I'm starting my first ever indoor (anything) seedling project this winter. I've got 14 crosses that I going to try and grow indoors under lights. This will be win or FAIL!!
My goal is to raise my seedlings indoors, and to have large seedlings to plant out in the spring. Increase my germination rate to 50-75%. Outdoors I'm only getting maybe a 30% total rate. This will be a on going update over the next few months. I'm doing the soak in water for 5-7 days then in the refrigerator for 4-6 weeks. Then into pots under lights.
