how long did it take for them to germinate?

Re: Kyle's seeds
 

Allright! Makes me happy to see you got them sprouting!

Re: Kyle's seeds
 

They were planted on Nov. 7 after a 24 hour soak.

Re: Kyle's seeds
 

wow.thats fast.

Re: Kyle's seeds
 

Two M. sikkimensis X paradisica in another tray on the top of my plant shelf has sprouted. Temp. of soil while lights were on in room was 28c, 82.4F.

Re: Kyle's seeds
 

This morning I noticed that the B. Gigantea have sprouted for me too. I soaked mine for about 6hrs and planted them in one of those 'Glad' re-useable containers with Miracle Grow potting soil and the lid on. I only watered them when they were first planted and did not use bottom heat. The lid traps the moisture and heat. Did anyone find information or pictures for the Balbisiana Gigantea?

Re: Kyle's seeds
 

that looks great!
and at wich temperature??

Re: Kyle's seeds
 

I also have a couple of seedlings, 1st one after 3 weeks. They spent the first few weeks at room temp, so I expect more now that I've got them on heatmat.
