Put seeds in soil or water then soil?

We will see what happens my man

Put em in a seed tray with a humidity dome and heat mat. When you see any tap roots put it under a light even if others havent sprouted, but gradually move it away once it starts to sprout. For comparison I cranked my qb96 to max with them under it for only a few hours at a time making sure it doesn't dry out but the constant water being evaporated with it continuously being reset seeing as you cant have the humidity dome on anymore and need humidity. Works everytime with me, spray it wet a couple times a day for a few days after it actually sprouts. Once you see a root at the bottom. Throw it in soil or whatever you want. Works for me literally everytime. It's a bitch but it works.

What if I just drop them in the holes on the Rockwool? That’s what I just did

Keep the dome on them so the cubes stay moist., you should be fine

I haven't popped beans in a while since I've been cloning alot, but I recently popped 90 beans with 100% success.... Soak in water for 18 hours or so till they sink when you pop them (if some are still floating).. pour onto a paper plate with a paper towel. Fold the paper towel in half and place on a heat mat at 78 degrees... tap roots in 18 hours. One seed put out it's first set of leaves in the towel!. Just checked them, and they have all popped the soil.

In a cup of water 15 to 18 hours.
On a sheet of paper towel, folded in half and dampened,
placed in a dark corner til tap root is 1/2 to 3/4 in. long.
Plant in peat pellet with head of sprout at surface,
til first set of true leaves form or roots appear at the outer edges of the peat pellets.

Being in the seed business for years....legal seeds....Every seed we processed was first separated by maturity...some of the separating techniques would astound ya....
Growers impatience are the biggest reason for failures. As processors and farmers believe every seed is a viable producer...there's very few ag crops that are over-planted and thinned...we just plant the shit and go smoke a doob. The only rocket science is made up when ya read the weird shit some do just to get a glimpse at some 'tail'....

Ok a lot of the seeds are sprouting. One which was an older seed and a freebie did not. I just popped another 6 in water that was sat on the heat mat and dropped them into the holes with tweezers. That seems to be more ideal but we will see...(Note to self: “ Before summer put seeds in cooler place to store.”

Not sure I like these rockwool. The root seems to have difficult penetrating through and it looks like it’s all tangled up. Anyone else feel that way about these? That’s just first impressions

How are they coming along? With clones it definitely takes longer for the roots to make it through the rockwell opposed to soil. IMO it's a benefit, because the roots always seem super thick, strong, and a Healthy bright white color. With seedlings they're in soil before that.

I gave up on the fucking rockwool. Then again in all fairness the ones that sprouted were basically steamed on accident by the old lady who cranked up the thermostat when I was away and I came home to most of them in the humidity dome wilty and bent. I was able to save 1 or 2. I put the other seeds I had in soil and they yet yo of sprouted. It’s basically not a good test because as I said it got sabotaged. Other thing that happened is I should of changed out the water in the dish I was sprouting them in. I can tell they started looking fuzzy after a couple days. I did get 3 of my own crosses but no luck on the bought seeds so far. Very disappointing

Here's a Topanga Stars from Green Point. Going under the LED as soon as my Chemdog 91 SKA finishes. I sprouted them in a cup of water in 2 days took them out after 3 and then into rockwell under humidity done for another 3 days into Promix HP.

I sprouted some morning glory seeds in rookwool. Maybe I will give them another shot.
