ok i kno i kno mandala suggests their OWN style of germination because their "seeds are so fresh" or w/e.
but my question is this...if i buy mandala seeds...and instead save them for a year before germination is it safe to use the regular ol paper towel method? or should their directions still be followed to a T????
Hey, I did Satori last year after all the "10 Most Potent Strains" noise wound down. Awesome bud in every respect...I read the grow notes on Mandala's site too but decided to go with what I know and that is "Rapid Rooters"...I used to do the soil germ thing cause that was all I knew...Well, I knew the paper towel thing too but that never appealed to me logically...I did, in the seventies & eighties, soak bag seed in a solution of water and "Adolph's Meat Tenderizer" before soil germ...It was a "Whole Earth Catalogue" thing; enzymes soften the ceed shell was the reasoning...60s Hippie, livin' in the NC mountains, out door pot growin, back to nature, make your own soap, everything vegan type, very close friends of mine still do a natural enzyme soak of large batches of ceeds to include all their garden veggies...But I digress..."Rapid Rooters" increased my germ rate by 10%...All 10 Satori sprouted...FWIW...Go with what you know reduces the number of folks you can blame...
Oh, my friends peddle their pollen chucked stash under the name Appalachian Outta Site...Anybody heard of it?...It's a limited production, NC thing...Pretty decent buz for $200 for an honest oz.
