How do You Sprout Seeds?!

[cannakis]

I have just been having problems lately with full germination, like some or even most may hatch but once I get them in soil not all sprout, and I usually do paper towels in plates but have tried thesproutpeople method, and just soaking, and just planting, all withnot so par results. My temperatures are usuallyabout 80+ but 90 seems better, and I think Too much water inhibits growth. I plant in a chamber close to lights buti
Do think humidity is low.

What do You do when yousprout seeds? I just ask because I just spent money on some nice ones and I feel I may have lost more than half.!

I start off in a shot glass of water for 24-36 hours. Just declorinated water, nothing fancy. Usually by then I see a little tail. Point the tail down on the paper towel. I spray the paper towels so they were wet, but not soaking. Position it in a DVD case so the edges hold the paper towel. Then I place the dvd case upright. No heating or anything, just in a closet. And check every 8 hours or so. Usually they look like this real quick, which I think makes them super easy to plant.



More germination porn.



Peace!

I been using the root riot cubes...and have worked well....i open the hole with a pencil...place the seed with the caldera to the top..place them in a tray with water little liquid kelp and some H&G roots acellerartor ..and a heat mat...and bammm..popped...there is no handling the seed when popped...grow to 3 inches and pot it...simple...i get 99% germ rate....

damn see i really like that, i hhonestly think I had the best germination rate when I planted in soil... But then I think it may be the paper towels. I Am going to experiment I will try your way too again, like I used to. Thank GOD I have done extra seeds I can use for such an instance.[/QUOTE]

Throw'em in a cup full of water; in a few days you will see them split open.

do you just plant them straight in moist soil? do you wait for the root to be big?

I let the main tap root to grow 1-2 cm before i plant in soil. Be sure to keep the soil moist, and you should get baby sprouts within the week.

Dude, you are a douche and I would like nothing more that to not see you trolling this website anymore! Your daddy should have spanked you more! Your not even a good troll like the elite trolls on here. You are more of a troll'ling. Fuck off dude!

Personally, I am still not the greatest gardener. I have botched many times using paper towel. I just use foxfarm light warrior, straight into the soil with no soak. I hate playing surgery with seeds! Newb point of view

This guy, Commander Stap has trolled on me once. I will not watch him do it anymore.
It is people like this guy. They think that because they are driving a car or posting on a web page, they think that they can be dicks with no remorse! Anti-Troll is how I ROLL!!!

Paper towel for years but most recently found a method more than happy with.

1) Soak all the plugs in 6.5 ph h20.

2) Put the seed's mid way in the hole face down (as best you can tell)

3) Put in dome and spray lid. Put in dark warm place for 2 days. Check every 12 hours if need more water. ( I use heating pad on low and silicone pad between to speed it up and even the heat out.)

4) After 2 days put very weak light above on 18/6 cycle till lots roots.

The dark time lets the root pop out and start to grow but not enough time to grow the wrong way. Once the lights on it will know which way to go for sure.

Knocking on wood here, but I have always had close to 100% germ rate.

The way I start seeds is simple. I have little plastic bathroom cups, 2oz cups. I fill them with 1oz of water and 2 drops of vitamin B-1. I drop my seeds in and put a little lid on the cup to make it completely dark. Within 24hrs, give or take, the seed will split and the tap starts to emerge. At that point I use s turkey baster to suck up the seeds one at a time and spit them directly into the soil, about a 1/2" deep. Cover them over with dirt and within as little ad a day I start to see sprouts. Usually within 3-4 days all the seeds sprout.

Not saying this is the best or only way, but has always worked for me.

Good luck!

So am I wrong for believing that the tap root knows to grow with gravity and the light source has nothing to do with it?

MJ is a rebel, she could care less about gravity.

She does like the path of least resistance though.

Even if root is wrong way it will grow back down and you'll just see it on topsoil.
