Yes, you want it to eventually sink (become saturated and loosen the outer shell). But until then they should float. Normally about 18-24h it takes.

Starting seeds in Rockwool?
How much water should I put at the bottom of the trey? I put a 1/3” when I started and it’s still there, so is my environment not humid enough, so I need some air ventilation?

Membrane staying wrapped around the leaves when seedling pokes up through soil?
Anyone seem to have the reoccurring problem where the membrane from inside the shell likes to stay wrapped around the leaves? The helmet shed but the thin clear membrane stayed wrapped around the leaves for a day so I spritzed with water and removed it with fine tweezers

How much should i water in the beggining?
I'm growing Green Gelato Auto from RQS, this is the first day and it's hot outside (31ºC). I don't know if I'm watering too much or too little. I spray with water 10 times but it dries up after a few hours. Should I water it more?

2 in 1 pot?
Thanks for the tip, I am trying just a pinch of cinnamon near the seed. My question is I have a late Girl Scout Cookies about 5 days to pop I think. Should I do them both in one pot and train them together or separate pots? I’m doing 15 liter pots. GSC Auto Zamnesia

33% germination rate...Breeder issue?
I got my seeds from the Seedsman and only 3 out of 9 survived. 1. Paper towel method til root appears about a half-inch. 2. Put in pre-soaked RootRiot plug, 3 out of 6 died. PH and watering are fine. 3. Then I tried Rockwool again, 3 died. Do you think this is normal?

Germ to soil Seed grabbing tool
Hey guys, so I really fucked up last time and dropped the seed down the drain. Thankfully it was a free seed but still. If there any super fragile tool you guys use to grab the seed? Sounds like a dumb question but I don’t wanna damage the seed. Thanks guys!

Why has my harvest got seeds
OK so looking at my new harvest auto, all is well... However, I have found 1 seed in the whole harvest How could this be possible from 1 plant on its own? No males were present 100% the only plant that was near was my olive tree and that has fruited, surely it can't be olive?

Seed in soil too soon?
Hey guys, so I put her in the pot before I’d have a chance to drop her down the sink. Was this too early to put her in based on the last photos? Before I put her in the soil the tail was starting to come out
