>>1059717Most of mine germinated within 5 days, even the superhots, with the slowest poking their heads out in 9 days, but I did have a humidity dome and a heatmat, and soaked the seeds.
>>1059710I'm honored, but this is also my first time, so I just might've been lucky. What I did
>soak seeds overnight in weak camomille tea (make tea with a bag, then again with the same bag, soak em in that second weaker tea)>put in generic soil mixed with some perlite, on a heatmat (constant 25~35°C soil temp), under a dome>put a cfl bulb on them when they started to germinate>snib em when they have 2-3 sets of true leaves, leaving only the first set of baby leaves>then again when the 2 new steams have ~4 sets of leaves, leaving 1 or 2 sets on them>pot up when the roots fill the previous pot>always a general potting soil mixed with perlite>water only when the soil is very dry or if they droop their leaves when it's not super hot outside>half strength fertilizer once a monthOpen air depens on your climate I guess, I'm in Belgium, zone 8a/8b. They work in open air here, but do a lot better in a greenhouse. But as you can see, I have nothing special, not even a real garden, and they are thriving.
