HothandsG I popped them sandwiched between two sterile medical cotton pads and sprayed them with distilled water with 1ml/g of cal-mag from Athena nutrients. I didn't realize these seeds were F2 until they arrived, let's hope they're as good as the F1 batch! I will be growing in my own custom soilless mix I'll add to the next entry, via an automatic drip system using Athena Nutrients Pro line.
