Day 5 +2 hours and 15 minutes. It took a little more than 10 days to get to this same point on the first round. The last test batch were in peat pots, and here they are seeded in Jiffy pellets. What's made the difference?

1. Jiffy peat pellets
2. The plastic cover that comes with the tray.
3. Keeping them between 75 to 80 degrees
4. And when they sprout, getting a fan to get a light breeze a few times a day.

Steps 1, 2, & 4 are something I didn't get quite right with round one. Both times the seeds were set in the grow box and germinated there or you could use your oven with the light on.

Looks like this will work out and will pot them up when I see a set of first true leaves. Having a fan going on this set has made a bigger difference!
