The actual start day is June 25th, but I only had photos from the next day on the 26, so I started from here. On the first day I used a zip lock bag and a wet folded paper towel covering the seed on one side. One seed per bag. I placed each bag with paper towel side up onto a heating pad in my grow tent. Kept the lights off. The pad was set to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Now on June 26 I was pleasantly surprised the seeds sprouted in 1 day. The one with the longer tap root is the cookies gelato. I placed the sprouted tap roots into a starter tray with a humidity dome. I used no nutrients as of yet.
Good luck with your first run .. Don't overthink things .. just remember this is the most fragile part of the grow .. don't over water .. good luck growmie
