Hello Jasper 2478
I am curious to learn how you popped your magic beans. Did you use the paper towel method or some other way?
The prices have skyrocketed at bcseeds. Have you noticed? It's the spring prices that seem to be when prices are the highest. The best sale year round seems to be during the X mas holidays. Glad I bought my Elephant Outdoors and the feminized Upstate during that sale.
Seems like your 'regular elephant' is starting to go into bud. How much soil is in each bucket do you think?
Wishing you great success.

i just got my seeds from bc seeds a couple weeks ago...
|the elephants are such good dna...
12/12 popped and were over an inch long by the 3rd day.
i think 3 days in the wet paper towel is the magic number...
i think they were ready at 2!
another strain was rocking as well, i think it was sweet tooth.
but yeah, paper towel.
So far, ive had 100% germ rate with the elephants, and near that with their other strains.
I take a paper towel, fold it in half 2 times. Wet it, fold it in half again, put it between my palms and squeeze extra water, and then unfold it once, put the seeds in, fold it back again, and put it in a ziplock, and i have a panda wrap pouch i made that folds up and keeps the light out.
I put a thermometer on top of that.
I keep them in my grow room so they stay warm.
Also, this round of seeds was definately frozen as they sat in my mailbox for a day.
No problems at all there either, i let them warm up for 3 days before i put them in the paper towels.
hope this helps

i had poor germ rate with the paper towel before as bcseeds claims their stocks reall fresh and just leave in water till they crack i then put in rock wool and under a dome and heat mat...Since then ive had 98% success rate.i have them in 10 gallon bags with at least 3/4 full...

Hi Sherriberry:
Thanks for your reply to my question. I gave a babie maker 5 of my elephant outdoors and they didn't pop for him/her. He/she didn't do the paper towel method though. I'm not sure what he/she did.
But I have 15 Elephant Outdoors left so I'm going to try the paper towel method. They're soaking in a damp paper towel now in a zip lock like you suggested.
Thanks for letting me know that 3 days was the magic number.
Have a good day!

Thanks for your reply Jasper 2478 about the bean sprouting. I don't have any type of lights at all. So I have no choice but to try the paper towel method. Thanks also for letting me know how much soil your using. Is it just soil or did you mix up a bunch of stuff? Oh, don't forget to use the back-strap molasses. The person at bc seeds says you're supposed to use it on the elephant strains.

Thanks guys for the tips. The clear glass bottle and the peroxide in water as well as the cup of water til they crack open are things I'll try if the paper towel method doesn't work for me. It'll be day three in 2 more days and I'll pull them out of the cupboard and have a look. I have 40 KMAK 47 as well and it sounds like they're a pain in the ass. My baby maker was also given regular elephant. 4/5 popped so that's good. If I can't get my elephant outdoors to grow, then at least I'll have females of regular elephant to plant outdoors. My baby maker also has the master kush going and that popped too. Then as a Plan C, I also have the feminized Upstate for outdoors.
By the way, after this thread is completed, you guys are all welcome to my threat which I will start as the summer comes on. I hope to do a thread about elephant outdoors and maybe Upstate. We'll see what pops. So come back and search for elephant outdoors when the summer comes. Your friendly comments are most welcome.

I definitely raised an eyebrow when I saw the prices at bc seeds a few days ago. It's pre-spring prices. The person working there warned us that they'd be going up. That's quite a price though for regular elephant at $995 for ten seeds and $895 for ten elephant outdoors. But at least we know when the best time to buy is now. During the X mas sale time.
I definitely want to find out if the claim of massive poundage from th elephant outdoors is in fact true. We won't know until the summer finishes though. I'm looking forward to the journey.
