Is it possible??

I watched a Youtube Video of a guy who puts the seeds in 20 paper towels folded up and put in a DVD case for 7 DAYS! ​Is that too long?

I think I'm discovering that.

So if I am using Rockwool in a bubbler system, how should I germ seeds and when is it safe to put them in the RW cube?
Yrt rapid rooters. I like the paper towel method for germ, place the popped seeds in a moist cube. Keep them moist but not soaked untill you have long roots coming out of the cube. Plant your little plant with roots dangling into your dwc bubbler

7days is pretty long, usually only takes about 1or2 days, you want to transplant when the seed just cracks and is about 1/4 long. If not you have a long floppy seedling.

How long after its put into paper towels must it stay dark before you can check on them?

Cool, trying to get the process down. I ordered some fem'd single seeds and wont have back ups if they dont germ.

heres my process, i take a couple towels wet them down, ring out slightly just to were its not dripping, i then put in a square tuber-ware container folded nicely, put the seeds in between the middle folds, seal container and put in between my mattress and box spring, dark and warm there, I try and do it few hrs before bed and then ill check in the morning and if needed ill check again at night. By then usually good to transplant.

Sweet. I get the idea now. My mistake has been not putting them in the dark. Plus it seems like everyone is sealing them in something to keep the moisture in. I get it now. Thanks for the help
