Soldiers all in line: my Crystal Experience

I’m trying to make this journal helpful to me & anyone else who didn’t have a clue. So I’m putting everything down.
Two days ago girl were put on pods. I’m always terrified I’ll hurt the roots & 1 had one over an inch. Put under 250 MH @ 20 " running 14/10. Last time I ran 18/6 but alot of folks here use the 14/10 as it simulates their time in natural sun.

You’d think I was crazy! Girls wake at 8 & still have a hold out not wanting to sprout yet. Bet I’ve already poked my head in to see if maybe I can now see one as if I could will it.

It’s been 6 days since seeds were put into pods. One has yet to pop up. How long do I wait for her?

I think I would go up to 2 weeks if you don’t have any other reason to pull it. After you hit about 7-10 days it’s pretty unlikely they will come up, but it does happen.

I had trouble this time with paper towels and sinking seeds. Eventually I dropped them into soil and voila!

After I quit the paper towel routine I personally have had better luck with soaking then soil. :blush:

Don’t use the p towel method just put in pods as soon as sunk & see tails.
It’s making me crazy! Or at least a little crazier than I already am. Lol

Sadly I never had any children. But, I’ve been adopted by a little family here. :heart::blush: & now have 2 holy terror grandsons :rofl:, a wonderful daughter and soninlaw. Both grandsons are “special needs” in the autism spectrum.
I have a nephew and grandniece by blood. I helped raise my nephew and have only met my grandniece once.

Ok Boo, you’re a true granny. I’m adopted & was blessed with great parents. My middle grandson has Spina bifida and he’s a joy. One reason to grow medical. Family’s all about the heart not the bloodline💓

Monday blues! Got up & fourth still hasn’t sprouted. The third girl will be put into cup like her bigger sisters till bigger. Gonna give the holdout few more days. My domes looking like a coffin instead of a nursery😢

I’m so sorry. Been a gloomy rainy day here. My motivation is at a low and have too much to do before winter :cry:

Day 9, no sprout😨. I’ve got one see left, do I drop her? Don’t think this last one will ever pop so debating if I want to go with three or drop the last one into h20 . Need to decide soon if I do drop she’ll have to play catch up.

Or just store that seed for the next grow?

It’s just that now I’m wondering will this seed sprout? Being pessimistic, I know but should I wait to see if it’s a dud or not as well.
Decisions, decisions
