do you have a late flowering shot of #5, Chaco?
Basically, i put the seeds in clear cups and up against the side. I did not soak the seeds, I did not pay attention to the seed orientation, and I did not water the seeds (KOV's pics look a lot wetter than mine were).https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=24420
2. on the next day not much is happening, but you see that the root is not going anywhere up Yes, the force of Earth gravitation is at work and will always be.
3. Another day gone, everything as planned.
4. On a next day a notable occurence, since the tap root has travelled down well and established a good hold in soil, it now starts to push up, creating a little bend, that bend is very handy, it will push up through the soil, dragging behind it and thus protecting the delicate colytedons.
5. here we go, on a fifth day, tadaa, plant emerges. It's worth noting that because I buried the seed quite deep, the seed covers are left inside soil. If seed is buried shallow, it will still be having the covers on, when emerging.
6 days from seed to seedling, that's my usual score, without fancy soil mixes and much special care. Once again - tip down, tip up, sideways, doesn't matter, a seed is a seed.

^^ I liked that experiment..
