hey man,ive been researching gardening and whatnot for a while now, and recently had the funding to pickup an ag 6 pod model.. im in PA so its not readily accessible to good seed banks and due to paranoia i scare from shipping from an online/canada store, however i have a steady supply of some heady buds and i got a seed in one of my larger shipments. i germinated "her" (im hoping lol, ur post almost made me cry, but then i r.i.p.'d my illadelph for him) and took one of the beginner seed pods with some random herb or flower in, removed the paper ring, let the little seedling rest in on the spongy cone, and then replaced another homemade ring or cover over the net, and she seems to be doing well, ph is checkd on the reg, and i pickd up a 5 inch bubble stone and airpump/tubes from walmart tnite, 7 bucks total btw!!!
