Tried a new method with seed....

I tried something different than in the past in regards to sprouting seeds. In the past I normally would use the wet paper towel method as it has always worked. The problem I run into is that with my busy ass schedule - I have 15 employees that work for me - I would forget about them and when I would remember - the seeds would be dried out and dead. Don't know why I have short term memory loss lol. But anyhow, this time I said I am going to try something new. I took a old pill bottle and mixed some water with a touch of miracle grow liquid and poured it maybe half an inch deep. Put this in my closet and let it roll. I put 10 seeds in their. About 6 or 7 days later I checked on the seed and WOW - 9 out of 10 seeds had sprouted with good root. I then transplanted the seed and boom - all came up and seemed to sprout at a faster rate. Don't know if this was just good luck or damn good seed but I know one thing, my seed didn't dry out as it really couldn't. Just thought I would throw this out there as maybe some others had the same problem as sprouting seeds as myself. SMOKE ON MY BROTHERS !!! :peace:

I've had problems with the towels drying out as well and I read someones post that said to do the paper towel as usual, but to put it in a ziplock. I figured I was in the shit then cause I had 5 strains that I wanted to keep separate. Long story short, the seeds did not germinate at all & I'm pretty sure it was due to the lack of oxygen. :wall:

I went back to the old method with a pile of fem'd white widow seeds & viola, a new crop.

I always used sandwich bags cause they do let in oxygen, jiffy starters are really the
best in my opinion.
unfortunately smoking lots of weed over time causes short term memory loss jojofour lol. :wall:
I think the mg thing was dumb luck cause giving seedlings nutes like
that usually would burn the shit
outa them. I wouldn't use mg on anything if you paid me. lol
