The varmints are actually rather adept at getting back down, and suffer no apparent harm from the plant's spines.

  Meh.  That's mighty weak sauce!   :rolleyes:   Fresh bat crap, mixed 50:50 with warm bobcat piss, combines the best of both!  How do you think those Aridzona cactus get so tall?  ;)    

  Get them into larger cups.  The extra dirt will hold more water and take much longer to dry out.  For even better water retention, top-mulch with a sprinkling of plutonium shavings.  And if all that doesn't work, just chop the leaves off.  This greatly reduces water loss and completely...

    Nice plants!    'Bout time to strip the leaves, methinks.  That will make them grow back bigger and better than ever!  

My runts  have been eking a living off the pitifully dim dual CFL lights in my 'grow' (damn little!) box.  Today, for the first time is a few weeks, we are having some nice weather and the plants are getting some sun. Got them under doubled 70/30 shade cloth that should hopefully prevent them...

    :mope:   What did you do, forget the red fuming nitric acid?   :rolleyes:       Hope you can get a new batch going soon!

  What's that horrible growth on the tip of the bottom leaf?!  :shocked:   It looks like a fungal or bacterial disease!  :confused:   To be safe, you should probably apply a bleach spray to the entire plant.  (Drano works great too!)   :dance:

  Using clear cups here as well.  "Calibrating" my eye took some time, and I nearly lost one of the seedlings when it suddenly wilted.  But now I think I've got it down.

  No.  No.  No.   There is not a chance in hell of me watching that snot-faced, puke-spewing idiot.  I'd rather  :banghead:  

  Oh Crap!!  You have real leaves going already?   :confused:    :mope:

  You've got them at 80F degrees ABOVE zero, right?   :rolleyes:   That's a lot of lazy-ass seeds.   :confused:

Got home to find a few more tiny plants.  6 of 11 so far...   I've left the 'deployed' plants out for the last few days, soaking up sunlight reflected off a white panel.  So far I haven't burned any to a crisp, nor have birds or bugs devoured any plants.  Now they have only to survive another...

  They do seem rather perky for superhot seeds...

  Well... in that case!

        OMG!  One of the seeds actually DID hook!!    :dance:  :dance:  :dance: Will post a pic tonight, when I have time. With record warmth and damn little rain, Aridzona's winter has apparently been canceled.  :confused:   Sunny, with mid-high 70s, for the next week so my new babies can start...

DISASTER!!!!   Came home to find the incubator temperature had fallen to 78 degrees, over 15 degrees below the seeds' comfort zone of 95!   :shocked: I quickly applied a blow-torch to warm them back to germinating temperature, but am terrified that the tender plants have frozen to death in the...

I got a few small fragments, a few chipped seeds, with one broken-in-two.  90%+ were fine.

Seeds in the roaster at 95 degrees.  Hooks by Jan 5, guaranteed!  :P   

  There's still time to steam your seeds.  This opens their pores and allows the vital Diesel nutrients to reach the seed germ.

Just 6 more hours 'till ...Dirt Day!
