Or

You've probably read this, but thought I'd send it anyhow...it might make me look smart:
CPN - An amateur’s experiences with Byblis germination

It might not help him but it'll probably help me!

Did someone say Byblis liniflora bleach treatment?! That's my queue to shamelessly plug my bleach treatment instructions in my Byblis Germination and Grow Guide! (scroll down to "Method D")

I would have gone a different direction, but I decided that keeping my mouth shut was better in this instance.

ayo

I can imagine the ad… TRY OUR NEW LARGE AND FIRM MATTRESS; NO MORE PEST DURING THE NIGHT!*

*WARNING: the mattress can eat bugs AND people if slept on for more than 4 hours*

Shoot! I don't even no which in of the seeds to point up when I plant them or which songs they like song to them and now you've got me going down a rabbit trail of smoke and fire!!!! Been reading some and it is definitely an interesting phenomenon (glad spell-check spelled pheneomenomnon for me!). One thing that really was interesting is that the smoke actually helps, via a chemical process, to scarify the seeds. It seems that the soil (grow mix) can be smoke treated to promote this germination process. Very interesting reading...and I'm just trying to figure out water germination and John's already building a funeral pyre to germinate his!!! I can see myself telling the fire marshal, "Well, I had this tiny little seeds so I set them on fire to get them germinating...". That would be the last thing I said before they carted me off for "counseling" and possibly shock treatments.

Thanks for the rabbit trail, Panman!!!!! Man, have I got a long way to go!!!

Smoooooke on the wa-er-ter...bonk...bonk...bonk...bonk bonk..ba-bo-bonk.....

Having been through counseling and shock treatment, I figure I've got nothing left to lose.

Package arrived! Cue the flames!
