here is a crappy pic of my ventricosa seedlings its out of focus but its an old digi cam and im asking it to do stuff it doesnt want to. anyways you can see the pot on the left covered in solid green mat of seedlings growing in pure chilean LFS. on the right is the pot of "coconut peat" ventricosa seeds germinated in it but no where near the number compared to the LFS. there is still a large number of ungerminated seed on the surface of the coco peat.
