Wet paper towel in a baggie.works 100% every time unless seeds were not ment to grow.i tried the cup of water way i didnt like it.
I think he just wanted too show off his wad of cash...isnt it hilarious how the op only got 1 actual post? and yet there are 3 pages of posts with next to useless information about peoples personal opinions about each other rather then the question asked?
Recommend you take up another hobby - knitting, bicycle repair, Polaroid photography....Are these seeds looking good? I tried germinating like 80 of them and got TWO to work out of ALL of them.
No, that will only invite pythium rot. You didn't read my archive. The radicle quickly grows to 4" long and will find good soil moisture unless some numbnuts fucks that one up too......plant the seed in a medium cover with some sort of humidity dome or plastic wrap and done.

The "basics" is all that matters in this game. When are guys like you gonna get it? The rest of it is tricks for kids.

That's the best way to do it, imo.I have enough problems later on so I stick with what I know works.
They look alright to me.Are these seeds looking good? I tried germinating like 80 of them and got TWO to work out of ALL of them. I hate the paper towel method it sucks. I put a paper towel I wet it I put the seeds then another paper towel and wet and cover FAIL. Should I try the cup of water method? Let them sink in there until the root comes out?
But mother nature doesn't. If it's the medium that you're using that needs the help of the extra RH you get from a dome, then so be it. Use your dome.I see sannie uses a dome.
Recommend you take up another hobby - knitting, bicycle repair, Polaroid photography, anger management course instructor....no I didn't read your archive. your archives are shit UB. I was trying to play nice and you still come off as an abrasive douche. I scanned through it rather quickly saw a bit about covering seed in cup with soil and just assumed you were on the right track but now that I go back and see all this bullshit about sterilizing seeds with bleach cooking soil.... that's a bunch of bullshhit. yea ok soak the seeds for a FEW hrs. 12 hrs not really but probably won't hurt. pythium rot sure buddy that could happen but it won't. I have 100% success, several very popular breeders will suggest you germinate seeds in this manner (in cup covered). you must hate people that take clones. I tried to play nice shitty ben but your shit dick shat shit once again enjoy your fading memories old man. not like these jackasses listen anyway they are going to use a paper towel to pregerm anyway it is some how easier than putting a seed in some soil and covering it for a few days to a week at room temperature (78 degrees) I know what I'm doing and I try to help out when I can. whenever I see you, shitty bill, your in a fight with someone over some bullshit archive from the 70's
How big are they?I've been trying to germinate some Catha edulis for months now. I CANNOT get the damn things to sprout. I'm trying 5 at a time... I've been through 25-30 seeds already. Tried some indoors, some outdoors. Peat mix, coco mix, compost. Damnit. I'm trying cactus mix in a humidity dome next..
I laughed at the fake stats and general bullshittery contained in your post. Next time I'm germinating a seed I may do a step by step photo dissection of a Jiffy pellet to show you are a waffling middle aged man in dire need of a rethink. I emailed your "clever clogs" post to several large greenhouse owners, some conventional food producers and two cannabis greenhouse owners. One in Cali one in Israel. As pros they say would love to have the time to germinate into a medium such as a sanitary, paper towel.... The food guys said they use machines to do what UB is describing..... it is because their seeds cost pennies not $10+ a seed. They say if they had the time to germinate every seed in paper towels at optimum temps, then use tweezers to gently place the seed in a Jiffy pellet or chosen medium their germ rates would be higher. Each one of them agreed upon that. So can you please find and present us the pros who back your utter twoddle? AT LEAST a 4 inch tap root before coming above ground? Errrr yeah sure...... in my career I have germed enough seeds to know that is the waffle of a man who'll make up stats to back his other waffle. Uncle Ben used to sell rice now he sells WAFFLES.Folks, for the hundredth time, there is a reason why conventional horticulturalists, pros, DO NOT use a fuckin' paper towel to germinate their seeds, even for water culture! Here's my archive......
