Yes I can and thats exactly what I had to do...
I bought a nickle from her and asked her for all the seeds she could give me...she ended up giving me 15 more seeds. I immediately put them in a new paper towel and watered it with some tap water I had from before and about 2 days later they cracked and showed tips that were a decent length (probably about 2cm) so I figured I had a good start and wanted to do this another way. I went to the local garden store and picked up some of those Jiffy Cubes #7 and some Miracle gro moisture control potting mix which they had to get outta the cold so I figure Im gonna let it warm up to room temp, then Im gonna put inside of 1.5quart pots..it has a slow release fert inside it.
so far
$5 for da weed w/bag seeds
$4 for a CFL
$2.50 for peat pellets
$4.50 for the soil
$.070/ea for the 3 pots
and Im using tap water..I think I might change to using some thawed out snow bcuz its cheaper than tap water. once I get a job I'll get some larger pots and a larger light..but right now my seeds are still germinating in the mini greenhouse that came with the peat pellets...so I got a good 2-3 weeks before I need to transplant from the 1.5 quarts pots.
I'll keep everyone posted
