seed arrived...planted

Greetings, My order from Adenium Center arrived, a packet of 100 mixed Adenium obesum seeds. First, let me tell you of my growing conditions. I grow in the basement in a grow room I built about 13 years ago. It is lit with a 1000W MH HID light. This time of the year the light is on 14 hours a day, also a fan runs 24/7. At this time of the year my night time temps are 70-72F and in the daytime they run 80-82F.


Now for the planting, (6-30-2016).

4 pots 2:1 potting mix/grit (local garden centers own label), covered seed tray on a heating mat.

4 pots 2:1 coconut coir (not coco peat), covered seed tray on a heating mat.

4 pots 2:1 mushroom compost/grit, covered seed tray on a heating mat.

My grit is 1:1 pumice/cherrystone#2 (chicken grit).

1 compot stratght vermiculite, covered seed tray on a heating mat.

1 compot straight coconut coir, covered seed tray on a heating mat.

1 compot straight coconut coir, covered, (placed on bench-ambient temperature).

1 compot straight coconut coir, outside on the deck.

The seed was soaked 3-4 hours and the seed was covered with vermiculite ( one-eighth inch).

I have attached a photo of the set-up. I will keep you up- to-date of the progress.


Joe
