Great. Please let me know when the seeds arrive!

I'm all out of seeds for this year. Hopefully I'll get more next fall to share with everyone.

I got GA from Shop Flower Seeds. Buy Plant Seeds. Acheter Graines Fleurs. while I was ordering some of their seeds. They have banana seeds which don't seem to be too expensive. I ordered twice from them; musa violacea, nelumbo seeds (which germinated easily), passiflora, irises, and smoke primer. Their prices for GA is not that high actually. I've seen GA 1g for 8-9$ on e-bay, while rarexotic sells it for $3.75. It's based in Mtl.

1 month.. that's very long for fresh seeds

I'll let you know when I get them Austin! Thanks again

austinl01 · 01-31-2008, 07:52 PM

Celine, the seeds are in a plastic baggy so hopefully it will keep them fresh until they get to you. Considering I just picked them only about two weeks ago, they should be fine. I hope everyone gets great germination results.

D_&_T · 02-04-2008, 01:02 PM

got them today

now for an 48 hour soak, then pot them up

austinl01 · 02-04-2008, 09:36 PM

Excellent, Dan and Tara! I wish you luck with them. Please let us know they sprout.

magicgreen · 02-05-2008, 01:03 PM

Austin, The seeds have arrived!!!!

They look very healthy and plump!
Iam going to soak these for a coupla days and try the pop bottle thing with 2 seeds.
Thankyou very much!

jellyfish_sky · 02-05-2008, 01:38 PM

Yey! The seeds arrived in good condition!

Much faster than I thought

I will soak them for two days in GA ~300ppm solution.

Thanks for the seed

I'll keep you updated!

austinl01 · 02-05-2008, 08:25 PM

Great! I wish both of you luck in germinating them. The seeds are very fresh. Please keep me posted on your results. Thanks.

jellyfish_sky · 02-05-2008, 10:59 PM

Hmmm I was wondering if I should keep them at constant temp or fluctuating temps?

AllenF · 02-06-2008, 12:05 AM

Celine; that's great how quickly you got your seeds. Mine should arrive before Friday.

With my lack of success in germinating Musa Velutina seeds. I am not giving you any advice. My GA is being shipped. Thanks again.

Allen

AllenF · 02-07-2008, 06:07 PM

I got my seeds!!!

Thanks Austin.

Allen

austinl01 · 02-07-2008, 06:27 PM

I'm glad they arrived quickly and in good shape. I can't offer any advice on germinating them since it's all new to me too. I hope we can all get some sprouts.

D_&_T · 05-06-2008, 07:00 PM

Has anyones sprouted yet?

jellyfish_sky · 05-06-2008, 08:15 PM

Nope! Still on the mat... Lasiocarpa seeds are really difficult to sprout, I heard.

AllenF · 05-06-2008, 10:31 PM

Nothing yet for me as well. I used GA and Hydrogen peroxide as my soaking solution. I put Sikimensis and violacea seeds in at the same time. The Violacea seeds popped in less than a month. Nothing else has germinated.

Allen

Randy4ut · 05-07-2008, 04:04 PM

Nothing on my side either. They are currently outside and getting the flucuating temps...

austinl01 · 05-11-2008, 10:33 AM

Keep having patience. I hope we all can get some to germinate. I guess we will find out if they are hard germinators or not. Please keep us all posted on any developments.

austinl01 · 08-01-2008, 10:51 PM

Has anyone had any seeds germinate yet?

Randy4ut · 08-02-2008, 06:04 AM

Austin,
Mine have been out in direct sunlight for about 3 months now and I have yet to see any sprouting. Hopefully, someone else has had better luck with theirs...
