801.5 Stelts 1997 Seed Germination Project.

Using an adaptation of the "Deno Method", I am attempting to germinate 3 801 Stelts seeds. This method employs the use of 1000ppm Giberrellic Acid solution to facilitate germination. I have also added hydrogen peroxide at a 1:10 dilution for proposed synergy between the GA3 and H2O2.

Two reliable germinators (light colored seeds) have been added to this program to serve as controls.

The pie pan germination incubator will be enclosed in a gallon-size ziploc to preserve humidity and placed inside an oven with an oven light on to maintain ~80 degrees. I will remove the incubator after 24hrs and transfer seeds to potting mix. Then cross my fingers.

Thank you to the generous growers who entrusted me with what must surely be the last few remaining 801 Stelts seeds.
