Germination Day 2: 6/15 Both seed cracked their shells in less than 24 hours. One much more than the other but I believe I can see a small white excursion on the less evident seed.
Only 23 hours in a shotglass of water on the router. Whew, typical
@Twenty20 Adam style and extremely fast germination.
Tonight into the jiffy pellets. I hydrate them with a mix of 500ml distilled water and 0.5ml of General Hydroponics BioRoot. Had to use a bit of pH UP and final numbers were 63ppm and 6.6pH
Not all the water gets added but it's tough to pH and dose small amounts. I fill the tray with the solution and wait until they fully puff/expand. Pour off the excess and then add back in just enough to cover the bottom with a mm or so of liquid. Then cover on, and back onto the router to stay warm.

Yep, it's one of those cheezy germination kits you can get at the Depot or Lowes. About to be parked on the router. I do position it so that the pellets themselves are not on the router but the heat is applied indirectly to the rest of the box. Usually a nice steamy looking affair by the AM and if history with the Twenty20 seeds holds, I expect to see sprouts by tomorrow afternoon, early evening. We shall see!

If only one comes up I may drop another.
Possible plans:
If two seeds sprout: 1.5 gal airpots in BioBizz LightMix, one with DynaGro one with Oregons Only NFTG line
If only one seed: 3 gal airpot in BioBizz LightMix with DynaGro, then repeat grow with NFTG
