Help, Please Germinating Question

I am a rookie, and this is probably a really stupid question. I have just got my white widow seeds in the mail, and I want to go about it the right way from the start. What would be the best way to germinate the seeds? Ive heard in a damp paper towl in the dark for a couple of days will do the trick, but ive been trying that with some other seeds I have and its not working. I would hate to waste $90 seeds by not germinating them correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Yeah, when you've paid the bucks and gotten the beans you have that uneasy feeling that you will somehow ruin it all. Don't worry, just dive right in! They're just seeds, after all, shit, birds eat them every day!

Oops, don't eat them tho! Just put them in a glass with some distilled water in it, and let them sit overnight. The next day put them in your damp dirt. Add a little water every other day, and they will sprout.

Have fun!

thanks for the help, thays what ill do

I have heard people using rockwool cubes to germinate seeds as well .

after the seeds open should I put them under the lights, as soon as I put them in the soil?

Yes. Put them under the light.

A very easy and sinple way to get em started is to take a paper towel and wet it down ( not saturated) put your seeds in the towel place towel in a zippable baggie and store in a warm area in the dark around 75 to 80 degrees. This has worked for me. Hope this helps. Cheers 420!!

thanks for the help, got them to open up, in the soil, and have grew bout 3 inches, thanks again, will let you know when I need more help,

Make sure you put your florescent 1" away from the plant. It sounds like they are streching already.

ok, 1 inch got it. Only one problem, I threw a few seeds in a little pot, now I have 4 individual plants in a little pot. Should I transplant them into individual pots now or are they too fragile? thanks

You can transplant them but keep as much of the original soil on them as possible.
