Hydrated seed in distilled water with a PH of 6.3 and then germinated in a moist paper towel for about 2.5-3 days. Planted seed at 5:00pm on Friday, February 5th. Seed was through the soil by late Saturday night. Watered with fresh PH'ed water for the first 5 days and then did a very light feed at half strength. So far so good.
