not looking for trouble but

ther is a lot of ways to do the same thing and because mother nature does it one way does not mean we as thinking animals cant come up with something that works better for us

i have a lot of minature fruit trees in my vegitable garden my apple tree has to be cross pollenated for me to get apples in nature bees butterflys bugs and wind does it but for me to gurante i get alpples when i have flowers on it i go around with a paint brush from flower to flower and bingo loads of apples

there is prolly a lot of things that farmers have learned that is not what nature does --does nature make femanized seeds no but it is what we have learned in time to make things better does nature use hydro, c20, fertilizers no but some things we have improved on nature

do what works best for you dont knock what works for the next man

so many rumors and wise tales around this hobby i like to experiment some time it cost me but i still learn something if nothing else what not to do next time i feel soorry for those that believe everything they hear

for the Attitude June promo i tried two seperate orders and got two full promos i asked around everyone was like a parrot reapeting same thing even the site said one set per but i got two sets -- your coice to follow or not

i take advice with respect then i do what i think is best here at RIU 3 say its black 3 say its white 3 say its gray then there is the blind man that swears its orange so that tells me half dont know what they are talking about but still answering should be reading

good luck, good grows, to all and may grow gods smile upon your beans

Well written. Just think about growing hydroponics - definitely more effective that the original "mother earth"-style ;O))

this is what i do im not trying to tell anyone else what to do i dont roll like that

i put seeds between paper towels about 4 to 6 fold
then i soak it overnight with about an inch of water
sometimes the next day its split already if so i go to soil if not
i pour off all excess water just enough left to keep it damp (not soaked )
i check twice a day first thing in AM then late in the day
AS SOON AS IT SPLITS i go to soil about 1/4 inch deep i place in soil point down i use starter soil (nothing in it)
i put baggie over cup with rubberband and a tiny hole in it and i use a heating pad at 80 deg and under flouresent tube
as soon as it breaks soil i remove baggie --wala

some leave in paper till tap is like 1/2 inch (wrong) then it WILL attach to paper --some do this for placement in soil (which way is up) some do it because they were told to or heard it-- EXPERIMENT--

this works for me i have also just put in water till split then to soil

good luck
