started on 11/24 @ 10am. Both seeds popped and planted at @2pm on 11/25. PL had 1 CM taproot and broke ground by EOD 11/26. ZB had .5 cm taproot.
ZB is struggling to properly through the dirt and lose the shell. Started a second seed that also seems to be struggling to pop a Taproot. First I tired the paper towel method and then tried doing the seed. Put it back in a paper towel after a day and added heat and finally the root popped.
It seems the ZB seeds are total duds so I started a random Gorilla Cookies seed I had. I dont have a pot ready so planted the seed on 12/2 in a coco husk cup and put it in a dome on a warming mat. The taproot looked strong even if it was slow ( ~1cm)
throwing in the towel on the first ztrawberriez seed. Second seed attempt finally popped and lookin OK. The stem grew quite a bit before the cap came off. Leaves look OK. Gorilla cookies is not poking out yet :/
Gorilla cookies never popped. I dont know how strong of a seed it was or if I did someting. Same with the first attempt at ztrawberriez. However the second seed is looking like a keeper!
