Welcome to my diary! I'm not a first time grower, but I'm certainly a novice. I have made a lot of mistakes with my previous grows so hopefully this time things go smoothly.
Germination is done between 2 wet paper towels placed between 2 plates, wrapped with plastic wrap to help keep the moisture in, and placed on a seed warmer set to 30c. Some nights are getting close to freezing here, and Ive found in the past temperature greatly effects germination speed.
