starting new...need help

[tinytoon]

are the papertowels "wet" or "damp" you dont want wet you want damp. If you have had luck with sunlight it up to you I have never tried it

Cable box with towel on them may have cooked them beans.

Hope not, it's the way GF has been doing since day 1

Well it's actually on the DVD player and that hasn't been used, soreally no heat has been touching it... Day like 7 trying to get then to sprout and nothing so far but it looks like thy are about to start in the next 24 hours

let's cross our fingers

[dkm287]

alright, so over the past couple of days ive done some experiments with the seeds ive bought online, some seeds from a few bags of crappy outdoors that has been vacuum sealed into a brick, and a few seeds that ive saved from some high quality buds

ive got the seeds that i bought online on a paper towel damp with just water (ph is 5.8), ive placed that into a jar, put the cap on and placed it under my light

ive got the crappy outdoor seeds on a papertowel with the same water only with a few drops of miraclegro all purpose liquid plant food...ive also put that into a jar and under the light

in the third jar, ive done the same as the outdoor seeds, however ive placed a paper towel on top and underneath the seeds instead of just placing the seeds on top of the damp paper towel

its too early to see which method has worked better, but what conclusion i can draw is that putting the seeds into the jar is basically like a steroid for most of the seeds

i set everything up, went to work, 7-8 hours later several seeds have started to open up and expose the taproot

here are a few pics, has anyone tried this before? or have anything to say about this method?

if not, hopefully this can be helpful to some of you :clap:

Damp papertowel in sandwich bag usually works.

Wasnt sure if it developed the soil roots so left some in water til they taped..took 24 hrs and the roots did resemble hydro roots. seemed to take instantly when transf to a swc system.

constant low heat is key.

Good Luck :thumbsup: wish i could get my hands on some Afghani :jointsmile:

Hey Smoke if you dont mind could you explain the diff between soil roots and hydro roots?? Never knew there was a difference :wtf:

[dkm287]

interesting, please do explain the two roots!

[dkm287]

so heres what i have

ready to place in rockwool you think??

and also, why are these roots different colors? one is green and white the other is like brown and white?

[tinytoon]

yup they ready and no clue on the colors, I would maybe guess at genetics??
