my problem is temperature changes from living in the dessert where we have 90 degree days and 63 degree nights, and all I have is a swamp cooler that kind of leaves bare to the outdoor temperatures. I definitely read your thread and I tried your method, but with coco coir tablets, I waited for my seeds to drop, and put them in the coco coir just like you like to go straight from shot glass in to you medium so did I. but I personally think that the is little mass to each pellet it gave much more shock to the seedlings. I went through a white rhino and a super lemon skunk. Out of frustration I went back to what I already was used too... I soak paper towels for a few hours, and then drain them out and then get them wet again, and fold them up in a sandwhich bag and then put my seeds in the bag ontop of the towel.. I then wait for it to sprout a 1/4 inch root then put it in soil.... I went real simple for germination but Im def going to do Super Soil for when I transpant. Right now i hav Uni-Grow organic balanced ph soil, and I personally think I am having luck,,, I reallyu think I messed up with your method cause I had a fan blowing in may veg cab, and it cooled the rootball down por something, whatever I failed. Next time I will you method but with the pellets in a pot... But I did make it rain on my seedling, and I really am seeing a difference, in just one day it poked though 3/8 of soil, and I can even see the tap root straight and strong pushing though: ) to early to tell but I'm hoping... I was talking to illumination about how raining so early could be like winter run-off soaking the ground and thus jumpstarting the seeds to sprout... ? just a athought?> thanks rme
