decanted and planted

some of the seeds i have extracted from the potato fruits over the past month have spent the past twenty-four hours soaking in gibberellic acid solution to break dormancy...in the meantime i took some vermiculite ( top photo ) and mixed it with some potting soil in clay pots and moistened it ( second and third photos )...at the end of those twenty-four hours i drew off the acid solution ( fourth and fifth photos ) and planted twelve seeds in each pot...then covered the seeds with a layer of vermiculite and watered them lightly with a spray bottle...now we wait to see what comes up...more as it arises.
