<p>Yeah, I'm not a huge fan either (I dig the stuff, but as far as I'm concerned...a little goes a looong way). The missus on the other hand just loves the stuff...</p>
<p>How tall, and how many true leaves form before they yellow and die Bob?</p>

<p>Have had no luck with Cilantro. My wife has accused me of sabotage because I am not a big fan, I just like it in salsa. I have tried 3 times now and they start to grow and turn yellow and die? Any tips?</p>

<p>Hey Joe...</p>
<p>I've been using cilantro seeds from Johnny's Selected Seeds, a variety called 'Santo' (LOT# 36369 from 2011), and they've been germinating at real well (over 90%) in just hydroton. (Producing real well all winter long too). No pre-soak or breaking them up or anything...Thanks for the tips though :)</p>

<p>I have had trouble with cilantro and celery.</p>
<p>I was using whole cilantro seeds then I switched and use the seeds after I break them up or they are in 1/2. Pre-soaking cilantro works okay too. I grow micro greens and they give me a hard time. I have tried them in burlap, small cinders and potting soil and small cinders has worked the best for me so far with potting soil next. I have found that they need 2 weeks or more.</p>
<p>Celery was the same It took 3 weeks to get it to germinate.…</p>

<p>Celery was the same It took 3 weeks to get it to germinate. I was using a seed called Utah 47 I think and never got it to germinate. Then I switched to a Chinese celery and it germinates on burlap and cinders but takes 3 weeks.</p>
<p>I keep them dark, humid and warm.</p>

<p>Sorry if that came off as snobbish, I wasn't correcting you out of some strange desire to be right. I don't usually nitpick about details and words, but I thought since that this is a soil-less growing forum, that was something that should be pointed out. Hopefully my reason for saying anything was interpreted correctly. Since I can't see your face or hear your voice and you can't mine, I just thought I'd specify that.<br></br> <br></br> <cite>Pat James said:…</cite></p>

<p>Yeah, it's soil...sorta.<a rel="nofollow" style="cursor: pointer;"><img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Smile.gif"/> One of the guys on my main gardening blog likes to say "Soil is what you grow in...dirt is what you knock off your boots"<br/></a></p>
