First pumpkin popped, took 7 days from sanding the seed. Could I do it faster? Definitely. If I keep the soil warmer instead of going from paper towel to room temp, if I adjust moisture in baggies, if I soak the seeds, I'm sure it would be faster than 7 days.
But I frankly don't care, the extra 2 days, doesn't matter to me. Unless it improved my germination rate, but I get 90% most years, so doesn't matter too much to me.
