Off To A Critical Start
After almost two months from when the breeder pack first arrived, the 5 seeds were finally dropped into water for their prep-soak.
As always, the first twenty-four hours were the longest.
After their prep-soak, the seeds were dropped into jiffy pellets since they hadn't yet shown their tap roots.
The first seedling sprouted on the second day after being placed in the starter pellet.
I lied about the first twenty-four, though. They weren't so bad. The next day, day 3, slowly crept by without any activity under the dome; and so it was slightly adjusted to allow for airflow and for the first seedling to begin to acclimate.
Day four started with a pleasant three new starts; and just one left to go!
Things were picking up; and I was reassured that I would be seeing this run through as planned! Or so I thought...
