Third Times A Charm

All three seeds have cracked a quarter inch tap root about two days into being in a zip locked, lightly damp paper towel. One seed is slower than the others so I wonder if it will catch up or just be a runt. It’s winter season here so they weren’t under the best conditions yet surprisingly still germinated, but has been noticeably slower. I also planted them directly in the promix about half an inch deep. Straight tap water, no nutes. However, I did dip the tap roots in a cloning solution before planting. I will start week 1 of veg the day of the plants sprouts it’s first set of leaves. Will definitely consider going back to starting my seeds in peat pucks with a dome but this was still a good experiment. Update: the slowest seedling started growing underground with a really short tap root almost a week since planting. I have transplanted it into a peat puck. I am a curious to see if it will survive.
