This will be a waste of a Diary entry with no pics but I have yet again sprouted a 178 seed and put it into the Pumpkin Bong
to see if I/it can break the 27.5-inch record thus far. It had been sprouted in a ZipLoc bag as part of a 'No-Air or Not No-Air'
experiment to see if 2 seeds would sprout sooner if all the air was SQUEEZED out of one of the ZipLocs. Inconclusive, as I used
gallon-sized (stupid) bags at first 'cause that's al that I had, lol. I have done this experiment before and I am convinced that a
relatively AIRLESS environment is more conducive to seeds sprouting quicker than a usual, inconsiderate-of-air-volume
proseeding, lol.

SO - the PB contestant is already at 1/3 the required distance and it is in record time at doing so.

PS---the seeds in the air expairiment were in the ZipLocs for a week
(moist paper towel, 2 seeds each)
to 10 days before I even moved them to the living room
where they got a TASTE of any warmth (70-74, intermittently)
then - BOOM!!! Growth!!!
They may have been gonna sprout in another day, butt, still...eg
