EVERTHING GERMINATING!

[smokewitme909]

Ok germinating is a big process on getting your plant growing at its full potential so i dont want to screw it up. Theres more then a few factors like:

the P.H. of the water your using,

The medium your putting the seed in

The condition of the seed
Etc.

So for all the professionals and experienced growers on the subject please post your successful methods of germinating the seeds.

I've heard scratch the seed lightly against sandpaper allows water and nutrients to get into the seed faster but im not sure if that would compromise the health of the plant.

Also should i put any nutes in the water for the seeds to thrive better?

I simply place in some wet kitchen/toilet roll. Leave for 2 or 3 days in a dark place. Then pot them babies in soil when split.
Thats all i do, nothing else needed. Quite a simple process.
Personally i never use any nutes at this early stage. ATB

I use rockwool or jiffy pellets. Plain tap water, (I have a well) 7.2 ph.

Some say to ph your water, but I don't agree that is necessary. Nothing wrong with going the extra mile, but not necessary for popping seeds. Once you have seedlings; I advise a ph of 5.8 for hydro and 6.5 for soil

Non nutes until plant has at least 4 alternating nodes. Then do not go over 400 ppm if watering in a tray. In Hydro I have always used ph water until I got nice roots shooting out of netpot. the I go to 1200 ppm. i use Dutch Master Advance Flower A & B, with Zone and Silica additives. Adding Max Bloom in flower
