New Grower How do you germinate?

[geanybravo]

When I was an outdoorsman I would place the seed in wet paper towel. Now I'm more of a "natural selection" put it in the dirt kind of guy.


I'm currently 13 of 16 for new sprouts.

[White Punk on Dope]

When I was a White Punk on Dope I would pack my airpots carefully with my "super soil" and in the center some potting soil. Soak seed 24 hours.
Plenty of PH'd water/molasses and lovingly placing the seed 1/2 inch deeeeeppp in the soil (I know a lot of you can relate to that 1/2 inch).
Then I use a CFL light on it at 77 degrees F. Then the fun begins as I command it to grow. After a week its gets the white light AutoCob.then this happens and then this happens. Then your friends say when they see you .

I got a tip that soaking a seed in a weak solution of liquid kelp fo 12 min 24 max would improve germination. It sure does! But one time only from me. I don't like soaking. This time I soaked the soil with 1/16 teaspoon per gallon of NKP Kelp and put the seed in the soupy mess I made on the top of the soil and the seed spouted in less than 48 hours. That's the way I always do it, too many lost soaked seeds. Just dry from the fridge sitting on a tablespoon where I can keep my eye on it and once I get my sight adjusted under my led I gently place it on the soil and down she goes knuckle deep. Many are fooled thinking soaking quickens germ but they don't count the time the seed was soaking. Worse idea I ever had was soaking in a 1 litre water bottle and then turning the bottle upside down on a paper towel on top of the soil. I poured it out and never did find that seed, But it sprouted way over on the other side of the pot. How it got there I don't know.

Soak for 24 hrs, then into potting soil.

put seeds in a glass of water over night thay should drop down to the bottem of the glass if not give them a little push and thay should , then u can put into paper towel till u see the tap root came out then u can put into a plug/jiffy pellet or straight into soil

This is how I did mine and all 3 popped and seem to be doing well. Dropped all 3 into distilled water and kept it warm and dark. They sunk in 12 hours. Took them out then and put into distilled water soaked paper towel for about 24-28 hours when they had nice white roots popping out and then into their final pot. Came out of the ground about a day after.

In Water and after the Seedcasting breaks i put the Seed direct in soil and allways have great results. no paper shit etc

I soak them in tap water over night then straight to soil, they pop in two days, Three max. I tried the paper towel method but I saw too much room to damage the root. The only other wayvi would do it is straight to soil.
