Planting seeds today. The moon is in the sign of Cancer today, tomorrow and part of Sat. The old growers went by moon phases and the Almanac. Cancer is the best sign to plant in and heading towards the full moon in which we currently are. Line-up as follows: 1161 Rodonis 1556.5 Werner Back-ups: 1242 Chambers 1114 Chambers 926 Chambers I soaked them 6 hrs. in half H2O2 and half water.

Forgot to mention having mixed Holland's Biogrow Endo Plus Mychorriza-Trichoderma into potting soil for anyone following this, maybe someone new to growing. I'll try and diary most all steps I'm taking if you want to use it as a guide etc.
