Would mine work? It may be a rip off but I was trying to get the majority of my shopping done in one spot.

It contains mostly nuts and sunflower seeds.....the cheaper stuff contains more of what u want.....go where the deals are....don't be a fool and make some corporation rich off your laziness. Not sure how big of an endevor u plan on taking on, but It's going to be expensive if you go your route....6lbs will make about 6 quart jars.....but less if you subtract the floaters(black sunflower seeds) and peanuts.....

Walmart sometimes sell these brandless bags of economy mix 7$ for 20lbs.  If you can't find something like that, brown rice has become my favorite grain.  70cents/lbs at dollartree/groceryoutlet/probably other cheapskate stores.  I think they buy it then realize they fucked up cause poor people don't eat brown rice.  Walmart might have cheapsauce stuff too.

It requires careful preparation, but will be dry in a strainer within like 10 minutes, and overall preps extremely quickly.

I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister.  I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave.  I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent.
Triggered yet?

No, this does not look right...

I used to buy that all the time. They were the plain white bag with red writing on them. If you read the fine print you would see that it was pennington wild bird seed in a cheap bag.
I just bought three bags of the stuff and they changed the mix in my neck of the woods. It had ground up corn, no beuno.
I buy these from wally. 15$ for 40 pounds. Been cooking a bag a week all summer.

Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

I ended up going to Lowes and bought this.

It says it has millet and sunflower listed as ingredients.
Will it work?

As long as it's mostly millet.  A shitton of sunflower seeds won't do you much good.

I usually put the amount I'm gonna use in a large bowl, add water, scoop off most of the sunflower seeds with my hands, then strain it.  Also helps get rid of some of the grime that is typical for WBS.

Alright thanks. I plan on using Franks prep. I think it is mostly millet too.

the issue with sunflower seeds is they don't retain very much water. a small amount won't do any harm, but a lot will cause the substrate to lack proper moisture for full flushes.
