I began germinating 4 seeds late last night before I went to sleep. I just checked on them and 3 of the 4 are already showing a taproot. It has only been about 10 hours!! Is this common?
I soaked paper towels after folding them up, then put the seeds in and put the soaked papertowel insided a closed dvd case. I then put the dvd cases in a closet on top of heating pad that is giving off low heat and threw a blanket over them. I checked several times before I went to sleep and it seemed like it was giving off just the right amount of heat. This heating pad doesn't really get that hot (its not even useful as a heating pad imo).
This is the first time I've tried this method. 2 of the seeds were the colored ones from GHS company (both are showing a tap root just slightly cracking through). They will probably all be ready to put in my perlite, light warrior and ocean forest mix by tonight.
