Sure thing you guys.
pics to come, hopefully I can focus the camera that well. I germinated mine on a windowsill with filtered light with the pot in a sealed ziplock baggie, the room is always 70 degrees.

After they began to germinate I opened the bag and put it under my grow lights.
I thought it would be interesting to see how all your seeds are doing all from everyone. Every different growing conditions , speed of growth and colors variety from everyone. Start the ball rolling when the germination starts or seed in the pot. Anything, its up to you :)

Unfortunately they should all be the same color, a pale green at best, but yes growth patterns might be different.

Hey David, the ones you gave me before germinated, unfortunately I killed them. :sad:

However, they had red dew-stalks, that is how I noticed them. :) They may be more colorful, we'll see.

Well katya that's pretty unusual coloring (but awesome)`I'm sorry to hear the other ones died. Though I'm not offended or anything, especially if you learned something. :D

A lot kills seedlings, did they accidentally dry out?

Honestly, I'm not sure. They need a lot of light, so perhaps a windowsill that got a lot of lightl.

Yeah they dried out. I was growing them on coarse (not chopped) LFS and it just dried the top out so fast with the van I have. This time I have them in a greenhouse setup on milled lfs and wet. I hope trhese live.

Next time I'd suggest only sowing a few seeds at a time. Maybe 1/2 to 1 packet at a time. Wait until they germinate or do nothing, and then try again.

Turns out about 8 people who signed up out of 20 still haven't sent Sases.

Sigh, if anyone wants another packet I'll open up 3 spots
