to austin first, i'll give you my technique, i have had an excellent success rate, but other go a slightly different route, so if you don't like my way, try another.

first, place 2 paper towels on a plate, and wet them down. place seeds on towels about 1 1/2 inch apart, cover with one paper towel. drain excess moisture.

put plate on top of your refridgerator, wait 24 hours and check, as the towels dry the seeds will pop. if towels dry completly, moisten again, wait 24 hours etc.

once seeds have popped, take tweezers, grab the seed by the husk (don't you crack that shell yet!!!) and place into soil with root tip facing down. seed husk should be flush with the top of the soil.

in 2 days, you should notice the shell sticking out of the soil on a little stem. take tweezers, GENTLY, GENTLY, GENTLY crack the husk if needed and pull of the seed shell. now your plant is germed and started.

get back to me and let me know how this works for you austin, any more posers i'll be glad to answer if i can. if not, seek out bluebear and garden knowm, my mentors and instructors.

to the knowm, key west is awesome (as long as you don't mind the public, lol) don't remember to much about my trip there though. most of my floridian memories lie in venice lots and lots and lots of frisbee. and many other things too.

to knowm and bear, i got some green light super bloom and green light rootbuilder.

when should i use root builder? one week after clones have rooted? two weeks?

when should i use the super bloom? wait until flowers show, or fert them now? this one is important, plants get watered tonite, so i need to know as soon as possible. otherwise i'll just water and wait 4 more days.

burnt clones are doing well now, they've gotten their colour back.
new clones are just so perdy!
4 rooted clones are like the governator of california, ah-nold. pahmped ahhp!

have to check on out door girl, i got home after dark.

well, see ya later!

love, brooke
