Need a germ method..

Hello room. 1st timer and i've tried the sponge, the bag in a container, and the container on top of low heat methods to germinate and none of them have worked. can someone please help me with a another method that stands a better chance of working. I 1st thought it was the seeds but after trying diff. seeds im sure its my mehtod. Any veterans willing to offer experienced wisdom??

try the paper towel method. Just get a paper towel and fold it until is like a 3"x3" square get it wet with water and put it on a plate or something that has a raised lip. Put the seed in the middle of the towel and put them in a fairly warm dark place, i use a closet. check the towel twice a day and keep the towel damp. you can soak it and let it dry or just keep it damp i find it easy to give it a tiny bit of water every day. In 3 days to 2 weeks your seeds will start sprouting roots. then you can put them in rockwool or dirt or whatever.

toss it in a cup of water,until it pops a root,then sow it.I read neutral or warmer mediums increase females,so you should put them on top of a seedling mat,or under a light.

hey dude!

When i was in like third grade, we did a project in class sprouting bean plants. we got a jar, stuffed some paper towels into the bottom, then placed a "bean" seed on top of the layer of paper towels. then, another couple layers went on top, and then we added water. It was really cool cuz you could see the roots growing, and lately I've been using this method to germinate my seeds. its handy because you know exactly when to transplant, and as mentioned before, its always fun to watch the seeds pop open and start growing. I also put the glass jar with paper towels and seeds on the water heater in my bathroom. it stays nice and warm, and lately have been having seeds crack open overnight!

thats the same thing basically that I do except without the jar. That way I do have to go digging for the seed I can just pic up the towel unfold it once and there's your seed. but ya they for sure will sprout quick
