Thanks Rusty & Stinky, that makes plenty of sense. (And I'm glad to know I can keep disregarding that nuclear waste dump in my backyard! :jointsmile

Also, I use a matchbox with a piece of emery board inside to scuff my beans...so there was no science behind that logic. Just something I had seen done before. But from here on out I'll make sure that if I'm going to keep doing it, I do it in the right place.

Thanks again for clearing that up.
Mr. Clandestine Reviewed by Mr. Clandestine on . Germination Freak I've got eight vegging plants, presumably of an AK-47/48 variety. I took cuttings from each plant and am in the process of sexing each of them. Two have shown themselves as being definite males, and have been removed. I started six more seeds from the same batch to replace the soon-to-be culled males. I scuff the seeds up slightly with an emery board and use the paper towel germination method. Three of the seeds I'm keeping in a drawer in my nightstand (which I normally do), and the other Rating: 5
