Not really markings...just darker around the veins. They are quite shiny, except for the big guy. Keep the snow up there, please! We are expecting rain, but it could be a mix tonight.

This weeks pics of Filagree seedlings.........

Yes, please. I would like to know what the real differences are. Where do you get MH? Thanks for your time and patience with me!

About 18" deep...adjustable height.

I have a wire bakers shelf. Each shelf has 2 shop lights (2 bulbs each, 40 watt plant/aquarium bulbs.) They run nearly 24/7.

I am growing my seedlings under plant/aquarium lights. I have seen mention here of other types of lights. Can you give me some detail? I am really loving this seed growing, talk of hybridizing.

I like using this method when I am trying to keep a close eye on results. That way I can tell just how many seeds germinated, and when. Now the fun begins! ...

My first plantings (October) were Swoosh and Neat Splash. Both germinated well. The Neat Splash have mostly streaked, nice markings. The Swoosh are about half streaked. The Breeders Bed seedling seeds I got from the exchange only had about 40% germination, but they are my favorites! Highly cupped, a...
