On Friday March 1, 2024 I dropped five ILGM Girl Scout Cookies Extreme Photoperiods in 80 degrees Fahrenheit spring water. I put the coffee mug on a seedling mat and let it stay in the dry tent without the lights on.
24 hours later (3/2/2024) three beans sprouted. 48 hours later (3/3/2024) I put the three beans in a rapid rooter soaked in distilled water and fresh aloe gel. The two beans that didn’t sprout, I used a cup of distilled water and two capfuls of hydrogen peroxide and back into the coffee mug. The two beans are now floating.
Late night on 3/3/2024 I dropped two more seeds in case the others wouldn’t germinate
72 hours later 3/4/2024 two seeds had tails, one had the helmet come off and the cotyledon was showing. As of today, five seeds popped tails and are in the rapid rooter under the humidity dome. I have two seeds in the jar and will have to fit them in the tent or grow them at the window.
3/5/2024 we have all seven seeds with tails. Waiting for them to all pop from the soil.
First one is Sprouts The Girl Wonder

Had some seeds go dud and had to germinate more seeds, we might have 8 plants total. Of the original germination, only two plants survived and that’s Birdie and Elizabeth Reed. Sprouts is still in the ICU. We also have two more seedlings in ICU and that’s Mrs Claw and Flipper.
