Day 2. 48 Hours since they went into the seed starting mix (Miracle Gro). A third round of pumpkin seed starting. I've tested twice with last years pumpkin which is a much thinner seed coat than the ones I've been getting for 2012. I started 3 seeds that were complimentary seeds recieved when I got WCGP Vol. III and since I've no idea what the hierarchy is or what it came from, I figured they would be fine to test with. (Don Langavins Private Collection)
After a careful check, the three seeds placed in 4" black plastic pots have germinated and 2 of the 3 have tap roots about an inch. The third is a little behind with a 1/2" tap root. I'll leave them alone now that I know they've all germinated.
Lowered the fluorescent lights to a couple inches above the tomatoes, (the coated beefsteak seed I bought at Lowes). The complimantary seed that came with Marvin Meisners "Giant Tomatoes" have yet to show signs of life.
**Black plastic pots retaining the heat better?
