1 Day Germination

[3rrorist]

Equipment:
2x Rapid Rooter Tray + Plugs
2x Heat Mat
2x Humidity Dome
Heat Mat Thermostat
 
I double planted 100 Rapid Rooter plugs on 3/3/2014 (6:00 pm) when my seeds came in the mail from Seed Savers and Park Seed. On 3/4/2014, I went to look at the trays when I got home from work (5:30 pm) and saw that several cucumber seeds had already sprouted.
 
Everyone I've talked to keeps telling me this is impossible. Has anyone here ever experience this?
 
The seeds that sprouted:
Seed Savers - Holland White Cucumber
Park Seed - Sweet Success Hybrid
Park Seed - All-Season Burpless Hybrid

I have had tomato seeds sprout in under 24 hours on a heat mat, in a dome...

I wasn't expecting this good of a germination rate either. I put 2 seeds in each Rapid Rooter. I might try to take tweezers and take one of the seeds out and replant it.

I've had a few milder chilies show a root the same day - litterally single digit number of hours after I put them on paper. That's very unusual for me though. Tomatoes are generally the fastest thing I've dealt with. 1-2 days isn't unusual.

Last year my cucumbers sprouted that fast, tomatoes were only a day or so longer.

I've had germ in under 24hrs with lettuce and kale. Also with tomatoes after a 24hr soaking.
