Only one plant germinated (not sure which) so I will be starting another seed of Girl Scout Cookies paper towel method.
Had trouble with small plant and believe it was over watered I only watered once three days after planting in pod about 1/8 cup at most distilled water and pod looked droopy. Ended up lowering the light and plant looks like it’s coming back to life. Will have to wait and see if it grows further before I place in 5 gallon pot.
As mentioned I will start germination of another seed since I have two pots and mixed soil with nutrients I don’t want to go to waste. Trying a different method since water and cup only had 50/50 go.
You’re getting the hang of it :) in my opinion that little peat moss pod holds too much water for your seedlings and that was giving you the hard starts on them. The roots need to be able to breathe :)
When I water, I saturate my whole pot, to encourage seeker roots to fully fill the pot and not have air pockets. It usually is 3-4 days before I have to water again, and I put my fingers in the dirt an inch or two down, and if I feel moisture it’s alright :)
These are my opinions or course lol but over and under watering is easy to do on the first go around :)
I ended up spraying a little distilled water and gently getting the outer seed coating off of the seedling. It opened up and is none doing well again. Also the lights have been on a 16 on 8 off but I’ve switched to 19 on 5 off.
