So whilst drifting around the canna community the term Float Tech has cropped up a couple times..... As i do, i got onto google to workout where the premise may have come from
https://link.springer.com/article/10.10 ... 4486715690Carapa guianensis Aubl. (Meliaceae), a hard wood tree from the Brazilian Amazon, has large recalcitrant seeds that can germinate and establish in both flood-free (terra-firme) and flood-prone (várzea) forests. These seeds, although large, can float. This study was designed to experimentally examine seed longevity under floating conditions ex-situ and its effects on subsequent germination and seedling growth. Many seeds germinated while floating, and radicle protrusion occurred from 3 to 42 d after the start of the floating treatment (tap water, room temperature 20–30 °C).
So this needs a lil explaining in itself. The seed/tree in the study obviously isnt ganja and secondly "Radicle" would be what we would think of a "Tap Root"
My understanding from this is; when our seeds have half their surface exposed to air and half exposed to moisture that we avoid potential of drowning new seeds and also the affect of this "correct" air to water ratio appear to speed up development of what we call the Tap Root
Its all well and good reading so i thought id get stuck in and give it a go....
5 slightly stoopid fruits put into a low wide jar and dropped water till i saw the beans move off of the bottom, they cant sink below the surface but and Radicle/Tap root will have immediate access to water if and when they do crack
Here we go
looking forward to seeing this run.
