Right so new enough to the whole thing, i.e. site included so dunno if this is posted in the right spot or whatever but have a few bag seeds and did the whole germination in the paper towels and two popped the shell and I in turn popped them in some compost soil for seedlings and covered it with clingfilm... so I was thinking happy days ...however the first seed which is now about 5 days post germ has sprouted which (I am pleased to inform peeps about) but the tip is brown and since day one of sprouting has shown no real growth...its under a cfl on its own and on an 18/6 cycle but no growth since then really and no intial leaves just a green shoot! should I be worried and counteract with some more experienced suggestions or should I give it more time? Its only bag seed and I had about 10 but like a little plant would be cool...perhaps it gets to cool at night and I am not maintaining a constant temp?

anyhow the other seed I have just potted after germ and the waiting on some action with that...
So I am bored waiting so i got the rest of the non-germinated seeds and popped them in the water and most sank...so surely that means the testa has been broken down and they are good to go ...I have risked potting them too and just have them covered with cling film and in the room now too...(currently down about a day). The last two seeds that didnt germ i put in a glass of water and put away in a cupboard and well unsure what to do with them now!? I have to go away nxt week on this college thing so ill be away for five days and i'll get someone to water and whatever and I can pick up some stuff if I need it to grow the seeds. Its only bag seeds...not expecting anything major but a plant or two would be nice
Im not going to go mad out expensive just need a discrete way to get these seeds to grow and maybe the seedling to do something other than look miserable!:wtf: Any suggestions for cfls or equipment on a small scale would be appreciated!
PEAS OUT!:rastasmoke:
