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.

Germination struggle
I’m at a stand still in my germ process. The seed popped and showed a taproot, so I put it in my perlite. After a week, no change. I gently removed and put back into germ thinking I didn’t germ long enough. Am I dead in the water?

First ever grow/germination
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 🙏

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

Where to put taprooted seeds in rooters—near window, or in tent?
I just put my taprooted seeds into rapid rooters. Do I need to place these Rapid Rooters in my coco medium under my grow light, or are they okay near a window until I see the first leaves?

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.

Is growth normally this slow for seedlings? Any advice appreciated.
These 3 seeds (of 12) germinated March 19-21; I transferred them to coco coir/perlite soil under 40W full-spectrum grow lights I also use for garden vegetable seedlings. Lights are on 16 hours; off 8 hours, and the seedlings have barely grown in the last 10 days. Is this normal?
