Started these off soaking in water for about 18 hours and already had seeds pop open. I went with the old paper towel germination on top of a heating pad. Placed seeds into Pete pellets straight into the 5 gal pots. Put these right into my auto tent with a few others. Left the moist paper towel on top of the planted seeds in a cupped shape for shade and moisture. Uncovered a day later to find these :) very quick starters I’d say.
I ended up using a soil blend of what I had left over from previous grows ,a mixture of Foxfarm ocean forest/Happy frog blends and a bag of kryptonite soil as I like how airy it is :)
