I found the quickest way to germinate my seeds is the paper towel method, wetting the paper towel folding it over a feww times and placing the seeds in between the layer, or fold. But then what I do is I take that paper towle and put it in a lil ziplock sandwhich bag, close it up and put where ever. It's not really in the darkest place but the light really doesnt effect my seeds. The longest I ever had to wait for them to open and sprout was 3days using that method usually only takes 2. Hope that helps try the ziplock bag!
Saintlouie1981 Reviewed by Saintlouie1981 on . Help with seeds A friend of mine has just received the beans he ordered from Holland and he wants to know do seeds need light to germinate. What is your method to start your seeds off, he plans to soak the seeds for 24hrs in Ph water and put them into small pots with coco as media and then into a propagator. I have never grown from seed so i don't know much about it, i have done a search but i am really busy and i don't have the time to read at the moment. Thanks in advance. Rating: 5
