Also - Dutch Passion Seed Co. - add them to the list of seedco's which have joined the coloured seed revolution... gimmick gimmick
Ever heard the saying "If it aint broken - don't try and fix it" the seedco's obviously haven't.
Anti-pathogens... Root stimulators... All chemical anyway, so if you're growing in soil, wanting to maintain and adhere to strict organic standard, that'll go right out the window!
They didn't think too hard when they thought of colouring, and then dipping their seeds in chems did they?

yeah i am pretty sure i read somewhere that the seed business has been doing this for a long time.. not the cannabis seed business but regular seed business.
also i did hear that it was 100% organic. they would be stupid to not make it organic in this day and age

Well this is a neat idea, but it is not "organic" as it contains rooting hormones and other protective compounds. The organic root hormone is more of a liquid substance, than a powder; that video shows they use a powder mix.
But i think this is a really cool idea, even if its not 100% organic.

Why can't those be organic? I mean you can make your own 'cloning solution' from willow trees.

From Cannacare, although it's easy to find googling:
"1. Collect stems of nearly any species of willow (Salix spp.). Weeping willow (S. babylonica) is probably most popular, but we use S. caroliniana with good success.
You want young first-year twigs, with green or yellow bark; not old enough to develop brown or gray bark.
2. Strip off and discard all the leaves. All you want are the twigs. Cut the twigs into 1" lengths. Now you have what looks like a pile of small matchsticks.
3. Add enough water to barely cover your twigs. At this point, methods vary among workers. You can either heat the mixture almost (but not quite) to the boil, and brew it like tea, letting it soak until thoroughly cool, and for several hours more, OR you can not heat it, and just let it soak, like "sun tea" for several days, in the room-temperature water. In either case, when the liquid develops a greenish-yellowish-brown color, rather like weak tea, You filter off the solids, keeping the liquid. It will keep in the fridge for several weeks, or may be used immediately.
4. When ready to root your cuttings, make a fresh cut at the base of the cutting, and place it in the willow water, like flowers in a vase. Leave it there several hours, so it has time to take up a significant amount of the willow water. At the end of the soak time, you can rewound the base and apply an auxin-based hormone. Then root the cutting in your normal way."
In fact I remember studying Willows and their ability to grow from stems in bio class.

Anyone want to trade some yellow ones for some purple ones? I can't find any orange ones in town either. Anyone got any orange ones? I heard if you pour distilled water on them they crack sooner and will grow at a rate of over 130%. If you use sparkling water it can reduce the growth rate in the first 11 days by over 21%. If you put a blue and yellow in the same cup then you will get a hybred that will be kind of green in color. I hope they make a gold one soon as I am sure it will be the strongest and the fastest growing. If they are red then they can finish flowering in under 29 days. Amazing. I love Greenhouse seeds. Soon they will have one you don't have to water. That will be a strong one too.
