    Never tried it but I wouldn't think it would work that well. I would try to grab a cupful of decent potting soil from somewhere..mabye buy the smallest bag available at the local hardware/garden store if you got the funds and can't 'bum' some of somebody/somewhere.

    You can use outside soil but I would think at least have some risk of BUGS/PESTS and other factors. Maybe someone with more experience can chime in as to whether you can keep the germ seed that long without planting? :smoke:

    Plant seedling in a jiffy peat pellet. When you get a few leaves you can transplant in perlite....Do a search on hempy bucket....;)
