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?

I’ve been getting the white fuzzy mold on my freshly popped seedlings after I put the in new HP pro mix/earth worm casings soil. I use a little rooting powder but other than that nothing else. I plan to pre spray next time with neem oil. Will this help with the mold/damping off?

first grow
Hello. This is my first time trying to grow marijuana. After checking the main root with the paper towel method, I buried it with tweezers about 8 mm deep in coco medium. Right now I'm using very little fertilizer and just watering with pH adjusted. The light is 30 cm at 25% power. I'm going to wait a bit until it sprouts from this condition. I am worried if there are any problems witHello. This is my first time trying to grow marijuana.

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?

Seeds dried out during germination?
If your paper towel is dry for a few hours while the seeds are germinating and they’ve just cracked is this bad? Will they bounce back? I watered them straight away when I saw that the paper towel was dry.

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?

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
