Grow QuestionsHow many seeds floated?

How many seeds floated?

AreDeeDubbleyouSeestarted grow question 4 years ago

I'm curious as to what people's experiences have been when placing their seeds in a cup of spring water as per Crop King Seeds germination policy. How many sunk and how many floated when you first put them in?

Occasionally you might get one that sinks straight away but I find most the time they float, after about 8hrs I tap mine with a pen then they sink and then I wait about another 12 hrs before planting the seed.

Most float as soon as you put them in - its because the seed is dry and light and surface tension keeps it afloat. After a 12-24 hour soak just give them a tap and they sink.

Is this Shell membrane crucial to life? Will this bag-seed Seedling survive?Will it survive? The seed was pried open with saliva and pruners once it broke soil. I see some brown (what I suspect to be) membrane that maybe needed to stay with the cotyledon.

winter indoor grow hi everyone, would you plant your seeds directly into the final 11L pot, or would you start in a smaller pot and then transplant into the final one? I’m asking specifically about fast-flowering seeds from SweetSeeds.
