Half of those fails were with rooters. So thats not the case. Like I said, I've tried multiple methods eith Mephisto's and in the end, I drop a jean-o bean and all was right with the world again.Soaking and then moving to a rapid rooter or jiffy isn’t direct planting them!
And ask a growing veteran like @Mañ'O'Green paper towel way is no bueno! Whether its worked before or not doesn’t make it right! It’s obviously not a great method if u have lost 10 seeds cuz I guarantee u mephisto is not the issue!

What's your method with rooters? Are they staying too wet? Or do you think it's a bad batch of seeds?
Remember when we used to tell breeders when we had germination issues, and they could track things down by the seed lot # that sometimes was on the packaging?

Mephisto subs out a lot of their genetic reproduction work. Meaning they aren't doing it all in-house. In fact a lot of breeders do this. So yes, there actually could be germination issues linked back to the breeding stock.
Paper towel germination is one of the most common germination methods. Love or hate it, it's tough to talk shit when it works and everyone has been/is still doing it.

Lmfao the last time they did this i posted it somewhere on here and had Stan track me down and scream post at me! Then same day he changed the Mephisto subforum to where u had to prepost your questions etc for review before they posted!
I always try to make sure my room is 85 to high 80s. I thought you had bought a new tent heater? I also always bag up my soil a couple weeks early from the composter and let it set in my heated garage. My grow this fall took 20 seeds to get 6 plants because of mice.
I’ve also cut down on soak time on the heatmat to 12 hours or so.

Ya its just abusive on the root hairs if it sprouts a tail in there and u are really f-ing it up if tsil grows straight thru paper towel! Plus its hard to get the inside of a paper towel in a bag to stay at right temp and if it doesn’t sprout really quick the heat can dry out the paper towel and make it more difficult! Rooters have always worked great for me but i soak seeds in a cup of water first! And u do need to run em under the sink and then squeeze em til they aren’t dripping water cuz def not saturated enough straight out the bag!

Yeah we aren't going to babysit them like that anymore, if they want to defend themselves he can grow up and be a big boy.
