Well...still no sign of life out pof seeds 4 and 5, sprout 1 seems to be nothing than a shrivelled twig in spite of my efforts...

sprout 3 is showing signs of stunted growth and on the verge of shrivelling up like sprout 1, sprout 2 is growing its second set of leaves!

I'll try to save sprout 3 (it's not completely dried up yet)...I raised the HPS fixture a good 2.5 feet above the foam cups and watered them.

Many lessons learned in this grow...seedlings/sprouts/plants directly beneath the HPS bulb are more prone to heat damage so don't get any closer to the plant's tops than 2'; that's what happened to #1 and #3. #2 was within the arc of light but not directly beneath the bulb so it's doing well...

Sigh with my luck neither plant with turn out female No biggie, I do have the Afghani Special seeds on standby.
