I always started my seeds dry, then changed to 'pre-soaking' with paper towels a few years ago ... I recently went back to starting DRY seeds (ala Mike of Mandala's advice) in rapidrooters, and have gotten my fastest germination with those (4 days in a bubbler setup) ... a lot less chance of 'damp-off' pythium-wilt, starting them dry, too :thumbsup:
They are Loving Life!!!~~~~Great Job Bro!!:thumbsup:

thanks.
I place a dry seed ('pointed' end down) into a 'RapidRooter' plug, which is then placed into my homemade bubble-cloner ... first 2 days dark, then gentle light for a couple more ... easiest seed germination I've ever seen ... :jointsmile:Quote:

one of the Sour Jacks has been developing stem-rot :wtf: ... the other 12 seedlings are just fine, a bit puzzling why this single plant has it (stem-rot is usually caused by a 'too-wet' situation in soil grows) ... here in my bubbler, she is no wetter than her surrounding plants ... to play it safe, I painted her stem with hydrogen peroxide, also adding some to the reservoir ... I will let her 'disinfect' for 24 hours, and then do a reservoir change, just in case it's something fungal ... just thought ya might want to see a good example of stem-rot ... best thing about having too many plants, in too little space, is not getting upset when 'shit happens' :S2:
Never saw one of those, by the time i got to this part of the post, i was thinking of making something like it.....but now i see what it is, VERY nice thing. You get that set up at a hydro store? i got to get me something like that.....is it just for hydro? or are those pellets going into soil?
Thanks for posting the pics of the full set up.
great grow you got going, great variety too!
I made the bubbler, about as simple as drilling a hole ... go back to beginning,and read the posts ... I built it for cloning, and discovered it's even better as a seed starter ... a couple plugs will go into hydro-buckets and the rest will be transplanted into soil ... :jointsmile:
here is a more detailed bubble-cloner setup thread of mine :
