haze1205 Posted January 23, 2010 I didnt check my mail till in the evening and noticed my iboga seeds came. The package felt pretty cold but not freezing. I think the seeds will be ok. Anyways I was happy to see the seed pod was completely rotted away and the seeds were plump and two even had little roots sticking out. I potted the majority of them in the peat they were in and the rest threw in some extra potting soil I had. I have the pots in a large plastic container sitting a little bit off to the side of an hps for warmth. OK now a question seeing as how I turn the light off at night for the other plants, will the seeds be warm enough on their own, or should I put a heat lamp over them at night while the light is off? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torsten Posted January 23, 2010 last lot of pods were harvested during wet weather in the tropics, so the fruit decomposes much faster. And overseas shipping can be anythign from 7 days to 4 weeks, so not sure how long haze's seeds were in transit. haze, the fact that you have white germs is a good indication that the cold did not kill them as they would turn brown within hours. You will definitely have to keep the heat up to them. They will go into stasis if the temp goes below 15 or maybe even 20 C - which may kill them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Green Posted January 23, 2010 Damn after recieving my pod i've put it in the refrigirator for some weeks. After that i have put the whole pod in a zip baggie with spagnum moss at 35 celsius i'm trying the natural way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
