The Mephisto Way
4 pieces of Costco TP - Sprayed - Added seed, folded and sprayed some more - Added to DVD case - Wrapped both in a towel and top of the closet.
24 hours and no germination. :(
36 hours later we have a root. As with a first grow I got anxious and now they are in the soil. Let’s hope I don’t kill these ones like I did all the outdoors.
Planted 1 knuckle down in soil. Lightly water with ph6.2 water. Temp 20.5/ Hum 46%.
