People like to use the shot glass or water method on here a lot. Hey just put a little water in a shot glass and drop the beans in. I prefer directly into the substrate. But the majority is the water.

Paper Towel dried up on me
Like an idiot I let the paper towel dry up while I was asleep, I'd say maximum 4/5 hours, as soon as I woke up I checked it and added more water but are my seedlings fucked anyway? They all seem to have opend slightly but yet to show their tap root. Thanks

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)?

Seedling died after not being able to open seed shell.
Anyone have advice on seeds that can’t kick their shells after germination? I wanted to try to help split them open with tweezers but didn’t want to harm the baby seedling inside.

Heat mat during germination
Does anyone use a heat mat when germinating autos? Is it possible for the heat mat to overheat the taproot as it pops out of the husk and into the paper towel? this may have been the case with my second seed. Thanks

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?

First ever grow/germination
Hello my fellow weed lovers 👋🏻. This is my first ever grow so any help or advice along the way would be greatly appreciated. I started with 10 Big Yield auto seeds, however 2 didn’t germinate and 1 died not long after sprouting. Is this normal or have I f**ked up somewhere? 😁

Thank you all for the feedback. With the next batch I’ll try the 1% hydrogen peroxide for 12-24hrs, but sounds like 7/10 is quite norm! I’ll keep you posted. Thanks again 🙏
