The following is a list of what I started:

Acer Palmatum 'atropurpureum' Rockwool 2
Acer Palmatum 'atropurpureum' Foamy Sponges 2
Amsomia Foamy Sponges 2
Amsomia Rockwool 2
Datura Lt. Blue Rockwool 4
Datura Lt. Blue Foamy Sponges 4
Datura Double Yellow Rockwool 1
Datura Double Yellow Foamy Sponges 1
Morning Glory Blue and Pink Silks Rockwool 6
Morning Glory Blue and Pink Silks Foamy Sponges 6
Morning Glory Blue and Pink Silks Cellulose Sponge 5

The daturas, acers, and amsomia have done nothing yet but the results of the morning glories is interesting.

Rockwool 5 out of 6 have germinated
cellulose 3 out of 5 have germinated
foamy 3 out of 6 have germinated
The interesting part is that the ones in rockwool are all ready larger than either of the others.
Next best is the cellulose sponges with the foamy ones coming in last.
I will post a couple photos for you to see, but so far the rockwool is definitely winning hands down.
I really wish I had some of those cocoa cube things to play with too. I just can't justify buying many more toys!!!
I probably will keep using the sponges, I am still happy with the results I am having, the cellulose ones do hold moisture better, so I think I will switch to those. I will save the rockwool for the things like brugs that I want to be very successful with.
