my opinion on paper towel method

good point. i would do it in rooting cubes under my dome...

I learned about the paper towel method in fifth grade and have been using it ever since..

never once said that it wasnt a good method i was just saying personal preference would be to not use it now that i see what can happen.

I sure did! cigs, pot, sex.

I'll have to try it. 1 in a towel and 1 in soil. Growing used to be simpler for me. Then this site happened. Damnit! Lol
