The Ethos MC cracked and germinated very well. 5 for 5 is pretty good. Right out of the gate when they are in solo cups they take hold quiet well. The DC is a bit different. It's always been a finicky strain. I'm going to feed it alone study stalk since the stack structure can be weak. It's also old seed as well. Of the 7 I soaked about 6 popped and 4 took hold in solo cups. Not bad but not great either.
