Sanded and soaking of seeds today. Planting two plants this year. Haven't decided on the 150 contest yet. I'm only going to soak the seeds about 5 hours. I'll be starting seeds in 1 gal split pots, in promix myco. I may forgo the heating pad since the grow light generates enough warmth for germination. Seeds with backups are the 2021 Hoornstra and the 2465 Dawson. This year I will be drenching the planting hole with Azoxystrobin fungicide a week prior to planting. This was recommended to my by Western Laboratories based on a resent soil disease test that indicate "high" levels of fusarium, i.e. 1000 cfu. According to the lab, not high enough to jump ship, but high enough to take a wack at it.
