Good luck with your experiment. Hopefully it will give some clues.
I'd guess with M.sikkimensis the temps would be the most important factor. They seem to almost need to come down below room temps for their daily "cool" period. The ones I have tried in colder rooms seemed to work the best for germinating. I'm thinking M.sikkimensis may need a 30F daily temp swing, but right now it's only a theory.
