Indoor Heavyweight Seed 1st Leg LAST PHOTO CALL

[Exotic Flower]

It’s day 8 today.
Had a slow start after germinating and lost two of the seeds. Just didn’t seem to want to grow and then went all ick and brown. Makes me question my germ technique I’ve used forever... ugh but we are on our way finally and the girls seem to be doing ok for now. Just ph’d water for now and crosses fingers for some decent healthy plants soon.

Seems like your Jackpots are at about the same age as mine.
Mine may be fractionally further along, though, at a guess.
I don't know if you saw my post above, but with a simple
soak 24 hrs in H2O and a drop of H2O2, and into the soil,
I got a total of 87.5% for the Jackpot and Strawberries,
though just 75% for the Jackpot alone -- 3/4 seeds ok.
And that was at fairly cool / cold temps, about 13C-18C.

My seeds all popped but two didn’t make it past the surface after a week. They tried and then got all mushy and gross. It’s all good though. I figured some underdeveloped little ones out of what I picked to use was really the deal or my coco was too damn hot....

Okay, a little update. The three seeds that I dropped about 4 days ago and then went with the paper towel method one gave me a nice tail and has now sprouted above the Coco two others are still sitting in the paper towel in my grow room.

I didn't have a lot of faith in the two that were still in the paper towel so I dropped two more and they are now in the paper towel.

So in the following pictures the pink tinted pictures are in my grow room and they are the oldest seeds, the ones that are white have stayed in the house near the pellet stove I'll give them another day or two in the paper towel before I start freaking out.

I would like to grow out three of the seeds, but I have dropped eight so far and only had one sprout. So I might do a little ga3 experiment with my two remaining seeds I just have to decide.

I've never had that kind of germ rate with any kind of seed. It's really discouraging and the only thing I can think of these are old seeds. Like maybe somebody who was sending them out accidentally grabbed from a box full of returns from retailers? That's the only thing that would make any kind of sense to me.

It looks like that root tip is dying? Maybe bleaching chemicals still in paper towel?
