Well people on here usually want to learn, and you were unaware so I told you. Weed growing is as easy or as hard as you want, like anything in life
Well people on here usually want to learn, and you were unaware so I told you. Weed growing is as easy or as hard as you want, like anything in lifeIf weed was that hard to gro I wouldn't gro it. I already do 10,000 things to get a great plant, I'm sorry I missed one. Lol.
Can you explain?You are leaving the plants beneficial microbes on the paper towel
Ok explain.Can you explain?
I've never heard of it before and is the method I use so I'm interested in learning more.
My theory is : by the time them seeds get in our hands, they've been handled, fondled enough that there long gone.Can you explain?

Your right I never did here of microbes on a seed.You never did tell me what microbes ?
I normally have a sarcastic mouth. Lol. Don't take it personal. I appreciate all you guys on here. Most things I agree with.You guys are tough ! But, if you weren't I wouldn't be here. I appreciate any comments.
Looks very wet maybe overwateringI planted 6/6 seeds 10 days ago give or take expecting 1 or 2 to die, because we ALWAYS lose seeds.
Last grow we were able to keep 4/10 alive. Sadly it looks like this grow we're going to have 2/6 alive.
We treated them all in the same conditions. Placed them in an incubator, kept at 80/80. Two sprouted out the second day.
The rest hadn't moved by day 7 so we dug and inspected. There were some taproots alive and well and we re-set them, but I think we may have drowned them.
I put them in a carboard box to dry the bottoms hoping they'll grow down and pop up, but is that likely after 10 days of nothing?
We ALWAYS have bad luck with seeds dying in droves. We can grow beautiful plants, but oddly it's this one thing we can't figure out and it should be the simplest.
We once did the paper towel method and gently put them in moist soil.
We once placed the seeds a fingernail depth in a pre-wet, but not dripping, pot of soil.
Every. Time. We lose a majority of our seeds which are really expensive and we're thinking of switching to cloning our plants to make it easier, but I'd still like to know.
Does anyone think these seeds have any chance left?
My plants in their dome under a full spectrum low wattage SpiderFarmer LED.
Watered with distilled (dehumidifier) water at 6.4pH, 80RH, 80F and Photone to measure the light to 12 DLI like it should be at this stage.

Does anyone have any recommendations, tips, or a YouTube video that will help a simpleton get a high success rate with seeds? People in Discord are telling me they're getting 90%+ survival rate so it's obviously my fault.
You never did tell me what microbes ?
Funny. I must have said ten times how I do it in the last 2 days. 100 % success rate.Looks very wet maybe overwatering
The microbes that its mother left in/on the seed. It varies unless the seeds are from the same female plant. You can't know exactly what without a lab, the variety doesn't really matter because every seed comes with the microbes it needs so it can start farming them, wherever it ends up sproutingYou never did tell me what microbes ?
I read a lot about it since I talked to you, and I'm still confused .The microbes that its mother left in/on the seed. It varies unless the seeds are from the same female plant.

What do you mean by farming them ?I read a lot about it since I talked to you, and I'm still confused .
So, what your saying is microbes affect sprouting ?What do you mean by farming them ?
Agreed, the best way is to learn to read the plant.another thing if you haven’t been using that junk to measure everything you would of learned by your mistakes but you want to believe in “tools” to help to grow,.. get rid of ph crap, light meters etc
Exactly. The only tool I have is a thermometer, with a humidity guage.Agreed, the best way is to learn to read the plant.
So germinating a seed on a paper towel takes these microbes away? Does soaking them in water the whole time wash them away? Would germinating directly in the soil be the only way the microbes stay?The microbes that its mother left in/on the seed. It varies unless the seeds are from the same female plant.

In my opinion no.So germinating a seed on a paper towel takes these microbes away? Does soaking them in water the whole time wash them away? Would germinating directly in the soil be the only way the microbes stay?
I have 100% germination rate with soaking for 12-16 hours then paper towel, will I see a difference in how my plants grow and/or harvest if I change germination method?
