For years I have had really good luck using the Canna Coco as a seed starter for vegetables and now.....
I use it in the domed self-watering seed starters and if feeling compulsive, I would actually boil the Coco in a large pan on the stove. Let it dry in paper towels then fill the seed tray.

PH and add a very small bit of rhizo to the water and fill the bottom water tray.

Soak whatever seeds for a few hours in pH,d plus tad of peroxide then plant in the Coco, throw the dome on and place under a light bulb.

It takes a few days for the Coco to actually draw up the water but it's just about the time the seed sprouts. This has been my foolproof way for many years now...
Canna Coco FTW!
I start in coco as well, but sometimes I'll pasteurize it in the oven at 200℉ for about 4 hours.
I would use promix, but I don't like it mixing with my Coco come transplant time. It just feels wrong. :lol:

Excellent idea putting it in the oven, takes the time out of drying it after boiling.
Here's a quick picture of my seed starter minus the clear dome.

[QUOTE="higher self,

@morgwar I sprayed some neem yesterday & no more mold on the top off the soil ever time it dries out. Thanks for the tip![/QUOTE]


I'm a big neem fan.

"Neem is an antibacterial but true to form, neem has little negative effect on good soil bacteria. Neem also helps control nematodes, root born fungus’s, viruses and other soil-borne issues".
I've not noticed any difference in taste as others have mentioned, bit I will say in India its used in teas as a health supplement.

I have the meals too but only top dress with it cooking soil with neem gets a bit too pugnant. I need to stay on it with the applications. I use half n half neem/karanja oil & add a bit of yucca extract for emulsion & wetting agent. Add some sea 90 for good measure & they loved it had them praying up to light soon after they dried off.

So I'm having trouble deciding between copper chem or night rider for my next round.

5 seeds of either. I'm popping 4 strains. One of them will be from Greenpoint.

I'm open to suggestions. Yes I love the genetics in both. Yes they will both be ran in the next 2 runs.

Hence the dilemma. Thanks in advance.

Not sure about night rider but copper needs a lot of real estate. That's one ill be running 2 or 3 in a 3x3 or by itself.

I had horrible results from neem. Idk what I did wrong but damn it made my high class escort, meth head lot lizards over night. Just from a light light misting mixed at 1/4 strength that it says on the bottle. They recovered since then. But I'll NVR use it again.

i mean
germing-
i'd pour pack of seeds in shot glass filled with water, 6 hrs later poke down seeds. 24hrs later take out, place on wet paper towel, store in dark place.
24hrs later, maybe less ill check my beans, just in case they might of sprouted more than i have wanted them to if using rockwool.
(too long tap root might over shoot inch rockwool cube starter from bottom before it sprouts sideways , a pain to maintain from overdrying and eventually dying)
after. place in rockwool already ph'd @5.5- ro water or very light light solution ph/5.8. for coco- ro water lightly ph'd @5.9.
add a bit of mycorhizae to water or light sprinkle to medium. added bonus.....

long process, great results...nice ratio of success. doesnt matter ogkb or 20 year old unknown free franker from Logic.lol
if a healthy bean, that doesnt crack under the pressure of my fingers doesnt sprout, i place that blame 100% on me not the bean.

Yall make it harder to decide than I do for myself.

Maybe I'll just pop 3 and hope I get a male or two :)

I have the real estate, just a question of what gets the axe.
I just germed 4 Copper Chems yesterday.
I think someone else here did too...maybe chemphlem?

Be kinda cool to have 3 different grows of CC going at the same time here.

Oh and I up-potted Tomahawk, Trifi, and Tombstone. Sexing will be starting as soon as they fill in these pots a bit
