Thank you, do you have any idea why Mr Brown is brown in colour?
The only reasons I could think of:
1. The seedling is drying up.
2. Genetic mutation during development.
3. It's turning red.
4. It is stained by the media.

Thank you TS 1989, i dont think its drying up as its in the same pot as the other 7 seedlings. Im hoping its turning red or mutated though :)

Mr brown is gone. All vft seeds when germinate has been very green like lime as far as I've been observing.

The seeds are doing well :)
