Update 2
I posted a few days ago on this subreddit, wondering if the seeds would germinate. Well, they did! After the 3-week mark, I plan to transfer these seedlings into fabric pots to continue their growth. I’ll also cut down the male plants to prevent pollination. I’m going to grow them outdoors. Now that they’ve sprouted, I’ll follow up next week to update you on their progress.
I know you can’t see the lamp in the picture, but it actually fell onto the cups the first day. Surprisingly, all the cups remained upright, and there was no damage to the seeds. (Check my first post for a picture of the poor light setup.) As you all suggested, I’ve moved the light closer and am now taping it much more frequently. I notice that the adhesive loses its stickiness after a day of sticking to the wall. Also, I see that the seeds are on top of the stems and appear to be falling off. I’ll post an update next week.
