FYI, I tried to germinate 2 of my 1279.5 seeds, they did not sprout in the blue paper shop towel. I've germinated this seed at 100% (22 for 22) up until this attempt. I then tried 4 more seeds but using white paper napkins, all 4 sprouted within 36 hours.

I tried the C16, kinda smelly, but the plant shot out of its hull like a rocket!!

What's C16? When I go to purchase it do I ask for C16?

JB, you think the blue shop towels are treated w/ chemical of some sort that stopped germination?? Peace, Wayne

Wayne,
That thought did occur, one reason I posted. The blue shop towels hold moisture well and are easy to work with, but they were the only variable on my ungerminated seeds. I'll try it again with several test seeds vs white paper towels to test this thought. John

when the seed germinates how deep do you plant it in the pot

Well,
My side by side blue vs white paper towels test results were the same, 2 for 2 w/in 48 hours for each.
So.... I absolve blue paper towel from my skeptical list.
Go figure.
