Seed planting question

yes, i know this is a complete retard question but i cant remember since last season which was my first grow. What end do you plant the seed in the soil, pointy end up, or the wider base up????



sorry for the stupid question but i just been so stoned jones lately

you plant the white tap root down the tap root grows down and the seed part comes up through the surface of the soil and cracks open and produces the plant

your probally going to wanna germinate those seeds first ,

ie. Put them in a moist paper towel , in a plastic bag some where warm for 24 hours , or untill a little white root starts poking out the pointy end.

Then plant them white root facing down. and keep soil moist but not soaking wet. I like to put a plastic cup over them like a humidome , and take it off when i see green coming through

na i hate germinating in bags and the paper towl bullshit

on a plate is so tough to do throw someseeds under it, man that sure is a lot of work, huh?

i just think its easier to put them right into soil what the big diffrence???who cares

well if you just chuck them into soil you are running on potluck whether or not they germinate. since you can't see them. but under a paper towel, you can see exactly wehat is happening at all times and when that sprout first pushed thru you KNOW it worked and can now plant it.

Starting soil/potting soil is a perfectly fine method of germination. It is true that you cannot observe the seed's progress or failure. However, if sterile conditions are observed, germination rate is comparable to other methods. I like it because I can disturb the plant very little before and after sprouting.

yea me too and im using bagseed also so its not like losing seeds is a big deal

does the water you soak the paper towel with for germination need to be PH'D????

This is a very good method of germination WWW.GREENHOUSESEEDS.NL - Green House Seed Co. Amsterdam Since 1985 and if anyone knows how to grow it is these guys. They are winners of 31 Cannabis Cups. You can also try these products Seed Germination Tips and Techniques - Seed Germination Products..

I don't own a ph meter. everything I do is by feel or smell. having NO money limits me. but I think everything should always be tested just in case. it can't hurt, right?

Go to the pet store and in the fish department they have pH testing strips and bottles of pH up and pH down for fish aquariums cheap.
