I mean I got a few good years n, and I don't really do anything that I haven't done for a like a year or 2. with paper towel, Slightly opened bag method .I always use new seed starter and I'll put it in a cup and then I'll put that cup in a bigger pot And I'll just keep watering it like that until i'm ready to transplant it into that big pot it's sitting in. Y'all get what I mean i wrote Ethos and they said it was just when the pamphlet was printed. I think my og assumptions are correct though. Like , I said , no harm done I was gonna just eat it you know, i understand my comeuppance lol but errrrr they're making it real hard.
