Welcome to my playground ... a space for my mini grow experiments and general musings. Feel free to share your 2 cents here; obviously I'll tolerate an amount of monkey business! 
I have been busy acquiring various pieces of growing equipment lately. I'll go over everything I've picked up later, but lets just say I have a tough time passing on a good deal!
I have had a goal to work with seed germination in the search for my own mothers to work from. Method selected was to use hempy buckets. I tried an initial seed germination in rockwool but I think it was too wet as the seeds appeared to have drowned when I checked them 9 days later. Discouraged, but with some advice from Doc Bud, I started again with three random bag seeds I had acquired over the past year. What follows is my log from seed soak...
7-7-10: 3 Seeds were placed into their Solo cups at 7 AM. They were pre-soaked for the previous 19 hours. Stored in the dark and warmth above heater.
7-8-10: Blueberry Wowie seed broke the surface today! Pictures taken. All three cups watered with a drop of SuperThrive. Back into the dark above heater. Will place under T5 lights tomorrow night. Checked the seeds in the cubes and all were dead. Sowed the dead seeds into outside garden for slim chance they are alive.
7-9-10: At 8 AM, all 3 seeds have now broken the surface of the soil. The cups were placed under the T5 lighting.
Pics to soon follow.
