    Germination FAQ

    Ok, since I've seen many threads on here asking on how exactly to germinate seeds the best, this is what I've seen work the best.. For me atleast

    Step one, get seeds! As shown in picture number one.

    Step two, put the seeds in a cup/glass of water, and wait for them to crack. I don't find this necessary, it was more of a set back for me than anything else. As shown in pic number two.

    Step three, here is where you get sucsessfull. Put the seedsi in a paper towel, and SOAK the paper. After you've soaked it, wait until it's moist, or a little bit drier than moist. (NEVER let it get dry; but if they do, SOAK the paper and you might be lucky enough to see them live another day) As shown in pic number three.

    Step four, put the seeds in the soil. Use tweezers, and MAKE SURE the taproot faces DOWN into the soil. As shown in pic number four.

    Step five, wait until they have sprouted, and you are most likely of for a safe start in your grow.



    Good luck, and I hope this helped you all!


    Later, tahtah

    Yeah.. Offcourse that method can also be done.. But doing this, with good, fresh seeds, I've always had 100% germination..

    Germination FAQ

    There are lots of different ways to germinate. When planting a seed, the tap root is supposed to face upwards. Its supposed to curl up over the seed then back down again. The first thing you should see is a little loop of root/stem coming out of the medium. It then pulls the seed up and uncurls. See pics. It's different if you use the paper towel method though. The tap root seems to just come out straight most of the time. In the past I've then just planted it with the root facing down and the seed part level with the top of the medium.

    Germination FAQ

    I'm 99.9% sure that seeds are engineered to germinate in the way described by my previous post. I think it may allow more root to grow before surfacing therefore gaining more strength. I remember this from science class and a grow book I read a long time ago. Give it a go next time. You'll see what I mean. Plant the seed about 0.5 to 1cm under the medium with the pointy tip facing up. Can someone who has read a lot of grow books please confirm this and/or give more information. Zandor maybe? In the mean time I will see if I can get some pictures.

    Germination FAQ

    I know what homie's talkin about.. what i did was germinate a seed and grow it in a paper towel til the 1st node.. the root curls around like that naturally sometimes... otherwise it waits til its stable to grow in a straight line(up)..

    The method I use is this:

    soak the papertowel with warm water.. the water should be warm enough to have a nice relaxing bath.. NOT HOT ENOUGH FOR A SHOWER (u'll cook the seed).. the papertowl should be as wet as u said.. place the seeds inside the papertwel and ball it up VERY LOOSELY, and place it in a ziplock.. DO NOT VACUUM SEAL, let the air stay in there.. what'll happen is the pressure building up from the evaporating water will even out entirely inthe bag (incliding in the seed) and increase til the seed cracks.. after sealing the bag, wrap it in a shirt losely, and place it on a heater (not a stove, not a burner, a room heater).. the shirt will absorb the high intensity heat too hot for the bag (heater might melt the bag if placed directly on) and disperse heat evenly to the bag, keeping the paper towel warm.. 8 hrs u should see results..
