Wet paper in plastic baggy - outdated dirty practice?

🚌

According to GD, the paper towel method has 100% success rate without user error. IME, your water source, medium source, and container source are all critical. Using a paper towel roll from in the kitchen or a napkin from a store? absolutely never. using some top shelf virgin cotton sealed as sterile in single use package imported from japan? sure. using water from your 8 stage filter or from the tap? never ever ever. Using bottled water guaranteed sterile? sure. Using a baggy from the kitchen drawer? nope. A box of baggies for seeds only in a sealed bag that you never open without a full wash then donning gloves. These type of improvements on the paper towel are where anyone can get the 100% success rate. I do get a bit over the top when I am popping something rare or valuable, but I greatly prefer popping in a cup of water and then manually placing the seeds into rockwool, tease the tap out of the cube with a heater, then right into hydro for the rest of forever until she is gone...whether that be a week or three years

The seeds from ukhta came with a germination kit which uses the filter papers as well I believe. But I still use the paper towel and ziplock method. It's how I started and I've just continued that way. I've tried other methods but didn't like them as well. The main thing with paper towel is that you need to separate it from the 2 ply so thats it's just one single piece, otherwise the roots almost always grow through the paper towel.

100% natural cotton pads, snitched from Miss makeup bag 😂 Cheap and perfect to hold moisture with air 😄

Gleiche Antwort, wie in deiner anderen Frage: Bester Weg um Samen zu keimen (innerhalb von 24h!) ist: ein kleines geschlossenes Gefäß (kleines Marmeladenglas mit Schraubdeckel z.B.), den Boden leicht mit gefiltertem (oder abgestandenem) Wasser befüllen - wirklich nur 1-2 Millimeter (so das die Samen halb im Wasser liegen und mit der anderen Hälfte über Wasser stehen), dann da 2-3 Tropfen Wasserstoffperoxid (3% Lösung) hineingeben, Deckel drauf und das Ganze bei 26-28°C für 24h stehen lassen. Durch den geschlossenen Deckel hast du 100% RH und durch das Wasserstoffperoxid genügend Sauerstoff im Glas. Wasserstoffperoxid zerfällt zur Wasserstoff und Sauerstoff im Glas). Die Temperaturen von 26-28°C aktivieren den Metabolismus im Samen blitzschnell und du hast nach 24h eine Wurzel, die im besten Fall schon 1-2cm lang ist. 👽
