Part or stow or fly or SOMEBODY linked this a while ago. When I changed phones I made sure to email it to myself for a bookmark

Good start
Thank you! I was hoping someone could eventually point me in the right direction in regards to fermentation. It's on my checklist of ideas to explore.

How do you guys feel about the hugelkultur method of gardening? It's one of the ideas I'm going to use a lot as I have almost unlimited access to fallen and rotting trees/wood.

Happy Holidays my brother, and to all my other brothers and sisters here.
Good Choice by the way...
I thought of you the other day when I was gonna get the Tree of Life. Bitches sold out though...
But I can't complain, this is what I went with instead.
Haven't been this excited for a seed purchase ever
All those seeds popped after less than 14 hrs in water, and they are now at their second set of true leaves, under my teeny tiny cloner light, just now ready for transplant, I have them in toilet paper rolls (I love that method)
Ive been hearing about Bodhi since I joined this forum. And yes the pics are insane. Where does a fellow weedist source their Bodhi seeds? how was shipping? Im waiting to get some sin city seeds atm or rare dankness.
I soaked my first seed in ful power solution 24hours then planted. Tried just planting em and the ful power soak definitely sped up the sprout time.... however, very odd, they are growing at the same pace.
Weird but there are variables. Dif mix slightlyy, and dif things added and foliared and what not.

Has anyone tried soaking in plain h20 vs ful power dilution?

yo everybody. I picked up some organic yellow popcorn seed from sprouts market for $1.29 a pound. It did sprout. Took.4 days to sprout. Its half the price of build a soil.
Hell yeah! Always source local first!

I'm curious if anyone has ordered this from BAS? I can tell you one thing, you're not going to fit five pounds of barley seed in a usps small flat rate box. Make sure you're getting what you pay for from these guys.

I know a few people that have. I dont think the weighed it.

at the market the corn seed is in a bin. You fill up a bag and weigh it yourself like veggies.

I haven't ordered any seeds for sprouting from them, but I did order ten cups of vermicompost that had the small box bulging at the sides and split in some corners (it was sealed in a durable bag so no big deal). So far they seem to nail every order I give them and haven't ever screwed me over, that I know of.

Again, the reason I ask these questions is I had to send a friend some neem in Israel, when I tried to fit 16lbs in the medium flat rate box (as listed on bas) there was no chance in hell it was going to fit. The most I could possibly fit was 12 pounds. Shortly after I made a few comments about this, the amount was changed to 12 lbs, however it still says you are getting 40 cups which is a contradiction as 12 pounds does not equal 40 cups.

It's early, and I need to drink coffee, but 10 cups in a small flat rate box? As always I could be wrong, but it sure doesn't look like 10 cups will fit in there. I might try later and see what I can fit into one.

Peace!

Have you considered the moisture content contributing to the weight? If it was me who had to pay for shipping soil and soil amendments, I'd let them dry as much as possible before packaging it all up. Just a thought!

When measuring in weight this is totally true. However, cups is a volume measurement.

I took some compost and a small flat rate box and filled it. I fit 5 cups comfortably, and you might be able to squish a sixth cup in there. I welcome people to try this and see how many cups they can fit.

Just saying,

My assumption is that we're getting neither an accurate weight or volume, but rather somewhere in between. My guess is that at one point they figured out what will fit in what container by some rough math perhaps? I should have taken a picture of my box of vermicompost though, it really was quite comical how much they managed to fit in the poor box.

Bodhi is great for sure. There's a couple state side vendors that carry his gear if you're ok with sending cash/money orders in the mail. If you prefer credit card then the usual UK vendors all carry his stuff.

As for germinating seeds, I find soaking them in plain water for 48 hours, then putting them straight in to soil works best for me.

You know if they're reliable?
Cool thanks for the input man.
how quick will they sprout?

As for BAS that's pretty shady. I can't believe they're selling mars led lights lol

I've never used seed vault of California but many others have with no issues. Great Lakes Genetics is legit as well but I'm not sure if they ship to non medical states. Both places will throw in a free pack of Bodhi if you buy two packs. Basically 3 packs of bodhi for $140.

My seeds pop up from the soil in 24-72 hours after the 2 day soak for the most part
