Here is the first indication of 27 TaiTri seeds beginning to germinate on day 6 inside a repurposed poultry egg incubator. The auxiliary thermostat is set at 86 deg. F., the seeds were disinfected and the seed coats were removed prior to planting. Disinfection and seed coat removal decrease the likelihood of there being albino seedlings.I wouldn't expect such treatment to reduce percent albinos. I think the albinos are due to genetics. Am I wrong? I know that with Sorghum and Phasiiolus, where I was keeping seeds from each plant seperate in each generatioin, some of the siblings of albinos gave albinos. I followed this for 5 generations, just out of curiosity.I know that this might not be true of citrus. I have had to adjust my expectations every time I've changed crops.
and placed them out in the sun for several hours this week. This helps toughen them up as well as green up the foliage.
