problems germinating seeds
why not just plant direct into the soil/pot they'll be growing in?
here's how i plant seeds...
1. get the highest quality potting soil available (read the ingrediants...check ph!)
2. fill 1gal pots with soil and soak with warm water (80f+)
3. make hole 1/2-1" deep (or the depth of the 1st knuckle of pointer finger)
4. place seed in and cover lightly...
5. wait...4-7 days and you'll have sprouts
do not water until bottom dries out but keep surface moist (as needed only) with misters to keep crust from forming..."hard watering" will disturb the delicate developing roots and affect growth.
disturbing the roots of any seedling can cause harm or death. this method allows the plant to be in one container through most, if not all of its veg cycle, or at least until preflowers show. by then the plant is rootbound and ready for transplant into larger living quarters...
