Well after the PGVG auction I had a nice surprise! In the grow chamber the recently vacated pumpkin plants created some more room, so I thought I would try my luck with two types of Marigolds. My thought was that they would sprout in about 5 to 10 days. But to have this in 48 hours is really cool!!
As they are shown here, they were moved out of the germination box and onto the table which is under a thick plastic "tent, mainly to help hold the heat from the desk heater (just barely visible at the top of the picture). The heater was purchased not really for the "heat" feature, but mainly for the fan only part I can run. This was a suggestion from Scott_Kim_west to get some air moving over my tomato seedlings (test run number 2) so they would develope a stronger stem. I guess I'll find out how well it works on marigolds.....Looks like all 72 peat pellets are going to have sprouts since more than one marigold seed went in each one!
