Germination Successful!!!

Finally, I'm starting to see some green in the flasks. The 2 commercial medias seem to be leading the charge so far. No big surprise really. Its very possible that the cornstarch media is germinating as well too but due to the color of the media (light blue) and the color of the seed naturally (light yellow) it has always kinda had a greenish hint in the cornstarch media so I'm waiting for them to swell a bit more before I say for sure. One flask that did germinate was sown on a previously contaminated empty flask that was wiped with a lysol wipe. Unfortunately earlier this week it appears that the contamination has returned, so if it starts to spread too quickly I will be replating (see pic).
