I had nine out of ten seeds germinated this Spring. Would you like to guess which one did not? The Daletas 783 for which I paid over $200! :>( I gambled and lost!

how long did you let it try to germinate? I've got one right now thats past the 96 hour mark and its JUST starting to grow the radical(so another 2-3 days before it pops thru the soil), my other 3 plants are already popping out of the soil.

My 783 was also the last to pop out of the nine I started. I took almost four days to show sign of any life.

Sorry to hear that Stan. When something of mine doesnt germinate, I just figure it didnt go for a reason(723 in 2001) So far this year I am 39 for 40, and the 1 that didnt go I knew was hollow.

The reason is "unknown" to me....so, I'll just plant another one of my own seeds. :>) Now if it goes 1100#, then I'll know the reason!

It's always good to plant your own.

I was leaning towards someone else's seed but it failed. Now we are watching two of my own...One will earn the right to go on within a few more days. Hee Hee I shall get to cull me own. I'm having to work up to that decision. :)

I had a record 7 days before my first seed germinated. A 966 Holland. I had it in temp and humidity controlled conditions too.... and filed the edges as well. I paniced and started another batch of seeds, now they are all up. Oh well, I good problem to have, but I don't have room for everything so I think I'll double plant each each site and keep the best. I like how mother nature ultimately makes some of the decisions in this sport/hobby/obsession.
Happy Growing

WOW Kayla! You are only postponing the pain in making the final decision. I wish a great year for you!
