This is my first time with seeds also. I planted fresh seeds mid December and they started sprouting within 4 days. I planted 72 and all
but 4 came up. Although the seeds came from the same pod, they have not emerged at the same time, some only germinated recently.
Originally they were starved for light. Not having a great location to start seeds, I had them in a guest room and we had unexpected company so they had to go outside, under a dome on a heat mat. The weather was cloudy for days and I feel a number of seedlings stretched up looking for light. They are back inside now under lights but you can see how some are long and skinny.
I had planned on distributing these babies to a propagation class tomorrow but they don't seem to have a lot of roots and I hesitated to transplant them under those circumstances. Do the rest of you find minimal root systems?
Thanks Ursula.
