Illustro Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) ¡Hola!Has anyone got any amazing germination teks for E. equisetina and E. intermedia? My penpal Pablo is having issues, we've both searched far and wide (including UTFSE) for more information but none of the teks seem to work for him.He's tried all sorts, from GA3, to cold stratification, to temperature swings, to freezing, to scarification, to warm incubation, and come up three quarters of fuck all really.The seeds are from three different sources; we both suspect (and have read) that perhaps the seeds have some very strong germination inhibitors and may only start popping up in around 12 months time. Apart from that, we're stumped.¡Gracias amigos! Edited August 9, 2012 by Illustro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planthelper Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 i'm sure all of your seeds are too old to germinate.all ephedras germinate with ease, if the seeds are not too old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illustro Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Have you germinated equisetina & intermedia before? I've heard reports that equisetina at least has germination inhibitors. Pablo found that other seed (fragilis) from the same source germinated magnificently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planthelper Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) you talk pablo, but want me to self incriminate?are your equisetina seeds fresh?inhibitor problems only arise with old seed!!!!!!!!

Illustro Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Oh right, I forgot about the situation over there ;)I assume they're fresh-ish, Pablo sewed them straight after he got them - tho no idea how long the suppliers had them sitting around for. Quite unfortunate really, they (equisetina) seem like such an interesting species to grow! Pablo vey dissapoint poor Pablo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
