Mick, if you have a heating mat for brewing or a heated propagator or even a hot water bottle underneath the pot, itll help dry it out quicker. a fan will help too, or a fan heater even better. You could try a towel underneath to soak up some moisture through the holes at the bottom of the pot....you know the ones...... you just have to laughTell me about it jimmy I laughed my head off when I realised....onwards and upwards as you say!!! What sort of device could I use to pump some air into the soil? I think the weight of the water and soil might be putting pressure on the roots and it could be suffocating them?
Hey everybody, have a mystery seed that I found in a bud. Currently germinating. what is a good soil I can buy in ireland? Shamrock, maybe?[/QUOTE
Biobizz is yer only man, but if you cant or dont want to go to a grow shop, then John Innes no.2 is good, Shamrock is shit, so is anything peat based, but most of the non peat based compost is even worse. Youll need to add something like a quarter pearlite to the compost, or sand even.
The allmix or light mix from Biobizz has all the shit in it you want, so it does really make sense, and while your getting it, you can get some purpose made feed too. Youll be needing it soon enough.
If that seed of yours sprouts. Any joy?
.I think the paper towel method is a waste of time to be honest...I just throw my seeds in a wine glass full of water, then when I see taproots (never over 12 hours on a viable seed) I just strain the water out through kitchen paper/coffee filter and Bobs you mothers brother!
couldnt help meself.....only buzzin Mick, anything that can be fucked up, I have fucked it up. You have to laugh.Your a bit of a smarthole proff haha fair play the dig was deserved, I'll do the towel thing in the meantime thanks for the advice, gonna look at heat matts now on the net and see how the prices are.
