Ibgrowing I germinated my seed by firstly letting it sit in water overnight. After 8h I put in a (not soaking) wet coffee filter, in a ziplock, that I placed in a warm cupboard. After only 36 hours my seeds had sprouted (orange sherbet on the left and purple lemonade on the right). I left them in for a bit longer (until 48h after waterboarding them), and prepared my soil. I used regular soil from the supermarket and textile bags.
The morning after (12h after first sign of germination), I placed my sprouts in the soil. This was a bit early but I was very impatient.
I also used strawberry baskets as a makeshift humidity dome, I hope that they are not too big.
This comment will be the same as my other diary (purple lemonade) because I am very busy at the moment and it's pretty much the same.
Looking forward to my grow.
(PS: for now they are placed inside because it's not hot enough outside)
Ibgrowing This lady is not up to a very good start. When she germinated, her cotyledons were somehow damaged 😨.
They had yellow/brownish spots and have not grown anymore since, they are now dying off.
She is still growing as you can see, but at a slower rate than she normally would. (because the cotyledons were unable to provide photosynthesis)
Now that her leaves are getting bigger I expect her growth to ramp up a bit faster.
I positioned her under a tilted window in my attic, it is nice and warm there. I have watered twice since germination (400ml and 500ml of rain water). When the sun goes under I let her sit under a grow lamp to get a few extra light hours.
I hope she will recover from her injuries and go on to become a nice looking plant!
