zip420 Since these are old stock, I helped them along by cracking the shells. Setting soaking day as Day #0. Keeping room temp at 25°C with a 24/0 light cycle. Adjusted the light to around 170 µmol/m²/s PPFD (measured through the cup). Water only, pH adjusted to 6.0.
First attempt update: Germinated and standing, but no true leaves emerging. Growth has stalled completely. Likely due to old seed age or early stress. Decided to retire this one to focus on the much stronger third seedling and stay on track for my February schedule.
