I'm 61 and been growing for 35 plus years, I'm one of the guys that was out in the fields guarding in Calaveras and Humboldt. I came across a new store to try them out and bought a lot of seeds and dirt but the seeds that I bought was Ethos new strain, I open them and there tiny tiny tiny but I guess I'd try, after 7 days no go never broke ground, I'm usually a 3 day kinda Grower I use dampoff to germ never a prob but I WILL NEVER USE ETHOS AGAIN they will not back there product so buyer beware .
