Better put your big boy pants on...and some thick skin too...eff that snow. Pre-heat the oven to about 250 then pop them in there for 30 minutes then put them in the microwave for about 3 minutes...they'll pop for sure!

No, they will be too dry to pop. I would soak them in water for 48 hours, then 3 minutes in the microwave to warm them up and dry them. Should work well.
 
 
I didn't do what I described above. That is why I don't have any hooks yet.

Good point...I forgot to throw in the critical rehydration phase...prior to nuking them soak them in pure Clorox for 2 hours...can't believe I forgot that step! I used to use Kerosene...but there was that unfortunate fire incident...

Shane, thanks, you have made me laugh out loud twice today, appreciate that!

 

[maximumcapsicum]

BOOYA!
 

 

[maximumcapsicum]

Crud, a week in the dirt and still no hooks. But once they appear they'll knock all of ya down!
 
Maybe the dirts too hot? Hard to say. Gonna keep on waiting.

 

[windchicken]

Mine took 9 days.

 

[MeatHead1313]

Still no hooks here. Been 11 days and no action. Starting to think I messed up somewhere. 

 

[HopsNBarley]

Who'd a thunk the diesel fuel soak would have actually worked!
Damn shame I can't get them close to the lights for fear of burning the place down, but I got sprouts!

 

[Jeff H]

I'm officially in now. One sprout out of 6 seeds planted isn't setting the world on fire though.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. This is a tallest plant contest. Just keep teh lights 6-7 feet away and you are sure to grow nice and leggy plants. They will be taller than anyone else's as they reach for the light. 

 

[Pepper-Guru]

No sprouts yet! Been 8 days...still waiting...drinks beer...stares at germ tray...
