I'm the Queen of low processing...so when I read you putting the seed in fresh in the bud I went.....Hmmmmm......
Just like the plant does in the Wild..........hmmmmmmmmmmm......
Then I Thought....No you Daft Bat.......
......if a seed drops off the mother onto/into the soil it Still needs to Dry out....
and drying out in the soil..in the bud... is a longer process than drying off the plant and off the soil.
I get it all the time.
I don't get round to emptying pots..the compo dries all autumn...the winter spring moisture germs them...
