Germinated seeds, told to dig them up and germ them again!

[Michael Huntherz]

1. Place in dirt,
2. add water,
3. wait.

Hydro is a little more involved but I don't think soaking in water or sprouting in a paper towel has any benefit. Plant directly in the medium whenever possible.

under a humidity dome

may be your problem !

Hey mate, those seeds I tried to grow ended up dying/rotting

Any idea what I did wrong? Or what I should do next time when the replacement order comes through

You ever use rock wool? Soak ur cubes for a bit then let thrm drip until tgey cant drip anymore. Once your tap root is showing. Just place the seed in the rock wool. Tap root down and seed up. In a few days u should have roots and the seedling should have more than tripled in size.

Just chalk it up to a learning experience and try again. If you know anyone who has good plants growing or there's a dispensary nearby maybe you could buy some rooted clones.

Here's a hint: Order from peakseedsbc. Its pretty sad, the health of so many seeds from large-scale, respected breeders. To take such pride in your genetics and then send out embarrassingly weak pathetic little seeds... It's frustrating. Anyway, germinating a seed isn't and shouldn't be tough. Push a peakseeds northern skunk seed in the dirt. Water. 30 hours later, marvel at the fat, healthy, vigorous, seedling that was able to shed its seed coat and shell without any drama.

Yeah, there's too many old seeds around, or genetically weak strains. You need nice fresh F1 seeds. NLxSK sounds good.

Yeah I know the references say that, but in reality I find that the roots like to grow straight out

I agree, I have sprouted seeds in the PPT method but I've hung the baggie vertically and the tap root grown straight down

 

[Greedy-Green]

Don't know why they would tell you to re germinate, once a seed has germinated it's get mated you cannot do it twice lmao
IMO it's best to plant as soon as tap root shows

Leave it be sometimes they can take a while just don't over water my freind overwatered his seedlings in coco thinking it's not possible to over water in coco

 

[intenseneal]

I dont know why all these seed banks advocate this paper towel method,personally I think its unnecessary.Too easy to damage the taproot and just overcomplicates the simple system nature has been using for millennia.

Totally agree. Paper towel method is not needed at all. Here is how i have sprojted my seeds and so far had a 100% success rate and spit seeds with tap roots in under 24 hours.
Rapid Root plugs or the like, these seem to help with germinating or rooting clones super fast. Soak them in PHd water. Put seed in root plug. Put plug into bubble cloner with 2" net pots to hold root plugs. I use a little Bio Root, Rapid Start and light grow nutes. Light for at least 18 hours, i do 24 hours. I started 2 seeds on 1-1-16 and have small plants already with a long tap root reaching the water.

Start the seed in a cube rr or rw etc etc then plant into coco I find they always take this way tarot probably got to dry at somepoint
