Yes. I find it really helps my germination rate!
I keep them in water about 18hrs, then into a moist paper towel for 3 days. Plant the seed, taproot down and wait. Another 3-5 days and ta鈥檇a- 馃尡

On older seeds, I'll always soak them in PH'd water for 24-48 hours. On newer seeds I'll soak em till they sink, usually 4-12 hours, and then do the typical paper towel method with a heating pad on old or new seeds.

I used feminized autoflower royal queen seeds for my first grow which turned out a success despite a few mistakes I made.
I collected some new seeds from that grow, falling off the plants. These seeds will be feminized as well, right?
No danger they are male? Thanks!Setup. Seeds

Or is that only when they show 1st signs of top growth? Thanks in advance.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Buon giorno weed doctors, please help understand the issue, maybe smb has seen this before. I lost two seeds of the same cultivar to the same symptoms...TYTwo seeds, same cultivar, 1 week difference, both pop neck bended with white woody spot at the base of one of the cotyledons. Doesn't spray the leaves, the membrane wasn;'t getting off w/o help. And I know it's not substrate - 2 other breeders germinated 100% and look healthy. TYSetup. Strain - Autoflowering
