Ok, dampem some paper towls, so they are fairly wet, but not dripping. Put your seeds in and fold it in half. Its normally best to then put it in a big baggie, and breathe in it to warm it up a bit. Then close it all up and put it somewhere dark and warm. Like on top of a hi-fi or something.
BREATH INTO IT? you breath out C02 Plants roots need Oxygen ... I wouldn't put it in a plastic bag ..... Soke your seed 10-20 min in water (so it thinks it got a huge rain fall) take danp paper towls and fold it up in a crack of the towl with seed like this !()! the ! are the sides of the paper towl seeds running along it pointing along track of the Fold in the Damp Paper Towls... put in a dark place check every 3 days.... when shit sprouts plant into soil/hydryton/rockwool what ever your useing about 1/4-1 inch ... i usaly do 1/2 inch into meduim.... :smokin: Thats me But i think that plastic bag and breathing bad idea imo:smokin: GLQuote:

i have hear of tuperware but a plastic bag? if it does work than cool :smokin:
The reason i breathe into them is its warm, and keeps it warm/moist inside. Of course your breath has oxygen left in it...
And as soon as it sprouts you put it in soil anyway, so it wouldnt make a blind bit of differnce if there was co2 in it... since your opening it every day to see if they have cracked it would escape anyway...
Thats fine but do you relize you just proved your breathing into the bag idea wrong regardless? i wated you to say it hehe it worked you open it to check it so breathing into it does nothing ... just soke your seed and put in damp paper towl and that plunty moisture.... yeah you can seal it into something but that also does nothing differnt from just placeing in dark area:smokin: Your not wrong lip just doing pointless things =):smokin:Quote:

Fair do's man tho, what works for me might not always work for you...
Differnt ppl have different ways
Yeah, I also did that with my first seed that successfully germinated. I'm surprised to read that some one actually did the same thing xD, I thought I was just crazy.Quote:

"dank" if you will. Your breath is warm so it would do nothing but good IMO. Definitely wouldnt kill them.
Can people Read? Fact: seed needs to be in a DARK and MOIST place everything else is just a effort adding pointless acts into it. That was the point. quit miss quoteing me that it would kill the seed rofl......:smokin:Quote:

Nope.
