Grow Questionshow did i germinate the seeds?

how did i germinate the seeds?

CarGuyGrows217started grow question 4 years ago

I placed a paper towel folded twice into a zip lock bag and put 1/4 cup of water into the bag and let the bag sit, slightly open for 2 days and then checked for white root taps. they were big enough for me to put into dirt on day 3. popped out dirt in 2 days as well

It worked so your method was successful. I have had some trouble with rot from too much water with that method. Now I soak seed in water for 24-36 hours then plant in soil. But, I'm a soil grower and have more experience controlling soil moisture so I'm more comfortable doing it that way. The important thing is you got your seeds to germinate so you are off to a good start.

That or I have had a lot of luck using a cup of water with seed covered in dark. For germination it needs water, pinch a warmth, and darkness. 24 hours then place in substrate. Then put a dome over the area keeping it moist. Leave dome on till seed husk is free of plant. I usually have a sprout in 3 to 5 days from dropping in water. Good luck and congrats🌱🌱🌱🤜🤛

Seemed to work fine congrats! Good thing you kept the bag a bit opened so you didnt ,,drown,, them. Just a tip if you are unsure how to Germinate and so on just put them into the Soil like Nature does (works just as fine😉) Have a nice grow!😊

3/6 seeds not coming above ground After two weeks of having seen sprouts coming out of all 6 seeds between paper towels, I've only seen 3 come above ground. Should I wait just a bit longer, or carefully clear away the direct and check what's going on? Maybe they're growing upside down (had it once before)?

Overzealous seed!Anyone else ever have a seed sprout inside a paper towel? It was less than 48 hours (I usually check at 24 but was busy) and she had busted out of her shell. For a while now, Ive been using a paper towel and placing them on a running light for warmth and have had amazing results

Any prepping before planting germinated seeds Is there anything that can be prepped before going in soil? Do the soil need any nutes before being planted? Would solo cups be best or 1 gal pots?
