People seem to be getting good yields still. Even the same or better than people what have potted from seed?

I might pot 2 (out of 4) seeds directly into soil on my next grow and see the difference.

Oh the paper towel method is the key to big yields. Who would have figured. Yes you can grow plants with this method. But all you are doing is setting you time table back a few days each time you handle the bean. The OP is on day 7 or so and only has cots. In most cases at day seven the first set of true leaves are showing planting them as nature intended.

I'm not saying that lol but if it effected it that much from the start then surely it would effect the end result? I'm only asking questions to try to understand and learn dude...

IMO people like to micromanage. They like to feel like they're part of the plant growing. "Control," a feeling of wizardry. They do it for the experience of doing it.

They might do it because they had poor results from planting directly in soil. But, that could be due to poor soil, impatience. That's why I currently like a Rapid Rooter embedded in soil (in an 18-22oz container). They're intended to go in a propagation tray, then transplanted to soil. But, I just bury them in the cup of soil and let the seed grow into it. I think it provides a more uniform texture, wetness, etc. than soil.

I keep a spray bottle ph'd to 7 the more fine the mist the better.Seed hulls get stuck sometimes too.Never feed seedlings and remember that the seed has just enough energy to split and root so get them into the medium fast.

I have success with my method , you with yours and theirs with theirs. I personally damp paper towel it in a zip lock bag next to a light bulb or some shit warm and in a day or less I've got seedlings. No muss no fuss. Damaging micro root hairs with removal of the seedling from said paper towel does cause damage but is insignificant. The root hairs act like sponges and are an extension of the taproot's cells. Theses are up and down the main taproot by the thousands. They are in a constant replacement mode by the plant because they are very, very short lived.

Sure, it's a fine baby. Wait until the seed shell sticks to the damn top of the plant. That will fucking freak you out more. I hate babies. They always look so rough and sickly until a couple of weeks old.

I love them. I even cheat when I can. If the tap root doesn't take hold too quick, I pluck it out and drop it in a solo cup and reuse the rapid rooter.
