The Cup Grow Off Official Banter Thread

[jipp]

im trying. we see what happens tomorrow. next time i think ill try the pinto bean method of germinating in a cup.. it cant hurt yeah..

Germination Tips
For fresh seed or old seeds, we use pinto bean juice. We first soak dried pinto beans in PH water for 24 hours and then strain off beans and use that water for germination. This adds natural nutrients and for old seeds this softens the shell covering making it easier for embryo to grow free. The older the seed the harder the shell.

i think im just gonna plant them .. and see what happens. they soaked long enough to weaken the hull. ( maybe not, hah them fuckerrs still rock hard even after 2 days, will let teh oens i started yesterday soak for 3 days then plant i guess.)

[Orcaman]

nothing here yet. sigh.. i have no luck with seeds it seems.. but they are from 2004 as it says on the package so we see what happens.

chris..

Gosh, The seed that I planted is seven years old and I'm positive that that she will germinate just fine with no soaking and direct planting. Plus proper seed storage is a big factor! My seed is in Royal Gold Tupur soil mix drenched with Mad Farmers B One supplement, plus Mammoth P microbes.
Royal Gold Tupur pronounced (two-per), was designed with the idea feeding your plant as much and often as possible. It is a blank slate to create your own high performance feeding regimen. As a coco fiber based soilless medium, it requires high levels of calcium and magnesium to unlock its true potential. With an astounding balance of oxygen and water holding capacities, Tupur can be watered up to 1-6 times a day! This makes it an ideal choice for automated watering systems, especially drip (drain to waste or recirculating), Ebb and Flow. Even deep water culture, and aquaponics thrive in this unique and versatile blend. Yet it still excels in hand watered container gardens, with organic OR conventional feeding programs.
