Okay, first report.

In the order shown in the pictures below:

PL1 (05-59) - 5 seeds started - three germinated normally
PL6 (05-69) - 5 seeds started - two germinated - one abnormally (stump)
RL4 (05-73) - 5 seeds started - four germinated normally.

Growing medium is MG seed starter mix. Ambient temperature in the room was 73 F. Tray temperature was allowed to stabilize 48 hours before seeds introduced to the mix. All water is at room temp and outgases for 24 hours before put in with plants to reduce chlorine problems. Lights are on for 19 hours and off for 5. No other light available in the location.

While the PL1 and RL4 seedlings came up readily, the PL6 seemed to struggle and were notibly less vigorous.

Am starting another 10 seeds each of the two Potato leaf types and another 5 of the Regular Leaf tomorrow.

More next time.
