I guess you're just lucky mate, my Taigas and BAMs didn't even germ with exeption of 1 Taiga seed and DP never got back to me =)
Anyways I wish you luck with this grow![]()
Thanks for the good karma, get on to Dp again man, i wouldnt stop till they got back to me if i was you.
Hey Briain - Glad to find this thread and I've subscribed. I usually use the paper towel method. I get a layer of 3-4 thick paper towels and put them on a side plate. I then pour some distilled water onto the papers and saturate (but not flood) them. I put the seeds then on the towels about an inch and a half apart. I place 3-4 more paper towels on top of the seeds and saturate these paper towels as well. Then I put another side plate upside down on top of the first side plate. So they're creating a little humidity enclosure, with the seeds sandwiched between the two layers of moist towel. I check them then every 12 hours and usually after 24-48 hours all my seeds would have popped. I then use flat tweezers and gentlely pick the seed up and place it with the root facing down into the medium. You can place the seed with the root facing down, or even sideways but never up. If it's soil and coco I'll put in into a hole about 1.5 - 2.0 cm deep. That works flawlessly for me 90%+ of the time. Sorry to hear about your problems but am really happy to hear Dutch Passion have been so sound and sorted you out. I look forward to tagging along with your grow mate![]()
Thanks for the info man, although i am aware of this method i would rather not do it. Im into just leaving them do there own thing and i usually get 100% germ rates this way bar my last attempts. I drop my seed in a glasss with rhizo and wait till the seed sinks. I then take that seed out and plant it directly into the growing medium. Usually have sprouts within 2-3 days, no later.
