Jake ~ After our failure with germinating the bagseed using the paper towel on a plate under a bowl method we went back to just planting the seeds directly into Jiffy cubes and waiting.

I don't think it is a problem with the seeds. I had read somewhere that the seeds should be planted "point down". Afterword, I saw the info on your log that seems to contradict that. I also think we had the seeds too deep and with the combintion they just didn't have the energy to break ground. We planted 4 of each.

This time we're still using the Jiffy cubes and planting directly into the cube without any sort of pre-germination. But, this time we planted them shallower and either on their sides or with the bigger side down. Although, I didn't mark them as to which are on their sides and so forth. We also loosened up the soil in the cube a bit more than we have in the past.

We haven't disected the cubes from the last try to see how many popped as we are still hoping that some may pop up............... eventually. On the first grow we did have some really late poppers.

All the more reason that I wish we had the room to keep a mother or two and do some cloning. But, we don't have the room and still have to be able to tear everything down when the holidays roll around.
