Whoa! I got behind on my seed starting so took my bitter gourd and snake gourd seeds into work and popped them in the 37C over the weekend after an overnight soak.
Snake gourds all have 1inch roots, going to take them home and pot them. The Indian bitter gourdes ~50% have 0.5-1cm roots, probably going to take them home. The chinese bitter gourdes have done nothing, they get another day or two.

To sprout them, I rolled them in a damp paper towels oriented with the root end down and set the roll upright in the incubator. Normally I lay them flat. I'm wondering if the correct gravitropism helped.
