    Lol - and best of all it creates the path to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisdom_of_the_crowd as others will surely want to have the same success.

    Great threads like this is why I love this hobby ...

    Later Ferdie

    PS When last did we have a good sticky ?

    Precisely so Ferdi,words of wisdom.I guess I cant take full credit.I did the work and followed my gut,but I had some input from a German guy and a local guy.I tweaked there recipies a bit to create something that worked for me but without the wisdom of a crowd I probably would of struggled.

    amazing thread, very selfless of you to share your experience, I'm pretty sure others would have kept it for themselves.
    let us know when they are ready for sale !!

    Hi all.
    New update: My amanos have reached maturity and even better news is that the first female is berried.

    Wow, looks great. How do you manage keeping the temperature constant in this heat... Do you use a chiller?
