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’da- 🌱

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.

Partial Germination. Help?Am I being impatient? These seeds only partially germinated. They stopped day 1 in the paper towels. It's been 3 days and they have since been in plugs for 2 of those days. What did I do wrong? Any and all suggestions are welcome. Oh I used filtered water.

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.

2 different strains in my first grow?Hey guys -- getting ready to start my first grow (3'x3' tent, LED, soil) and I'd like to shoot for 4 plants. I have seeds for two different strains. I'd like to go 2 of each, but I'm wondering if that's too much complexity for my first time. Any advice would be appreciated!

Germinated too many seeds. What now?I germinated too many seeds. I expected one or two to work and maybe discard one or two unsuccessful seeds. Now I have three successes (yay) but only have space for two plants. What can I do?
