bean sprout extract to help germination

hi. read in a couple threads that using water from bean sprouts can aid in germination because it contains every thing a ganja seed needs to sprout. may help with old seeds and raise germination rate. You out there farmer?
I'm wondering the best way to do this; take the bean soke water or soak after they sprout and use that or make a tea or extract..?
i think its to get the hormone in the seed coating that triggers germination but i figure the sprouts would also contain what the other one needs too.

I'm in on those thread very interesting idea
will be interesting to see results

I am a newb, and have only popped about 30 seeds in total. However, simple paper towel and two plates inside of a bag with a probe to monitor temp/humidity has given me 100% popped of 30 seeds.

I always wonder why I see so many ideas and new ways to germ. If it is so easy to get 100% rates from that method, why does everyone not use it? (no I dont use cheap paper towels so thats a +)

Yeah if you got a good medium and just enough moisture with the right temp you can pop every viable seed. Sounds like you got it down. There are a few reasons people use other methods . I have some old seeds that had a low germ rate after all that time (5 years in a garage). And i have 5 precious seeds that i ordered and i have only had 100% success useing an agar from a science kit. my paper towel skills are ok but my climate control skills are only ok as well. So i get about 70% success with the paper towel method due to inconsistent technique inconsistent temp and occasional damage from handling or planting. Anyway some seeds need special care and a boost . I know some people prefer to plant directly in growing medium so as to reduce stress and such. I am going to experiment on some old seeds and some new seeds i bread. Using an agar medium and a peat with worm castings medium. Maybe i will throw some in a paper towel as well.

If all those seeds also grew good plants i would like to know the source or seed bank and the strain.

The strains have been Larry OG, Tahoe OG, White Widow, Reclining Buddha, Conspiracy Kush, Tora Bora x Cannatonic bx4 and Snow White. The seeds were from attitude (when they were good), James Bean, and The Vault I am pretty sure.

Just popped 5 conpiracy and 2 tora bora 3 days ago, they all healthy seedlings already =)

**edit**
The Reclining Buddha was from Soma Seeds
