seed started 2/20/2020
It took 1 day of shot glass dunk method, which was 2oz bottled water in shot glass for 12 hours floating at the 12th hour it sunk. i gave another 12 hours had small tail already starting.
Placed for 3 days inside paper towel in 1 gallon ziplock using water from 2oz shot glass.
on day 5 i sewed directly into soil only had 5 mm tap root.
placed the seed directly in my burpee expanding seed starter mix, mixed with 10lb bag of black gold all purpose soil I also put in 1/4 cup of blood and bone meal each respectively into the soil. filled my tray which appears to be about 2l pots... not entirely sure of the pot size. Im intending to move these outdoors.
5 days in tray seems like watering today it is about to pop up through the soil and stand on its own by day 6 in soil. so we are on day 11 respectively Still maintaining keeping the moisture accurate in the mixture. not really looking for metered watering currently. Have only used 1/4 gallon of my mix between 6 different seed strains.
Im expecting 1 week in soil by 3/3/2020 it will be starting to be measurable and accurately approached to all aspects of its life cycle as it pops through the top of the soil. I chose to cover it back up today because it wasnt fully developed and may have exposed itself prematurely.
3/2/2020: it has sprouted still appears to have remnants from the seed coat and the cotyledon hasnt opened. I also put a humidity dome on this plant to ensure its not too dry in my seed starting setup. Appears to be a healthy color and the tallest sprout. Minus the fact it hasnt opened up yet. Which hopefully will resolve itself by end of the day. added end of day photo will start week 2 officially at 3/3/2020
@smoking_hills9, actually sadly both my auto died they sprouted tap roots, i put em in starters and both of them aborted. as well as all the blow dream i was growing on my 5th and last seed of blow dream.
@smoking_hills9, its not a waste since they are all sharing the same light. + its lighting a bunch of seedlings for my food plot. So its just a matter of practicing at this point :)
