Damn this is frustrating!
I've germinated seeds before, but that was quite a while ago, as I've jst been cloning. So I'm not a novice. If anything, I was TOO careful.
Can't quite remember exactly how I did it last time, but no problems. THIS time however, I'm 'O' fer 9! Here's what I did:
-Received seeds from BC SeedKing-God Bud, Da Purps, and Sweet Tooth. Fast, stealthy service. A+
-Using a papercupS, soaked 3 seeds apiece in 3 paper cups, with lid. Water was treated with 1 teaspoon bleach (for the lot, not each). Cups were covered and placed on top of TV.
-Within 24 hours, all seeds had cracked.
-Placed seeds about 1 inch down in a 'seedling' mix from the dollar store. (small bags for a $1, they actually had a big selection of 'specific' soils for Herb, flowering plants, vegetable, etc.) Mix was specified as 'garden soil' with the majority being peat moss. As peat moss is water shedding, I pre-soaked it. Also added perlite for drainability.
-Placed small containers, 1 seed per, under a humidity dome with a hole in top. Sprayed interior of dome daily. Soil stayed moist.
-Watched and waited for about 8 days. Nothing. Not 1. Unbelievable.
So, I dug up one of the seeds today. It looked exactly like I planted it 8 days ago. Cracked with no signs of further growth.
So, that's it. I'm hoping someone sees a glaring error (You fool! Peat moss? PEAT MOSS!?!) cause I'm clueless.
Thanks for your time.
