Hi
I was wondering about nep seeds I currently have a bunch of hybrid seeds on there way to me and I was wondering what is the best way to start them in regards to humidity, soil media. What would be the best ingredients to use to start them?

Thanks

ok media is chopped long fiber spaghnum moss is the best and humidity try to keep them in 50 or higher with heat maybe 60 deggres to 80 but release the air to change the filtration every 1 day :)

I sowed my nep seeds on chopped LFS in one of those take away food containers with some holes punched through the top. This was placed in my green house under the benches where they got dappled sun light. It took about three weeks for them to germinate. Just remember the older the seed the less likely it is to germinate.
