Germination question

[norkali]

...to clarify, using the P.T. method...

Looking back, for me, out of the last 14 seeds in soil, one was male, 13 were female.

Interesting.

I germinated 10 White Rhino seeds July 28 using the paper towel and tow saucer method. About 4 days later, 9 of them cracked. I put them into soaked rockwool cubes under t-5 flourescent.Its now been 6 days since I put them into cubes, still no sign of sprouts. I got alittle antsy and cracked some of the cubes open to check on the progress. Some of the seeds had not sprouted much at all while a couple of them had, Rating: 5

Of course, we can't tell now. I do personally believe though that the paper towel method will give you a higher ratio of males; simply due to stress. It has been theorized that higher levels of stress on a plant will lead to higher ratios of males to females. Lets compare numbers....how many of your last 10 (non-feminised) seeds have been female/male?

...checking my records....I did better germinating directly in the soil....much better....M/F % wise. Go figure?
