first seeds popt out of the soil today at 10 pm. my 440 and my 650 are germinated. so it took around 78 hours for a ful germination. the germinator works.
Monday, December 22 View Page
the seeds popt out of soil after 78 hours , so I think that the germination was after one day or so
Monday, December 22 View Page
