Here are the seedlings I have so far. Sorry for the poor image quality. Only have a camera on my phone:

I have a bout 11 or so more varieties that should sprout soon I hope.

To reduce the possibility of stem rot fungi, water your seedlings only in the morning, then set them in the direct sunlight so that the surface layer of the medium quickly dries. Stem rot, a frequent killer of young citrus seedlings, requires moisture to develop. Good luck with your plants. - Millet (295 BO-)

Mark, I don't know what you mean by seedling top die back. Stem rot attracts the young seedling's stem at the point where the stem meets the soil. This spot on the stem turns brow dies, then the entire seeding wilts and dies.- Millet

Thanks Millet. I am actually on a more nocturnal schedule at the moment. So everything gets watered in the afternoon instead of the morning. I will keep an eye on things though. I have gone digging and found a few moldy seeds This medium is very uneven in water retention it appears. I think I shall make my own in the future.

Good luck with them. I have found that most citrus grown from seed will fruit in 3-4 years. The exception in my case was the grapefruit which took 6. My times may be a bit quicker as my zone is 9a and we only get a few nights below freezing...

Keep them well fertilized & watered and they should do well for you. You do know Meyer will not come true from seed... I am also talking about in-ground trees.

I'll be growing in containers, inside except for summer. So I imagine it will take longer to get to fruit. But I am still quite young and have tons of patience.

There are a few varieties I won't ever get by seed, so learning to bud may be in the near future. Maybe I am vain, but the visual appeal of most grafts I do not like. Budding seems to be the least unattractive graft.

So deciding on and starting some rootstock is the next step.

I do ponder something. I understand not to prune back an immature citrus, as this will reduce the node count and all. But what about snipping a leaf bud at the tip of growth? Say if I want a bushier, stocky trunk/set of branches. This wouldn't be as drastic as pruning, and the multiple shoots that sprout would add more nodes right? Maybe a bad idea?

I just don't have a lot of space. So some citrus I want short, others taller. Mostly to maximize air space. And it might be a little while before I am settled down. I can't imagine moving big barrels of citrus

Yes, you are correct. Most seedling citrus first grow straight up like a bean stalk. What I do is top them at about 18" to 24". This causes the tree to flush out down below & makes a much nicer looking tree.

I found some seeds in Shasta Gold fruit. I doubt they will be true because of the Temple in it's background. The seeds look about like my lemon seeds did, which all came up mono embryonic. I'll plant them and see what happens anyways.

Instead of starting a new thread, I thought I'd keep to this one.

Right now my seedlings are under a light, which sits about 15 in. above the tip of the plants. I am wondering if this is too close? My potting mix seems to dry out almost in a day on the top half and then the bottom half of the pot stays moist. I only know this because my pots are clear.

I am thinking the roots are only in the top half at this point, and along with the light being too close might explain this uneven drying. This is all a problem because? you might ask. Well, the seedlings are a bit wilted and not really growing at all. Just kind of sitting here a bit droopy.

What do you think? I should increase the distance between the light and the seedlings so the top soil doesn't dry out so fast? This might give them more time to soak up the water/nutrients?
