03/07/20 Update with Pictures (Quick Update)

I thought I'd begin this post with a picture of my secondary indoor growing area. It's a 3 foot wide, 4 shelf wire shelving unit I bought from Walmart. It was cheap. I zip tied some 3 ft shop lights to the bottom of the shelves and plugged it all into a strip outlet. 



 

Early in the week I got some Wrightia religiosa seeds that I ordered online. Also known as water jasmine. Not sure where I got them, and that's not important. Suffice to say that if you're looking for this type of seed, you can always find it online.

Moving on to the seeds. I decided to soak them before planting them. They're supposed to be 'water' jasmine, right? The seeds were light and floated on top of the water. I thought maybe they were shit seeds. After soaking them in water for 24 hours, almost all the seeds sank to the bottom, looking more like grains of rice or little shrimp.  From what I understand, they should start to germinate in 10-15 days. We'll see.






As an aside, I also thought I'd include a pictures of the seed tray I used to plant the seeds in. Comes with 72 coco pellets. 



You simply pour in about one to two quarts of very warm water and the pellets puff up in less than 5 mins. I think it's the coolest thing ever, but I'm a fucking dork!

 




Nothing else to post at this time. I still have the Japanese black pines seeds to plant up and the shimpaku juniper.
