Out of 328 seeds
63 are darker and still have their shiny coat
Roughly 130 are matte brown
About 130 are tan/grey
I went ahead and dropped the matte brown and tan seeds in a super secret solution (rhizotonic and our finest water) to give them a head start.

why do you leave darker ones aside fella…?.could you explain reasoning if so kind…

The idea is that dark shiny ones have a better chance to germinate and grow normally, while the paler ones have a high possibility to be quite slow at first if they germinate at all, due to being less mature seeds and having their resources long depleted because of their age.
I’m giving pale ones a head start to maybe level the playing field.

So cool to see this. Settled in for the show.
You ever use Irish spring for a deer repellent?

Helps but mice will still come around it in my camper.
I have heard human hair works pretty well for a while.
@Mithridate
Are you using osmocote for the food?

Moth balls for the mice. Do a perimeter around the patch.
Small piece of Irish spring on a stick in line with the growing tip. Deer lean down to eat and smell Irish spring.

Yes, it’s a 2 part osmocote. Veg and bloom. I have no idea what’s the npk, it comes in 50lbs unmarked bags

By the time I plant, deers have plenty to eat around here, they mostly leave pot alone.
Slugs could show their presence, some years are worse than others… usually they are pretty chill and dont wreck havoc so i let them be. I’m thinking i might try companion planting…

Sticky strips on stalk about 1 ft up the stalk will keep slugs off and others too
