A lot of mine had "turtle" heads. I had to pinch the seed off and I killed 3 seedlings by doing this. Will see if they recover. I'm currently standing at 3 in decent shape, 3 in poor shape (i think the leaves are burning from the leds as they are so small) and 4-6 dead that might recover you never know. I have sowed 2 as a backup option just in case.
I only have room for 6 so things are looking like they have worked out perfectly.
The 3 I have overwintered are showing zero signs of coming back to life. The temp has been dropping in the house to 10-14C whilst I'm at work. As low as 5C when it was quite bad here.
So my plan for this year is to make a grow tent/box. I'm thinking wooden outside frame. Insulation. Then reflective sheeting. Shove a tiny heat mat inside and 3 lamps and hope the heat from the 3 x 10W lamps and the 5W heat mat is enough to keep the temps much higher. The lamps would be on a timer probably straight 12 on and 12 off for best results. would need to be light enough to remove to top up the water and feed in the chilligrows every weekend.
