My first sprout

My luck with seeds so far hasn't been too great. The stuff I usually have doesn't really ever have seeds in it, so it's been tough trying to find anything from a bag. And so far my attempts at buying from a vendor online are unsure, but hopefully it'll all work out.

Regardless, I've been trying my best to germinate any little thing that looks like it may be a seed. I did have some mild success in pulling out an immature seed, that didn't even look like a seed, and managed to get it to swell up a big and change color and look like a seed, but it never grew. However one day when I was checking on my germination attempts, I noticed something stuck to one of the paper towels I was using. It looked like a germinated seed, with a white sprout coming right out of it! It was sort of small though.

Looking closer I could tell it was a tomato seed, which must have gotten stuck onto the paper towel from my table when preparing things, and I must have missed that seed when cleaning up after cutting tomatoes. It's not much, and it's certainly not the prize I was after, and the quest for cannabis seeds is still underway. But I planted it, and it grew, and I now have a lovely little sprout in a pot on my windowsill. It still means something to me that I was able to grow this little thing, even by accident.

Hi Skunkt and welcome to IC

That growing stuff can be addictive, be careful and make sure no one comes to steal your 'tmaters.':biggrin: jpt

Thanks! Hopefully my actual growing project will be just as rewarding. Once that begins I'll probably be spending a lot more time here to grab some help :D
