Drop em in shot glass of water in dark spot overnight, next day i to moist paper towel between to small plates mept in dark warm area let sit for cple days give it a spray every now an then. Normally have taproot within 24 to 48 hours
I’ve only sprouted seeds once.
I put 4 in a glass of water in the dark under kitchen sink. Forgot about them for about 2-3 days and when I checked 3 had little tails and one never did. I don’t think it can get easier than that.

Anyone here able to steer me in the right direction, for an effective preventative spray or drench for botrytis?
One with no waiting period and org/eco.

What I can find so far-
"Serenade Garden", but no Australian store seems to be selling it, or anyone who will ship it over, even Amazon / Ebay.
"ecoprotector", seems to be wholesale only and 20L minimum size.
There's potassium bicarbonate from the hardware. Though i don't think it'll be effective for BT, it certainly doesn't say so.

Gets me every year and i'd like to knock it back a little.
Any advice is much appreciated, thanks.
I can’t rememeber off the top of my head but I’m pretty sure @curious2garden has mentioned an effective preventative type spray for rot/mould.

When you've been building soils for as long as you have you begin to understand what effect each input has on the finished product.
There are some ferts like Bio Diesel (Guano) and Terpinator that give a certain taste to bud that's grown with it, not necessarily a bad taste and not the taste of the fertiliser but if you sample 5 different strains all grown using one of those products you can notice a common taste between them all. I'm not exactly sure but I think the cause is that certain elements will push production of certain terps harder than others resulting in those terps overpowering the others.
This has nothing to do with the colour of the fertiliser itself and if anything properly done soil grown organic bud has a much broader depth of flavour than bud grown with salt based hydro mixes.
Very well said
Its pretty easy to separate my weed from others around me purely on a certain smell or taste due to the soil mix over the years

Wow, some awesome looking plants from you lads... :weed: something just so beautiful about the plant outdoors in the sun.

It really sucks that's not an option for me... I'm a suburb dweller... not a single area in my back yard that can't be seen from the upper floors of neighboring houses.
I'd still do indoor I think but just wish I could try it as nature intended as well. ;)

Currently up to my elbows in trimming. :cuss:
