Hi Uli,
Thank you.
No, they are in a secure position and there is no chance of any sort of disturbance, and if I move them I am careful. I placed them away from the window under a 15W LED lamp, and the jug holding water is enclosed in a large plastic ziplock bag. Maybe I should open the bag? The temperature is around 20oC during the day and slightly less at night where they are. I did not want to put them on the windowsill or even close to the window because there would be substantial temperature fluctuations (from around 14 at night to 28oC on a sunny day).
I used tap water, as others observed they had better results with tap water. I do live in a hard water area though - I suspect that might affect germination to some degree, but most likely would not cause root detachment, would it...?
Yes, I got two packets specifically to try one in the spring and one in the autumn. There were very mixed opinions regarding the best seed starting time in that discussion, so I wanted to see for myself.
I could maybe try planting some, but from what I read, most people observed that when they planted seeds with roots which did not have any leaves yet, they all died.
Have you tried that Uli?
Thank you.
