What method did you use for germinating the khat EG? Just soil?

16 days according to my grow log, none of them have sprouted, not even the others you sent; I'm not blaming you though, don't take it as an insult or anything, something could have happened in transit or something.

My good camera is dead, I posted pics of it before it is my standard for all seeds.
1/2 in of sand on top of cacti soil mix that has been treated with neem oil for fungus and insects, a layer of rocks at the base for drainage. It's all inside of a plastic tray, the kind you get at walmart for chicken, or food places, with holes in the base, the lid has a few holes to allow air flow and keep humidity relatively high.
The Hylocereus, Trichocereus, etc seeds I had sprouted using that setup, just none of yours. Like I said I don't blame you, there could have been something that happened in transit, so I'll give it some more time, seeds can be finicky sometimes.

Okay, try using a top without holes, and only like >1/8 in sand on top of the cactus soil, soak the crap out of the medium then let it drain a bit, sow them on top, sprinkle a pinch of sand around them, and don't even bother with the neem oil
Also, blast them with light on a normal day/night schedule
See how that works

I used 100% vermiculite on 5 small pots and Miracle Grow cacti soil on 4 others. The 1 other seed was crushed during shipping. I have 5 that are trying to pop their leaves out of the seed coating right now. Once they get a bit bigger I should be able to get some decent pics with my shitty cam. I've got my fingers crossed for the rest. I'm about to buy 30 more seeds.
Anyway, its been about 10 days or so since I sowed them. So far I'm pleased. No fungi problems. I just hit them with some Garden Safe 3 n 1 fungicide during sowing and about every 5 days since.

Yeah I had the setup without holes for a few days, I use that and then slowly lower the RH, I picked up one of the seeds and it felt very malleable which I didn't think was normal. I'll give it some time, I really just want some Astrophytum seedlings for grafting.
I suggest more cacti, or picking up Marajuanilla, that stuff is easy to sell as a smoking mix.

Yeah, if they're malleable they should sprout soon, unless some random as shit thing is going on -- keep me updated 
Marajaunilla...?

I'd offer to send you some seeds but I sent about 500 to ngnyus before he died and I wont have more until they finish flowering. The flowers are open on them now so we'll see, I'll shoot you a PM after I get to collect seeds if you are interested/don't find some by then.

Well I let a lot of things die out that I had growing last year. I put a brugmansia outside to see if it'd survive the winter (nope), stopped watering my calea (oops), trashed my big sally (can't remember why), and some of my cacti froze while sitting dormant in the garage, including a nice Ariocarpus retusus, Hylocereus undatus, Selenicereus grandiflorus, and 3 very nice Astrophytum myriostigmas.
I've been thinking about getting new cuttings of calea, salvia, and brugmansia. I've noticed there's no salvia plants on ebay anymore, which makes me want one even more. Calea and brugmansia were just really fun to grow. I trashed a couple Psychotria viridis last fall and now I'm down to one that I've grown out from a leaf cutting, which is looking pretty healthy (~1ft tall, 3 shoots). Thinking about making a LOT more leaf cuttings this year from that one plant.
I want to work on growing some nice thick pereskiopsis to do some grafts. Maybe cut some heads off of my caespitosa for that.
I planted the "three amigos garden pack" from fungi perfecti which includes Stropharia rugoso-annulata, Hypsizygus ulmarius, and Coprinus comatus. Hopefully at least some of these come up in my garden this year. I've been working on planting the annuals in the garden and maintaining/planting new perennials. So far there's a lot of berries in the garden - marionberry, a couple types of blueberry, evergreen huckleberry, blue elderberry, and red-flowering currant (tho that's not really for its berries).
I've also been working on organic lawn care management. I really hate grass lawns but I rent and there's a decent sized lawn so I figured I should learn something from it. We've got grapes, plums, apples, and cherries on the property as well and I want to make a better effort to take care of them during the dry summer and to dry all the fruit that I can to preserve it. It's free food after all.
+ I just got a new air-coolable reflector, variac for the exhaust, and a grow tent, so yanno what that means.

I wasn't really setting up a trade but more so providing info, you're the boss though doc. I'm also starting some Phlaris grass, it will be a good year if I can get some Astro seedlings for grafts, they have become an obsession.

OH man i wish my meow's would come up. Its been 2 weeks. Planted like 60 of those suckers. Some slightly under soil, Some on top of the soil. Have had a humidity dome on and let them stay moist and also after a week i heard that you should let the flat dry out slightly then spray again. I guess i will give it another week then maybe get some different seeds to work with. These came in the pod. But they could have been old i guess if you are getting that many to germinate that quick. could you PM me the vendor which you got them ?? Thanks.
