New Grower How many seeds do you germinate?

[SHRED]

Say you want at least 2 plants from a given strain.
Do you soak two seeds and hope for the best?
Since seeds aren't cheap.

That's what I do, I just plant what I need and hope for the best.

I normally just germ what I plan to grow and see what transpires.

if you're going to soak, soak each seed in a separate container in case of bad human error. Me? I go straight from the fridge to the soil. It's the same time to germinate but it seems longer since most people don't count the time spent soaking. I have a special method that works well for me. Part of it involves taking a 6 inch terra cotta pot with a hole in the bottom turned upside down and I make a circle in the middle of the container and kind of grind it down a little to make a little moat. Then I plant the seed right in the center of the circle I made with the upside down terra cota pot. That way I know exeactly where to look. And I keep the terra cotta pot turned upside down over the seed until it sprouts beacuse it provides a stable environment for the seed. That way I can water the container without disturbing the seed and if the soil under the pot is too dry I just put the pot back on and spray the pot and a very very fine mist will water the seed soil from the water that makes it through the small hole in the bottom of the pot, but usually my soil is a soupy mess when I plant the seed so it is about like soaking in dirty water. But I agree, seeds are expensive.

I order from herbies and have never had a seed not germinate. I always use the paper towel method.
