Good luck on the germination!!
Just make sure that the soil/medium you put them into is not drenched with water (you want the medium you put the seeds into to be damp, not sopping wet. if its too wet then the seeds may start to mold before they get to the surface :( )


Anyways I got my fingers X'd for ya. Good luck :)

you can use a cell phone charger or 12 adapter... any of those work but i did because i didnt trust the power supple idea i ran a power bar cord out the back when the power would be so it looks like the normal power cord from a distance but if you want to get technical try the poser supply or cut and strip the end of your power bar cord and soder the pos. neg. and grnd. to the 3 sprong that hook up to the power supply so your pretty much bypassing the power supply there for it can be taken out, and the you use your normal pc case cable so its pretty much just like an extention of the power bar cord... i dont know if any of that made sense im kind of high... good luck or just take a look in the DIY sub forum lots of helpful shit there.

lol. you made sense :p I was going to use a PC power supply for the pc fans also, but i decided to just go with the 12v cell charger myself also :p The power supply would be easy enough (just connect your pos/neg to the hd/floppy cable pos/neg and youd be good to go) but i decided against the power supply simply because its another large item and its just as easy to use a 12v charger cord :p

I would just put them in a few tiny peat pots & put it in a humidity tray then leave alone less they are dry :p :)

I've got my fingers X'd for ya, hope to see some lil seedlings running around this forum soon :)

I think this is day 9? for my first set of germination? so i am carefully but not giving a shit at the same time digging to see if any have even taken root.

only doing this b/c i don't care at this point about this first set.

Wondering if bugs from first box are in soil, or if i over watered some how (maybe not right drainage) i dunno but
I'm doing my old way of germation on the tips of DW and EpysN paper towel till it pops.

our method is the shit! lol go to home depot and pick up one of those 24 peat pellet humidity trays they are made by jiffy and only like 5$. with that and the paper towel method you should be golden! if confused look at my OD Grow in the sig i used the paper towel and peat pellets and i had them all germ and sprout but 1 which i neglected. good luck
