this is how i do it but there's different ways:

1) evaporate the chlorine, the way you said, a quicker way would be to just boil the water rapidly for about 5 minutes and then let it get to room temperature before using it...

2) fold a few paper towels in half. pour the water over the paper towels, i find that you can nearly drown the seeds and they'll still germinate, but don't completely soak the towels.

3) place seeds on one side of folded paper towels, fold the other side over the side with the seeds gently, don't smush it down b/c of suffocation

4) you may have to wait more than 24 hours, but just check ever-so-often. keep these in a cool, dark place (in a drawer/closet) while the seeds try to germinate. KEEP THE TOWELS WET! if it dries, the seeds won't have the initiative to pop open. some seeds can take days and days to germinate.

5) once you see that the root has popped out of the seed, dig a SLIGHT finger-hole in your soil...place seed there, and sprinkle some LOOSE soil over it. don't worry too much about water here, just make sure the soil was moistened before you put the seed in it

6) wait, and wait, and maybe wait more...by this point, the sprout will take root and the other side of it will begin to grow UP, against gravity, it naturally finds its own way up...you should put your lighting on it now...

or you can just put the seeds slightly below the surface of the dirt, keep it lightly watered, and they'll do it on their own in the dirt, saves a lot of steps...just keep the soil pretty loose (don't pack it or push down on it).

that should get you started...
jadeius Reviewed by jadeius on . Germination Techniques... I have been trying to germinate 5 PokKushXNebula seeds for about a week now and they are being very stubborn. I have them soaking in a glass filled with room temperature water but so far nothing. Is it possible that this strain just takes an absurdly long time to germinate or are there other ways i can get that tap root to start emerging... thanks! Rating: 5
