How long i can leave the plant in germination?

noidea · Apr 29, 2020

After wasting like 50 seeds one seed of mine has germinate using plate and paper towel method, its been 2 days and the tap root has grown like 1/4 or maybe 2/4 of inch , the thing is i will be away from home for 12 hours and in 12 hours it will be night and i would have to wait for day probably to plant it in pot .

So can i delay one more day or it will die?

On my last grow and this one, I had seeds bust and send out a taproot about an inch long, thought the paper towel, pretty much overnight. It should be fine overnight but I’d get her planted!!

I never waste any seeds using rapid rooters.......try them.....they're foolproof.
If you had used them from the beginning you'd have 50 plants instead of 50 dead seeds.

I agree! I started using these last year and never looked back. I ran out before my current grow, had to use some peat pods, and was instantly reminded how much I hated dealing with peat pods.

I think his seed source is as suspect as his "soil".

That could be.......but he never mentioned that they made it to the soil.......I assumed they died in the paper towel.
You would think that after a couple failures he would have changed his method. Lol.

8 years ago, I had started germinating a few seeds when unexpectedly had to leave town and didn't return for 10 days.

I put them into a large coffee tin on top of the warm fridge to let them live or die

It's a shame I didn't take any pictures of these seeds as the tap roots were huge and all curled up in the coffee tin. ( they were about 10 to 12 inches)

anyhow, I put them in soil and they survived, but both turned out to be males

I used to germ in paper towels, some genetics would spit tales a foot long and still be viable, but were they easy to sew? No.

Now I live in the desert and a lot of my old stuff won't pop in a paper towel, its dried out before I crawl out of bed. Directly into cups from now on.

I had to water paper towel every 4-5 hours
