It is day three of germinating Albizia julibrissi seeds, and we have sprouts!
Of the ten seeds, seven of them have begun to sprout, including the one I had accidentally injured.
Here is today's photo journal:
As shown in a couple of the photos, I had taken baggies C and S+C (clipped and scarified + clipped) and held them in my hands to take a closer look at them. While I had washed my hands just a few minutes before, I also may or may not have been rushing a bit for work and munching on avocado toast opening the sprouts up to breadcrumb contamination, so those two bags were rinsed and the paper towel changed.
While there isn't a very large sample size, the five originally scarified seeds seem to be doing better or growing faster compared to the five that were not as a collective. The exception would be the big one paced in the center of the baggie, which was notably softer than the others part-way through the pre-germination soaking process.
It was recommended to transfer the seeds after they have developed roots 2cm long so that may be the next benchmark for part 3.
