33% germination rate...Breeder issue?
cnkicestarted grow question 5 years ago
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?

Hi there!
It can be genetics and they just were very easily shocked/killed but to me this feels more like something you did if all of them sprouted but they died afterwards.
I've seen seeds that growed only cotyledons and no root at all etc. so there might be still genetics related.
When you are transferring those seeds to the new system you want to keep the environment as stable as possible 'cos temp/humidity changes and pH/EC changes in water might shock or even kill the fragile seedling.
I always like to let the seeds be in the paper towel until I see the cotyledons forming and transfer then, by doing this I think they are more developed and therefore maybe can handle more handling and changes

The temperature was 75-80F consistent. Plug was moistured but not saturated.
I placed the plug in a solo cup and covered with paper...😱 I know I shouldn't be using paper but I don't think this is why they died...
Will reach out to Seedsman.

How was your temperature while germinating? I had some seeds refuse to until i put the heating pad under the bowl(papertowel) or the cups(peatpods).
Some seed companies have a guarantee of 80% you could try to reach out to them?

Definitely not normal. On a side note after u sowed the seed with the tap root. Where did u put the plug? Those plugs hold very little water and dry up fast. Best to put plug into a humidity dome after u sow your seed. Mist the walls close it up. Lock in that 80-90% rh(relative humidity) wait to see sprouts ... happy growing and stay lit fam.
