I use The same method, and have about a 90-100% Germination rate. Putting them in the cup until they sink is just to soften the shell, but sometimes a taproot will start, I have came back a few days later and the root and seed are just floating in the cup.
CannabisCarl2134 Reviewed by CannabisCarl2134 on . Germination questions... I've had about 10 seeds laying around for 3-4 mos. (in a dime bag in my nightstand). about 2 weeks ago I decided that I'd try to grow them... I have a 1.5ft x 3.5ft x 4ft grow room covered with reflective mat. and about 2500 lumens per sq ft(fluoros). I tried the paper towel method first with about 5 seeds. after 2 days, nothing. Later I was looking around and found the cup o' water method (just drop the seeds in and let them soak until they sink), so I put 4 in and after a day most of them Rating: 5
