I'll step through my pathetic germination phase in this single post. I jumped on the pre-germ date by dropping two Berry Ryders and my last Sucker Punch seed.

Sucker Punch never cracked, so end of story there. One Berry Ryder did, and so went into a starter plug, and one didn't. So I dropped a 3rd Berry Ryder on Aug 26th. After a couple of more days it seemed pretty obvious that the 1st Berry Ryder in the starter plug was never going to show. So I dropped a 4th Berry Ryder on the 29th of August.

Started to get real nervous. I so want to be in this competition. I reached for my final Berry Ryder seed, and my last Purple Stilton seed and dropped them on Sept 1.

Then, scrapping the barrel of my seed inventory, I discovered a lone Chemdog seed from my very first grow back in Jan 2017. So in she went on Sept 2:

Ok, so that was all and the end of my AutoSeeds seeds. And here's what we got. Berry Ryders [HASHTAG]#4[/HASHTAG] and [HASHTAG]#5[/HASHTAG] popped. And a couple of days later we got Chemdog & Purple Stilton.

Nicely done sir. 2 year old seeds in the dirt and happy, now that's what i'm talking about!

Day 8 for the Berry Ryders and day 6 for Stilton and Chemdog. The problem is ... the Purple Stilton has been above ground for 6 days, but has not opened her first real leaves ???

 

[Only1Sky]

Alright, now its been 9 days ... Chemdog is working on her 3rd set of true leaves whereas Purple Stilton is still just showing the cotyledons. This can't be good.

The two Berry Ryders, at 11 days, are coming along as to be expected.

That is very interesting. We know from experience that Purple Stilton likes to put her legs down early, which may account for some of it, however 9 days would be extreme. Can you take a close up of the cotelydons, in particular, is the formation point between the leaves showing at all?

@Autoseeds.com - here's a few shots of the Purple Stilton at 10 days above ground. I don't know how to interpret what we're seeing ... or NOT seeing.

The leaf site is exposed and the very tips are visible which is a good sign. watch her closely for a couple of days, as long as there is no browning of the leaf tips you should be good. It is weird though....
