Well lately i've either been having very bad luck or my germination method has somehow gone sour...i'm gonna give you a run down on my process and please offer some tips...i usually soak seeds in water with 1 part peroxide and 5 parts water on top of my dvd player for some warmth...seeds usually develop tap roots and i pull them out of the water as soon as the tap root shows and place them in plantation seedling soil in a germination kit (bout 2-3in. of soil, in tray covered with dome, on top of germination mat...generally leave the lid on but will vent it occassionally to allow oxygen...well this used to work in the past but lately hasn't...i soaked 10 Nirvana White Rhino and 9 showed tap roots and were put in soil...3 days later and only one has broken through...i had this problem b-4 with a pack of Mandala's and figured it was cuz i didn't follow their instructions (they advise against pre-soaking and humidity domes)...any tips? I've had great success in the past but my last 3 packs have had the same problems...maybe one or two break thru the soil and the rest never do...i'm very gentle and don't believe i'm damaging the taproot (use tweezers and am very sterile)
