            | Wimsomnia | Antwerp, Belgium | Hi all,
 A time ago, I read an article about seeds in general but also about the fact that some seeds need at least a bit of light to germinate, other seeds prefer the dark and others "don't care"...
 
 Question: do gourd seeds germinate better in the light?
 
 Thank for any reaction!!

            | BeeDub | Lake Oswego, OR | There may be data to support one technique over the other but I've been able to germinate them with and without light.  The key element is the heat. | 5/30/2020 12:25:16 PM |
