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.

Cold Temps, Seed-to-Soil
This seed has cracked out of the shell and been thrown in and out of soil. It has been experiencing 65 degree days and a 55 degree night. Will this hinder the seed from emerging or is it pretty tough to kill a seed? It's a Mephisto seed I tried to get the best genetics I could.

Pollination question! Help please!
I have two tents side by side. Both have inline fans installed with filters. 6 female plants, 1 male, how likely is it for pollen to wind up in with my girls if I keep the male in a separate grow tent? I want to selectively pollinate branches so I still have good bud too.

Autoflower Genetics
Hey guys, I normally grow photos but I am looking for the best cultivars for autos. Anyone have any favourites? I also intend to grow some outdoors and over here, in March it's around 22 C on average, so I need to start early. Cheers growmies 😎

Will seeds from a self-pollinated Auto be viable?
I have found the occasional seed in my bud from an Afghani #1 Auto, if I find more should I keep and plant? I'm guessing they could be male or Female? Thanks

I'm growing my first seed. It' hasn't broke the soil yet. I have plastic over the cup to keep the soil moist. Do i take it off when it does? I live in a small condo and my humidity is at 30 % in the room.

I bought a batch of RQS seeds, one seed is a little cracked, are there any chances that it could germinate? It is not cracked that much, only a little bit where the taproot comes out.

Issues with expertseeds
Used the cash app as suggested by expertseeds. Sent money they say no recieved . Cash app say no refund. WTF I've spent 6 hours emailing and checking to try and fix this. I now conclude they are both unethical companies. Screenshot of my payment last week included.

Any suggestion for fast flowering strains yet THC powerful and not sleepy
For my next session, I will have little time available. With 15 days of vegetation and around 50 days for flowering : SOG and maybe with lst + fim + scrog. What powerful strains would you advise ? Do I have to go autoflowering ?

How many seeds floated?
I'm curious as to what people's experiences have been when placing their seeds in a cup of spring water as per Crop King Seeds germination policy. How many sunk and how many floated when you first put them in?
