    What to start seedlings in?

    Whatever works! I've been growing in soil & coco. Tried various methods & prefer to put the seed directly into wet medium & just wait for sprouts. I get germination rate of 100% and it requires least hassle.

    just got the delivery from Kingbrite (I'm impressed how securely it's packed!) I notice that the rubber band on glass piece completely insulates the cob from everything else. Will this not result in water condensation? If I'm right, would it help to simply drill two extra holes in the...

    hanna 98129 ph calibration problems

    wow! thanks for the feedback! yes, the probe is definitely covered with a layer of dirt. The pen is set for two step calibration.
