He was a very large pot grower. He has left me with some very nice supplys and decided to try and continue on the traditon. I have not had very much experience with growing except from what i saw him and his buddies do. He has left me with 7 1000watt sodium lights, all with timers, heat controls, and reflectors. So my question is, he has a bag of about 15 seeds labeld white widow Rating: 5

I could never get the paper towel method to work either...just drop them into a glass of water and put it in a cupboard. Check every 12 hours until you can just see the root through the cracked seed casing. Should take no more than a day or two.

Here is a link to a more in depth explanation of how to do it :

When germinating seeds just put a cloth in a plate. Fold it in half and keep it moist. The warmer it stays the faster the seeds will grow (heat activates growth). Dont let it get above 95* though. Let dry seeds soak in glass of water and swirl them around hourly. I let mine soak for 3-5 hours and they open up within 48 hours. Some seeds are no good and there is nothing you can do... accept it. That hair you see isn't mold, Its normal. I have 9 2"-5" seedlings that have the same hairs.

Thanks for the info Earthy. Im glad im not the only one with hairy seeds.. ill give the glass of water thing a try and let ya know how it works for me.

I'd be interested in seeing pics. If the hairs are coming straight of the seed case then it actually may be mold. Get a gallon of water and put a cap full of bleach in there. That'll stop/kill mold if you DO have a problem. Good luck bud
