Yea, wet it once, the seed [that are no good] usually show signs of rottening or mold before my water drys out lol, but yea ziplock back would be exactly the same....ive gotten like a 90% germ and from old bagseed even....other 10% is those seeds that are to old or bunk, which is usually 1 outta 5....hrm actually what would that be 80% then huh lol
SunnySativa Reviewed by SunnySativa on . Cup o' Water Germination Ok, so I keep seeing folks debating different methods of germination and I thought I would take the time to show my personal favorite germ method. When I first started out, I tried the paper towel method. TBH, I hated it. First, trying to keep the towels moist, but not too moist and then trying to extract the germed seeds from the soggy mess when ready was a real PITA for this particular grower. I don't remember where I first heard of the cup of water method, but I decided to try it Rating: 5
