Day 1 - Soaked seeds for 24hrs in 1% hydrogen peroxide and 99% RO water, in an ice tray. Ice tray placed inside darkened grow tent on a warming pad with thermostat set at 78f/26c.
Day 2 - Transferred seeds to paper towels soaked in RO water, and placed in labeled zip-lock bags. Returned seeds in zip-lock bags to darkened grow tent on a warming pad with thermostat set at 78f/26c.
Day 3 - After 48 hours 7 seeds are showing tap roots. I still have high hopes for the remaining 2 seeds. These girls are starting of very good.
Day 3 - 56 hours and 1 of the 2 remaining seeds has presented a tap root. 8 out of 9 seeds has been transferred to peat pellets, labeled, watered, and placed with heat and light. Last seed without tap root placed inside darkened container and returned to the heating pad.
Day 4 - 72 hours and the last seed has shown tap root. Last seed transfered to peat pellet, labeled, watered, and placed with heat and light.
