet and placed in final pot. 14th-15th Wow. 36 hours later she has germinated and formed a very healthy looking taproot. She has been planted in a jiffy pot/peat pellet, loosely covered and placed in a shallow hole in her final pot. So far good signs! Update when she breaches soil! 17th breached soil!!! She's a little toughie 💪some shell remained on seed, advised drop of water directly on it. 5 minutes later popped off. 18th watered with 500ml of plain ph corrected water 21st watered with 500ml of plain ph corrected water
