Pretty nice GanjaHome. I grow in soil so I'm quite happy doing the good old paper towel method, but way to be inventive. Happy Growing.

If you can't water your seeds for some reason; then it would be useful. It's an interesting concept, but it's got a limited usefulness.

I put my seed in moist warm soil, same end result. Seedlings sprout in 3-4 days.

How many times have you popped that same seed? Honestly, one success doesn't dictate a universal principle. It's cool that you had this happen. However, a meaningful result isn't achieved without repeatability and a control group.

i agree with u! this procedure wasn't tested on different strains repeatedly and it can't be taken as technique, but that wont stop me from sharing some good results i got with! i didn't say that i have the ultimate wisdom I DON'T... i was just smoking a joint when i though bout building that mini DWC cuz my seeds takes long time in GH hydroponics 5 gal bucket! As simple as that... Keep it green bro! U Soil-Medium Guys do start in small pots and transplant later to bigger ones to avoid stunt growth and stress... Why don't we Hydro-Farmers do tha same ;)

Then all is well. I definitely wouldn't say that there isn't some merit to your idea (Things worked out well for you.). It's more of a cost to benefit thing.

Like I said, it has it's benefits. It just depends on what your needs are. If you need a sprouted seed ASAP; your method is useful. Personally, I'll just keep using the used up soil from old plants. It's free and requires no electrical consumption. Plus, it's much more efficient in the space department. It's all about needs. It's not a "debate", it's more a interjection of perspective. Your way is dandy, but not revolutionary by any stretch. It has it's merits and drawbacks like anything else.
