What to start my seeds in?

[Cannaman42021]

Hello guys what should I start my seeds in? And how much of it should be used per plant

Welcome to RIU

I've started my seeds in soil in small containers or solo cups, wet paper towel, or rooter plugs. I'd say I prefer straight in soil in solo cups.

Good luck! Peace

Welcome.

Jesus. People over complicate shit.

Soak the seed for 18hrs in a cup of room temp water.

Get a solo cup and seedling mix. Put mix in the cup. Water thoroughly. Put seed a half inch into soil and cover. Keep in a warm area until it sprouts.

People get nuts about how to start seeds. K.I.S.S

Black Gold Seedling Mix. Nothing better. In a plastic Solo cup with multiple drain holes in the bottom.

Probably something that you should have thought of before germinating the seeds.

Any Part A and Part B nutrients should work fine. Perhaps some Epsom Salts.

Iv had great success with wet paper towel method

You’re asking how to germinate but you’re going with coco? You’ll be back. Again and again and again. Poor choice of medium for an inexperienced grower.

Do NOT soak fresh seeds. You'll risk drowning them.

Ummmmm. Never has that happened to me. 18 hrs is absolutely fine.

I'm glad you've never encountered any problems, but soaking has never been recommended for fresh seeds. They just dont need it. Fresh seeds should have a healthy embryo with cells already full of water. Soaking can cause those cells to swell and lose o2, increasing the risk of rot and/or "drowing".

That method should be reserved for older seeds (3yrs+) or some of the OG lines that are known to produce tougher outer seed coatings.
