At 7 A.M., 1004 and 1147 are sown into seed starting mix and placed into a germination chamber with temperatures between 85-90°F. The first 1004 is transplanted into a one gallon plastic pot. It had a little trouble getting out of its seed coat but it eventually slipped off. That’s why its cots are still snug together.

The 742 has yet to break the surface 7 days after being sown. When I first took the 742 in hand it looked and felt like it might be hollow towards the tip, but as previously mentioned I did see a root coming out of it so it isn’t an immature seed, possibly just underdeveloped. Some have said that underdeveloped seeds typically show low vigor when germinating and that they make up for it later. I hope that’s the case.
