Hey all,
So recently I've germinated 3 seeds. Shot glass/paper towel method. Tap roots weren't huge but I was excited and planted them in peat pellets soon as I saw the tap root. It's been 7 days and no sign of life from peat pellets. I started 3 new ones just in case but just now I decided to lightly remove the top of the peat pellet soil with a toothpick.
All 3 have long tap roots but I've realized that I planted them really deep. 1 of them in particular is growing all weird. It looks like the tap root started to grow down then turned and started to grow up. It's literally right below breaking ground. One of the others is still really far from the surface. Half inch maybe a little less? But I can see the husk and a healthy looking tap root beneath it.
Should I just leave all three of these go and hope all goes well or is there anything I should do to help these ladies?
