They’re all growing indoors, 3” under a mother.life grow light in well draining houseplant soil amended with worm castings. The pots have plastic domes with humidity valves. I filled the pots with dirt, layer seeds atop soil, then covered them with a sprinkle of additional soil. I misted the seeds daily with water until their first true leaves grew, then watered properly with a vitamin B supplement added.
Now that secondary growth has started, I will water with weekly with a fertilizer at 1/4 strength until plants are well established.
I didn’t use a seedling heat mat but ambient room temps during the day have stayed around 70 f. Night temps above 65 f.
I’ve added my growing method to my review because I think germination quality is largely dependent upon it.
Thank you for the awesome seeds & happy growing everyone!
