Tips on getting just a sprout

[alwaystrippin]

ok everyone i got some seeds i got off a friend who sed he had crystals on his 6 week old plant....so i got about 10 of them of him

I live at home and i dont reall have any place im willing to leave a plant and risk it but im gona try sprout them at least and mayb leav it in the bushland near my hous where i had my previous unsuccessful crop.

Im pretty unsure on how to start the germination cause last time i did the whole moist paper towel thing and it didnt work at all....what to do???

if the seeds are brownish or darker then they're good if they're yellow/white then they won't germinate, soak them in fresh water till they sink then wet a paper towel and place them in there and place in a dark warm place look there every day or twice a day till they start popping, then place in your soil

yer thats pretty much wat i did hey, and the seeds are of good quality i know, they are a nice green with dark green streaks on them rite.

I put them in water, some sank some didnt, so i put them in the moist paper towels and put them on the top shelf of my closet (a good place??) and kept the paper towels moist and for 2 weeks nuthn happend

wtf how hard is it to sprout seeds?

This is what most of my seeds look like within 24 hours

is it a warm place the warmer (not hot) the better, sometimes if the seeds are old they take longer to germinate

YOu know ... the metod that i use it putting the seed inbetween a moist cotton ball....and placing that cotton ball on a small saucer plate with another saucer plate on top, and wrapping it all in saran wrap to keep in the moisture. I then keep the saucer in a dark cabinet, and w/in 24hrs to 3 days, it sprouts everytime. It was a technique passed on to me by a growing guru, and it's worked every single time.
