thanks for this tip, its almost being lightly steamed in the sealed tupperware container i guess, all about moisture & warmth! ive never tried the paper towel method before but ive got some 12yr old special beans i will try it with100% Germination rate, 10/10 in 24 hours. Time to go hunting! Animal cookies x cherry pie and Crypteen x animal pie, by in house genetics.
My germination process is simple and is as followed.
Step 1. Fold a paper towel in halves a few times, leave it big enough to put all your seeds on it and be able to fold it in half one more time.
Step 2. Wet the paper towel with warm water, not hot or cold.
Step 3. Press out most water but leave it wet/damp.
Step 4. Place the beans on one side of the paper towel and fold it over them so they are completely covered.
Step 5. Press between palms gently to create a good seal around the beans.
Step 6. Place the paper towel in a zip loc bag.
Step 7. Place ziploc bag in a Tupperware container.
Step 8. Place in a cabinet that is dark and warm.
Lots of steps, but it all takes about a minute. I always get a 100% germination rate with this method, and with how expensive seeds are, this is the way I feel works the best. View attachment 3796398
