Ok, so i've germinated the seeds. I'm only doing two plants for now. I will germinate another two in four weeks time.
I'm calling them No1 & No2.
I popped them in damp tissue and they are going into peat plugs when they show some root.
No1 showed root a few days later on the wednesday, No2 showed root about 36 hours later. (They went into tissue on a Saturday).
I put both of them in the Jiffy plugs and made little greenhouses for them with clear plastic cups. I keep them on the window ledge in a south facing room.
No2 did not shed it's seed husk properly and has a damaged seed leaf - about a third of it has died back.
The next time I will scarify the seeds with sandpaper and soak them in water before planting. I've read that lowryder can have tough seeds.
I should say that in real time I am on day 26 of my grow. This is being written from my diary.
