This is my first BF seed and first time I'm trying living soil. I used Gaia Green Organics All-purpose, coco, sphagnum peat, perlite, worm castings, marine compost, peletized lime, chicken manure, and some kelp to make the soil and it sat for about 2 weeks.
For the GZ germination I did 24h in water, then paper towel for ~48h, then into the soil. For the kosher cake seed I tried 24 hours in water and then right into the soil.
