handling seeds

i planted my seed today, and i just read that it's bad to touch your seeds. why is that? if i did, does it lower the chances of sprouting?

You're gonna be OK. I can't imagine how one would plant a seed without handling it.

Some people like to file their seeds with nail files to "wake them up" you're fine. Just be patient...

god please dont spread bullshit like this around.....you are going to have beginners fucking up there seeds becuase you just stated something you pulled outta your ass. please dont give advise if you have no clue wtf you are doing.



And for everyone else....dont file your seeds down. just plant them bitches tap root down and leave them alone....they will come!

Look, if you just got done working on the truck or in the laundry or have gotten them oily somehow..it is in your best interest to make sure your hands are clean. Normal day normal hands probably no problem..xtra dirty just take the time to wash or use tweezers very lightly so as not to touch the tap root as you put it in.
