Well I scrapped my first attempt to germinate the seeds. I think I kept the too warm and moist. I say this because I planted when I saw the white tip...but after over a week...I dug them up only to find that they hadn't progressed at all, and one of the white tips had turned a dark color.

That said...I have retried, and things seem to be going much better. After talking to Mordok and Psycho4bud, I decided to try soaking my seeds in water with a little hydrogen peroxide for 48hrs. Then I put them in some Scotts Potting Soil for Seed Starting. These are the specs.

  • Fast-rooting formula of water-absorbing sphagnum peat moss and perlite, specifically designed to germinate and grow seeds
  • Also ideal for establishing root and stem cuttings
  • Phosphorous added for strong root development
  • Backed by Scotts No-Quibble Guarantee of complete satisfaction


I also added a little hydrogen peroxide when I watered them so that when they popped they would be greeted by oxygen. I waited a few days and watered again as the soil was getting dry. Today...I couldn't wait any longer to see if things were going successfully. So I carefully moved aside the dirt to see one of the seeds...and low and behold...there was a corkscrew shaped root going on...and the seed was halfway split.

That said...I think there is only a few more days before I'm seeing some baby's popping up!!! Wish me luck guys!!!! I can't wait to get this show on the road!
