Look at this little bitty sprout!

[PlainJane]

After placing 4 (feminised) seeds in starter cubes and 4 days of anxious pacing later, one of them finally shows signs of life. Come on girls! (I'm hoping for triplets in an ideal world) :thumbsup:

Since I'm not quite ready to start a grow log but excited like a proud new parent, I wanted to show her first photo...

yay jane!! i just had three seeds crack over the last 48hr...one of them is looking just like that one.

Do you think it's normal for the others to be behind? The one is changing (a second tiny "stalk" sprouted up and she's a bit taller) but nothing whatsoever from the others.

I am not sure if I should just be patient with them or open the cube and see what's going on (possibly ruining them in the process) possibly scuff the unopened seeds with sandpaper or what.

Damn, I knew I should have done the paper towel method, these starter cubes are too mysterious.

It's dark, no drafts, the right temp and they're not too dry or too moist that I know of. It's been 5 days, which I know isn't long, but I am just unsure if one should be a couple days ahead of the others.

Any insight would be appreciated.

^ nevermind. I carefully pulled off the "plug hole" and see the seeds have broken and will hopefully sprout up soon... that is if I didn't ruin something, which is entirely my sort of luck.

Your little baby girl is adorable
Can't wait to see pics of the others when they peek their pretty little heads above ground, and I'm hoping this thread turns into a grow thread! With lots of pics!

[PlainJane]

Thank you. Oh I am sure they'll be plenty of pics of the girls if I can raise them right. I've never had much of a green thumb so this is a bit strange and stressful for me but I'm giving it my best shot and trying not to lose my head over it. I'm really glad to have found this forum, what an abundance of good info and good people. :thumbsup::jointsmile:

Just a recent photo before I get into a proper grow log.

Aren't they cute?

[FlyGuyOU]

I germed ~20 seeds, of those one 9 popped over the course of 5 days, so I have one which is a little big bigger than that pic, 5 about that size, and 3 still to come up...
so i guess its just a thing

[PlainJane]

OK, another photo. (proud mum) The (diffused) light seems to really be doing them good!

[PlainJane]

We're looking much better now, the 4th one has even sprung up!

"Marge" has two heads, which seems bizarre. Maggie seems to be the little star of the family.

I'll start an actual grow log soon.
