I germinate using a single paper towel. Folding it twice. Wetting it. Placing my seeds inside. Folding over. Wetting again. Then squeezing the sides off, to drain out the extra water (making sure not to squeeze the seed). I then place that into a ziplock bag, and put it on top of my motherboard (the tower part of your computer) at the back, and place a black shirt over it. I leave that there for aprox. 3-4 days. I don't check on it, because when I put the towel in the ziplock bag, I squeeze out all of the air from the bag, before ziplocking it. Thus, keeping moisture inside. Within 3-4 days, I check the seeds. Usually, the paper towel is still damp. The seeds then have not only cracked, but the shoots (tails) are about an inch long. I then plant them in peat pellets, and place them under a 150 watt flouro. Once they come up, I shut OFF the flouro, and let them grow naturally. Taking care to water, when needed. Then, when the seedling has shown it's true pair of cannabis leaves (the pointy ones), I then turn back on the 150 watt flouro, and place it above the plants, as they can (by now) handle the amount of light and heat that it puts out. So far, my germination rate for the above method, has been 100%. I've tried planting when the seeds crack and only a small tail has shown, but I can never get anything to actually grow, doing this. But when the tail is about/exactly an inch long, I get sprouts within 3 days after planting, every time.
NeuroGheist Reviewed by NeuroGheist on . Cant Get Seeds To Grow!?!? i just cant seem to get any seeds to grow. Ive tried Dr chronics Trouble maker and regular bag seeds. its my 3rd attempt with zero growth and im getting frustrated. Here is what i do. i soak them in distilled water for 12-18 hours and then go to the paper towel soaked method. only one or two pop and show its tail. from there ive tried leaving them in there to see if it grows more but they dont, and ive also tried going straight to scotts planting soil. i put them in a cabinet with Rating: 5
