This is so nice to hear! Have you found that it works for sequoia trees?

Awesome! Hope they're still viable.

@@BriansPermacultureProject I added a couple drops of Hydrogen Peroxide in the water, to disinfect and energize them. ...I will come back and let you know if there is success...they are from Whatcom Seed Company

​@@greensage395Any luck

How did it go?

Hi there, and thank you for the reference! I read "The Triumph of Seeds", by Thor Hanson a few years back, but it was more on the popular press end of the spectrum. It sounds like Baskin and Baskin is more of a technical read? If so, I look forward to reading it!

​@@BriansPermacultureProject what kind of heat lamp is this 🤔 uv light??🤔

​@@willowpine2604❤️

I'm going to use this! I'm also going to try it with various types of ash seeds.

Hi there, I purchase mostly from Sheffield Seeds, and sometimes from Schumacher.

@@BriansPermacultureProject thanks much!

They're doing well. I coppiced them last fall, and they're growing back nicely. I expect this will be a big year for them.

@@BriansPermacultureProject nice! I short video of them would be appreciated!

Hi Willow Pine, I have had them in direct sunlight after they leaf out in the jar, but I prefer to have them in cell trays by then. I don't have any experience with having the seeds in direct sunlight.

@@BriansPermacultureProject hmmm . Alright i will try it to see that way and i will update my results.. something I want to mention this days here is raining and have sun some times together sometimes separately for example Monday make sun here and Tuesday start raining then later in the day the sun came up again (weather is crazy nowadays here ) so its not clearly direct sunlight!

​@@BriansPermacultureProject Well after 15 days in water and direct sun outside I don't see any of 30 seeds to do something... Actually one seed their wings start to become one and make like yours White tail but i don't know if that is good sign I'm waiting for your reply! Thanks!

Hi there, I have purchased from both Sheffield Seeds, and Schumacher Seeds. I'm not sure if either of them ship to Germany.

I use water from the tap, but it is not filtered or sterilized in any way.

Hello from California! I just use the same water, and don't change it out. It has never gotten moldy on me.

I used a 75w red-blue LED grow light; nothing fancy. The model I used is not around anymore, but the most recent version is here: www.amazon.com/Osunby-Growing-Indoor-Plants-Hydroponic/dp/B075JFPLY1/ref=asc_df_B075JFPLY1/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=242015693684&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2235693913492338798&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9032258&hvtargid=pla-449483384086&psc=1&mcid=8a18a6802f233f4d9ec381b896657e30&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgpaGubH5hAMV7jfUAR3aCgIUEAQYASABEgJLGPD_BwE

I start in January.

I am ordering from a reputable seed company (not an Etsy or eBay seller), so hopefully they have done their homework.

Hi Willow Pine, I use the same water, and it is uncovered.

@@BriansPermacultureProject thanks i just put mine seeds in water ! And now I'm waiting!

Very exciting! Please keep me updated :)

@@BriansPermacultureProject i will last time i didn't make it the seeds germinate but when i plant them in the soil with heat lamp on them nothing happens maybe i was to inpatient will see this time that i have more knowledge about it !

@@willowpine2604did it work?

Hi there, I don't explicitly cold stratify; temperatures range from the low 40s to the mid 70s, day by day.

Hi there, I haven't tried that, because our dry season is sooo long. During the worst drought years a few ago, we basically got ONE real storm, for a total of 5.8 inches of rain for the year. So in trying to get them established without irrigation, they would need to be able to survive for 300+ days without water. I do have some that are separate from the main group, and got a lot less water because of that. They survive with very little water, but they do not thrive at all.

Hello, I don't replace the water. I fill it up once, and that's it.

Hi there, it can be quite cool. The temperature of water here is probably 60 or 70 degrees F, or 19 to 23C.

Thank you

Hey mate, try looking at ebay. Theirs some pretty reliable seed sellers there

It's not a heat lamp, just a grow light (that runs quite cool). No UV; it's just a red-blue spectrum, so the color is very strange. I'll look up the name/model when I have a chance.

​@@BriansPermacultureProject thanks i will wait for an answer if you like... Im waiting seeds to come and i will try my luck with this... Is this lamp necessary? Or it would work if i have in my window.? Here we have sunny days that's why I'm asking Thanks!

Here is the link to the grow light I use: www.amazon.com/Roleadro-Spectrum-Seedings-Blooming-Hydroponic/dp/B07QRQQ7B4/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?crid=2ZG7THSL5HVI5&keywords=roleadro&qid=1685132003&sprefix=roleadro%2Caps%2C269&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEySjQ3V1pNMzdRQjExJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNTMxNTM5M0NHQ1hDR1pTOVhXWSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMzc2MzU3MUlVMUpLQ1lOSUZZSCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

@@BriansPermacultureProject does this lamp work actually? And did you ever close the light or is it continuously?🤔

It has worked for all my seed starting needs. I don't try to optimize it by getting the exact right spectrum for the exact growing stage of the plant, with timers, etc. etc., but turning it on and leaving it on has worked well enough for me.

You can do whatever but the results are not as good.

Let me check. Send me another message if you don't hear back by around February.

No, I use the same water the whole time.

I don't replace the water.
