This is my second attempt to "grow my own". The first time, last Sept., I got the seeds to germinate but no sprouts after planting, just mold on top of soil and dead tap roots.
Round two, got seeds to germinate again, planted in different potting soil (I don't much care for Scott's) and got 2 to break the surface of the soil. I put them outside to get some sun but after about 5 hours, they looked like they were wilting. I brought them inside and gave them some water, the humidity here is between 40 and 50%. They're inside now, out of the sun and heat but still low humidity under a comp flourescent light.
I'd like to grow them in pots and get them outside as much as possible but maybe it's just too much for those young seedlings to handle. I assumed since it is a weed that it would be a lot easier than it has been.
