Another try at Germination

If you wanna know a really good trick for germination? First soak them in a cup of half water half hydrogen peroxide make sure you soak them in complete darkness. They will crack within 24 hours then place them in a wet paper towel (only water this time ) put the paper towel in between two plates to keep it dark let the sprout grow out an inch or so then transplant to your medium. I have had plants within 36 hours ever time germinating this way. And as long as the seed isnt dead almost always 100 percent success

8 out of 20 germed enough to make it to the grow room. Bag seeds are not the best.

Next time, I'll try to germinate in the container they will stay in.

Soak seed until it sinks. Place in container and water around it until it's time to harvest.

My way was too much hassle and for zero gain.

Man you made seed dropping way more complicated than it should be. You don't need any nutrients, you don't need any PH adjustments, nothing just place the damn things in soil and keep moist and boom. Seeds don't need anything special at that point in there life they don't need anything, hell they don't even need light to germinate. Or drop them in a glass of water, within a day or 2 they will crack and sink, take out place in jiffy cubes with some light mix, like peat or coco and pop them in and within a day or 2 they are above ground.

Don't think I've lost more than a few over the last 4-5 years. Sure I've had to cull the weak ones but that's just life. Keep it simple bro, over complicating things just make it worse.

I dunked some rapid rooters in tap water( .4 ec 7.5 ph)..gave em a little squeeze, dropped some seeds in the hole 1/4"-1/2" down..I didn't cover the hole..which it seems alot of people do. put them in a tray inside a rubbermaid tote with the lid on under a 400W hid, about 24" above, and a heating pad under it. I poured a little water in the tote for humidity. It maintained 80+F and 75-85% RH. After 2 day half of them sprouted, 2 days after that the rest. They then went into a humidity dome, with a heat mat for a day or two, then to a dwc.
