Happy palindromic 4202024.
To help celebrate I’m starting a couple of Euphoria seeds and making the first diary entry of the season.
This year i’m doing two photoperiod plants, starting today, and two autos that I’ll start in mid-May.
Apr 22: moved into soil after about 48 h in 25 C water in the dark. Have a ripe apple beside the seeds under the foil because apparently the ethylene gas that is given off helps. Science paper I happened across last winter - will post reference when I remember.
Apr 25: removed foil (and apple) and left on a 25 C heat mat beside a light that is going for tomatoes and peppers. Weak light, warmth, and high humidity is what they need at this stage.
