Growing from Seed

low acid tomato seeds

13 years ago

This is probably a silly question. Do low acid tomato seeds take longer to germinate then regular tomato seeds? I've planted 4 kinds of tomatoes and 3 are up, however, the Jetstar low acid have not sprouted. They are all in the same growing medium and environment. Thank you for your help.

I don't find anything to make me think they would take longer to germinate - have you found any sprouting in the last three days?

Hi, thank you for your response. They have finally started sprouting. Seems to have taken 2-3 days longer then the rest of the ones. Not sure why, everything is the same. It's the first time I've tried them. Maybe it was the seed itself.
