@Heisenbeans are paypal holding the money sent using the 'Friend/Family' option?
No
I got one bridezilla to survive. Hopefully it will impress.
If not, I probably won't run the other tester packs for a while.

As far as my germination process goes, I recently sprouted a bunch of Cindy99 seeds for my outdoor crop and they are all doing just fine.
Just like the seeds I sprouted *before* bridezilla.
Zero problems.

In other words, it probably wasn't my fault that most of the bridezilla seeds wouldn't germinate.
Just sayin'... :rolleyes:

You must have been extremely unlucky

I thought you said I got the scabs since they were freebies.
First batch or something like that?

It's cool man. I don't want anything, but it's obvious that my process isn't flawed.
I had zero problems before trying to sprout my pack of BrideZilla and I've had zero problems since.

Nothing has changed.
I tested that first batch and got about 80 percent. It was only about 30 seeds I pulled and than gave the rest another week before I pulled em. Not sure what happened. Might have had something to do with them big peat pellets as I saw the rest you had in smaller root riots. Sent you some more yesterday

PEOPLE STOP WASTING HEISENBEANS. Fold them in a wet paper towel and put it in a zip lock, place this on your latop charger or heat mat, whatever you use. if its too hot put a towel in between. you can roll them around a little on some sand paper before putting in paper towel if you really want to BUT most/all should pop in 24hrs. If no tail after after 2 days then crack the shell VERY VERY lightly with pliers and put them back in the paper towel.

Yeah I thought of that, so I sprouted the cindys in peat, rapid rooters, and little cups of fancy stuff called "no damp off".
All three did fine.
(I've also had good luck with rock wool but didn't use it for this test.)

Maybe I had some contaminated equipment during the problem time???
It is possible since I lost a whole tray of lupine and dianthus to damping off around the same time.
Pretty sure that was a batch of soil that hadn't cooked long enough.

Anyhoo...

I am blown away that you sent me another pack!
Seriously.
It was a freebie and I wouldn't complain if you gave me leftovers off your floor.
I only mentioned this because it's important to be honest.
At first I was pretty sure the problem was on my end, but now I'm not sure.

Just wanted to give you a heads up and see if anyone else had issues.

It's an odd thing but "fresh" seeds often won't sprout or will give problems that "older" seeds will not, (not years old, but months old seeds are the easiest to germinate). They are not fully viable until they have completely dried and they don't lose that moisture until after they have left the bud or the bud has itself dried completely. Also when you get fewer seeds on a plant, (like thirty) they often get thicker and that can make them harder to sprout using "normal" sprouting measures. So what works great to sprout most seeds can often fail when sprouting super fresh seeds or seeds that have a thicker hide.

When I create seeds, I wait at least two months to sprout them and if they are the extra large seeds, that you often get when there are fewer seeds, I'll scratch them up and soak them in water for a couple days until they sink and then put them in paper towels.

Trying to sprout "fresh" seeds, especially ones that came off a plant with few seeds, directly to a growing medium can be problematic. Trying to grow any seed before it has a chance to completely and fully dry will either lead to complete failure or a plant that doesn't get off to as good a start as it should.

PICK YOUR OWN
Ghost bastards are going along just fine. I'm trying to decide if i wanna just flip em now or actually veg em out. The flower tent is all smaller plants right now anyway but i feel like it's kind of a waste. I'm just running out of weed and really impatient to see these bitches flower lol.View attachment 4260View attachment 4261
I'd veg them out more if it was me. But it's your call because you know how much space you have.
