I germinated the seeds for two days on wet paper. I noticed that different seeds have different modes of root growth. Some produced long root with little root hairs and others short root with many root hairs. Is this an indication of plant vigor? I suppose that slow root growth indicates weaker plant.
I know that many of you select plants soon after germination so I wander what do you look for? This year I already have my beauty so I am just curious. Thanks,
Jernej

I have one right now with extremely strong root growth.
I was wondering the same thing.

842 Eaton popped 12 hours before the 805 Pukos.
805 elongated to twice the length in only 6 hours.
805 Cots are now 3 times the size of the 842 & the third leaf is forming.

Will it matter? Probably not. Slow & steady wins the race sometimes.
