I harvested hundreds of Capensis seeds and sowed some immediately, and it has been 5 days and I've seen a spec of green, too small to photograph, could it have germinated this fast?

I do not think it is germinating that fast. You can usually see green from the seeds about two weeks at the earliest. I would keep checking on it though. If it is only 5 days in it is either the media around it or it is one of the most "fit" capensis seedlings I have ever dealt with!

Hmm, could be a bit of mold, it's tiny but If it does grow I might be very lucky, we shall see

It's probably just a bit of algae or a weed. I find that capensis seeds often germinate at the same time, so you'll probably see more that one green spec when they do.

Yes that is true. My capensis seeds germinated all at the same time. It took about 14 days for mine to germinate.

My drosera capensis alba germinated in 9 days.

Okay, its now 7 so I'll just have to wait

The waiting is always for me and my bro, distressing, much in the last days, when i expect the seeds to germinate...

ive never got any seeds to germinate, not even cress seeds, might just be me but im hoping that this would be a great start, they're in optimal conditions and should be germinating very soon
