Re: Seed Starting


  Korney , List
 Actually now that I have it figured out my Datura (Brugmansia) seeds are now 
Datura plants !! I am out of seeds !!! HINT HINT !!! with seeds like Daturas 
and Swiss Chard I only keep the seed in the Vermiculite for two to three days 
and then pot them before the roots come out this is just a good way to give 
them a Quick start !! As I said it takes allot of fine tuning for each seed type 
but after you get a handle on which seeds need what as it goes for Moisture 
and possible natural seed treatments like Humic Acid and Liquid Kelp, etc., you 
will be right on your way to Mastering YOUR own way to do things..
   That is one important thing I want to chat about !!! Everyone says "Well 
this Heavy Hitter does it this way" or "all the big growers do it that way" !! 
I truly believe we EACH have to figure out what works for each of us in out 
own Micro Climates and for our own growing skills. once you figure out what 
works for you STICK to it only experiment till you find what works for you then 
only experiment on a spare plant from that point on because I truly believe a 
HEAVY HITTER is Simply this.... A grower that has MASTERED THERE OWN GROWING 
ABILITIES FOR THERE OWN GROWING ENVIRONMENT and for you to join there ranks you 
will have to do the same !!! Anyone with any other thoughts ?? 
   Take care all and have a Wonderful 2003 Season See you at the scales !!!
