Best way to germinate fems?

Roxie_xxstarted grow question 5 years ago

I have 3 blueberry sherb fem seeds that I wanna start off today however I’m not sure the best way to germinate these I used water and paper towel for my autos, but I was considering watering in soil and then dropping them in. Just after opinions. Thanks in advance.

Throw them in a cup of water for up to 24 hrs or until you see the taproot emerge. To help them germinate you can softly scratch the seed casing with a small emery nail file. this will help it absorb the water and make it slightly easier for them to break free! I prefer using a Peat starter or a Rapid Rooter / rock wool starter for all my germination. This will keep them from getting burned too much from hot soils like my Fox Farm Ocean Forest. I hate the paper towel as I've wrecked too many that stuck and then I rip off taproot of when trying to plant it.. Hope this helps! Happy growing

I like doing the watercup method for 15 hours with room temp water then throwing then straight into the soil. Haven't had a problem doing it that way. Cheers

Kitties_and_Colas

seeds were result of a stressed (fem) plant pollinating another feminized plant, of the 16 seeds 2 have sprouted but VERY slowly (they look like most seeds after 24hrs but it's been 3 days) Question: are slow starting seeds indicative of weak genetics/weak plant?. waste of time?

Inside of seed stuck on cotyledon leaves keeping them together Has anyone ever had the inside of the seed stay on and keep the two cotyledon leaves together? The outer hard shell has come off. I've been spraying it to try and soak it off but it's quite hard. Anyone ever successfully deal with this or will it just pop off on its own?

Are S1 fem seeds better/worse than regular fem seeds?I received a pack of freebie Violator Kush S1 seeds. I’ve been trying to do my research on my own but I’m stumped, are S1 seeds worth growing to smoke? Do they have lower thc content? There’s something about females growing pollen sacs to breed themselves? Very confused
