Johnnypotseed’s 3-ring circus - with autos, photos & sex…reversals, that is! (Part 2)

you can see the results/pics I posted there as well as here, and also hear from the many other OGers that’ve given it a go. It’s good for anything from one seed to hundreds lol

Sorry, can you run this by me…So you just lay the seeds on top of the worm castings? Do you cover them or just place in the dark?

Sometime I do a mini greenhouse type with a napkin and a lunchmeat container, in order to see the sprouts better, it also does not flatten them like a paper towel in a bag does.
They can then grow upwards.
But I think I like you method better than any of the other methods I have used.
I really do like it and it is very natural too.
I find it very interesting they just sprout right on the surface like that.
Very cool of you to share this info.

If I had some seeds that were super valuable I would surly use this method.
All the science and testimony show this is one of, if not he best way to sprout old seeds.

I learned something new today and I like it, thanks again! :sunglasses:

I just got done reading.
Short answer is, yep right on top, worm castings, covered by a dome with a heating pad, buffered underneath.
Placed in the dark or covered, no real difference there.

Really, to go into a bit more depth on the method I use. You’re giving the seed everything mother nature does…
first, when the seeds fall from the plant, do they bury themselves in the dirt or just lay there?
Next, when the situation is right, they pop! ie; warmth, fertile soil, water, and a bit of darkness to let em ‘wake up’
By 'fertile soil, I’m saying the WC are/do exactly that with full doses of important Mychorazae from the jump. As well as all the minerals and other nutrients involved in worm castings. Which is actually all dirt is…worm shit mostly, with ‘contributions’ from others lol
like many others, I used all kinds of methods, until one day I was getting high (all truly good ideas come from ‘stoners doin their thang’ lol) I thought about how to get better germ rates, and then thought ‘well, what do seeds need/like in nature’?
can yas see the lightbulb go off? lol

Long story short lol it works better than any of all the other methods I’ve tried in the many decades of growing! And you can believe it when I say I’ve tried a LOT of other methods! lol

All that made perfect sense to me. I know it works, and works well. I went through a few beans before you enlightened me bro.
Just think how many great seeds went to crap in the hands of beginners like me before we met you.

On this topic
I dropped these seeds yesterday morning, i took a pic this morning (just under 24hrs) and when I just went out to the barn, I checked em again. Here’s a pic of them taken a few minutes ago. Less than 48hrs in the WC and so much progress to see!
1st, pic taken yesterday when dropped

Thnx cuz lol nothing wrong with bud porn, but to me, this is where the actual ‘magic’ happens

It’s all downhill from here, ez/pz… lol nurture, grow, pollinate, harvest, smoke, nothing to it!

I will say that is magic. Yes. But what about the pollination? I see how much effort you put into that. Just the right this for that…
That’s some magic as well. The creation of the next gen.
Oh hell, it’s a magical plant period. lol

That part is as ez/pz as the rest cuz lol I left it out, thnx for pointing that one out! A very important part it is, too! lol

Also I agree completely as to it’s being a magical plant… period! lol
