OK so here is the deal. I started our first plant back in June.. After singing up here I found out that the 1 plant that I have put so much time and effort into is a MALE... So instead of giving up I decided to start more This time I am doing more then one so this horrible let down hopefully don't happen again.
These are all bag seeds because I live in a place where I can not buy seeds so I am working with what I can get..
I searched through a few bags and with my little experience picked out the best ones to my ability.
I then placed them in a 8oz Tupper wear container soaked 6 seeds. 18-24 hrs later I noticed that the shells on them were beginning to crack, but not just crack but the hard shells were almost falling off. I decided that I would gently peel off the shells the rest of the way.( I have a very steady hand and a great pair of tweezers) I then put all 6 in a wet paper towel between 2 plates like a clam shell and left for 10 hours. 36 Hours ago I decided to plant them (in a ice cube tray with holes on the bottom) sense the shell was off and white part was showing and didn't want the seeds to get water logged.
I woke up this morning and turned on my lights and noticed one has popped!
I then very carefully planted them in a 8 oz Tupper wear container where it will stay until I have to put in a bigger pot. spooned 2 teaspoons of water and placed directly under the lights about 1 in from plant..
I will post pics in a few.. for taking the time to read my experiences..
