Simply soak the wool in dechlorinated water at the desired PH for 24 hours. After 24 of soaking your free to pop a seed in there, take some cuttings, or do a transplant what ever it is that you are planning on doing with the wool ☺️

Cotyledon leaf falling off an autoflower while seed husk is falling off
Has anyone ever had a cotyledon leaf fall off of an autoflower as the seed husk was coming off? One of mine did from my sweet mango auto. The 2 first "true" leaves are present and seem to be growing. Just wondering if it will be heavily stunted because of this. Converse away :)

Blätter gucken aus Samen ohne Stamm?
Ich habe 3 Purple Punch Samen gekauft. Eine hat eine es nicht geschafft nach 9 Tagen die Wurzeln aus dem Samen hinaus wachsen zu lassen. Aber diese hat bereits die zwei runden Blätter entwickelt ohne Stamm. Liegt das an der Qualität des Samens oder habe ich etwas nicht beachtet?

Hey guys, my GSC seedling is about a week old. She had some problems getting rid of her seed head, and I managed to fully remove the seed coating and membrane just over 24hrs ago. Is she a write-off? It’s not looking too good

How long to wait before giving up on germination?
Still waiting for germination. A part of me worries that I buried the seeds a bit too deep (ended up probably closer to 3/4"-1" deep). However I know these things can take time so trying to be patient. What is the longest you would wait for a seed to sprout before giving up?

Preventing bucket heads ?
How do you prevent seeds from getting a bucket head upon germination? I've never had it happen before this grow, but it happened on both seeds this time and I'd like to prevent it in the future.
