Protocol

Difficulty High Rated by us, not by the source.

  1. Sow and cover

    Temperature: 70°F 21°C Light: dark

No stated waiting before sowing. Then 28 days to germinate.

5% germination in 28 days.

The seed had poor viability, so Deno does not regard this result as conclusive. Light and GA-3 made little difference.
