CDBACBCFSOTBW ...yeah, it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but we'll figure something out!
Yeah, I like it- I used it for a year or so, but then couldn't get any so I went with FFOF.
I'm not a big fan of FFOF, but I have to admit, my plant did alright in it.
But back to ProMix for the next few grows...actually, quite a few grows, since I bought a big ol' bale of it
this time...
Thank You, candy!
The first one already sprouted- unfortunately, it sprouted upside down...I turned it over, but the tip of the taproot was dried up a little, so I don't think I'm going to see that one again...
The SoCal seed fairy is a wise man...he sent two seeds, because he figured I might kill the first one..
and he figured right...
I dropped the second one in to soak at 9:00 this morning, and it's already got a little tail poking out, so it'll go into the dirt this evening sometime...
The highlighted letter is incorrect, Mr.C.
That's the only reason it didn't roll off your tongue.

Yes...that one letter is definitely the problem ...

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Nev!
But....here's what I'm looking at right now- I don't like what's going on here....
This is the second GSC seed, which I planted a little deeper than the first one.
The first one came up root first, and didn't survive being turned over...
If this one still looks the same this evening, I'll carefully dig around in there to see If I can set her straight...
On the plus side, I haven't killed this one...
...yet
Cover it with more soil and don't touch it?

Ahhh, but the weirdness continues....although now it's looking more promising...
I did cover that root with some soil after I saw this:

I'm with you, I'd go on a rescue mission, but delicately. And maybe cover the root with more soil as Shed suggested.

I probably don't have to now...unless that root is from the one I thought was dead....I don't think it is, though.
Ha! It does look like she had a little trouble figuring out which way is "up"
What a goofy germinator Carcass.Looks like she may have it figured out and will be one of those special ones for your books.
So I’m going to be celebrating in preparation for the birthday party.
I hope she makes it, even though she won't be centered in the cup. 
Centering is overrated! I'd mound more dirt just over the root and leave the top uncovered.
Plus, if you're going to LST her (and we're all assuming it's a her) it's probably better that it not be centered. I think that's what it's asking for. Ask Shed to send you a rock, though. It has to be a certain size and shape to work properly I'm told.

Seems like it's always something....I gave the cotyledons 24 hours to open, and they're not doing it, so it's time for an intervention...no membrane, they're just not opening- and they won't stay open if I spread them apart, so I need to figure some way to hold them open till they stay that way on their own...
Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, doesn't it?
I actually forgot to center the Gorilla Glue awhile back, she was about 2" off center...doesn't really hurt anything, just looks kinda dorky...

That she is! Definitely took the long way around!
If I don't bust off a cotyledon trying to open them up, she should do fine...
That's what I did... hopefully, we don't see that root again...
Thanks, Azimuth- I'll be doing a quadline with her, so, if I remember, I'll center her in the big pot at transplant.

My Mango Sherbert started life with her root similarly growing out of the soil before being re-planted the right way up, and then when she broke soil again, her membrane was trapping her cotyledons. Once I freed those I had to 'open' them manually and used a piece of stalk across them to keep them open, I actually had to do this for about 3 days until she got underway as a mutant for several weeks before turning into the full budded girl she is now. So if nothing else, perhaps jury rig up something to open out her cotyledons if she won't do it herself. Other than that she looks good!Seems like it's always something....I gave the cotyledons 24 hours to open, and they're not doing it, so it's time for an intervention...no membrane, they're just not opening- and they won't stay open if I spread them apart, so I need to figure some way to hold them open till they stay that way on their own...

If you haven't split them yet you could leave them alone and see if the 1st set of leaves can push them apart.
