Seedling Status Jan 27 - 100% Germination

rnewste · January 27, 2013

Seedlings started Jan 11 are developing very well:

Full germination of each Variety. I start 2 seeds per cell just as a precaution, then will snip the weaker plant after potting up. Just 2 seeds did not germinate but fortunately its cell-mate did.

I've now given them a treatment of Azos:

And they seem to be responding well to it.

I am very happy with the Burpee XL Ultimate Grow System and I think planting the seeds only 1/4 of an inch deep is key to success. My only disappointment has been the attraction of fungus gnats to the coir based grow material - but a focused spray of Docktor Doom takes care of them:

I plan on potting up to Solo cups on Feb 10 and put them back under the lights to further develop.
