i drench the towel and just give it one squezze ,put my seeds in the towel then in a plastic bag,then cd case,i have tails before the towel can even think about drying out,i put the cd case next to my direct tv box and most time i have tails next day,
u can go simple and just go straight to soil as well...no worries just keep them moist
I put mine in a glass of water for about 30 hours. Then dumped water and popped seeds onto a paper towel (I drained the standing water but did not ring it out) on a paper plate. I folded the towel over the seeds and put another plate upside down on top of the first one, and put it under my humidity dome on my propagator, which is on a heat mat set at 80*. I added some water to the drip tray for humidity. As long as condensation forms on the dome, you don't even need to add more water. Had inch long tap roots in two days. Piece of cake.
you can leave them in the shot glasses till they crack... Even a lil longer, till the root is poking out..Ok so I tried dropping 5 Kritic7o . I used a couple drops of peroxide and water in a shot glass and as soon as they started a went with the paper towel and plates after a couple day went to a cd case but nothing grew after a week. I ditched them . When I went to cd case I didn't understand I needed to put paper towel in a bag first so I just kept trying to moistening it.
Now I have 4 shot glasses with 2 seeds in each. Auto Speed Bud, Purple Ryder Auto, Auto Ripley's OG, Girl Scout Cookies Auto. 30 hrs in:
Speed bud sprouted & I stuck them in peat pod in tray under dome with heating pad under.
Others are still in water in shot glass. Should I get them out before they crack?
NOW What? Is going to the peat a safe bet? Or with me having the dome set up Would you?
1.Put them in a wet paper towel and let it lay like that in the dome?
2.Put them in a wet paper towel and put it a bag and a cd case and stand it like that in the dome?
For anyone that stops in that doesn't know me I had a room full on my first run but had to about 6 weeks in to flower do to my house being broke into. Those were photo's and my germination rate sucked probably less than 50% but I had 20 for 20 on cuts. I probably lucked out I had a great grow and killed nothing but seeds.
Why are you putting peroxide in the water? If you are using it as a disinfectant, the chlorine in your tap water is sufficient. I would suggest skipping the H2O2 next time and I bet you’ll have better luck.Ok so I tried dropping 5 Kritic7o .

Probably on my recommendation. How is the h2o2 harmful?Why are you putting peroxide in the water? If you are using it as a disinfectant, the chlorine in your tap water is sufficient. I would suggest skipping the H2O2 next time and I bet you’ll have better luck.
I also forgot to mention in my last post that I did not have the light on during the process. After a few days under the dome they went straight into a 70/30 coco/perlite mix in a solo cup. Then I turned the light on. I watered them twice a day with a 5ml pipette, in a circle just around the seedling until they could take a full watering. Good luck.
I don't know about harmful, just unnecessary in my experience. There are some studies to support its useful for chemical scarification. However, they don't really know how the molecule achieves this. Which may lead to varied mix ratios. The one I found is 1oz of 3% H2O2 to 1 pint of water. I'm not sure how that would translate to a shot glass and a few drops of H2O2 (3% or 35% food grade) but I think with such a small sample of water, it would be all to easy to over mix the H2O2 and cause plant death. My suggestion to omit it next time was based solely on the "keep it simple" philosophy. Not that it's necessarily harmful. That being said, by no means am I discrediting your experience if you have had success with it.Probably on my recommendation. How is the h2o2 harmful?

I believe that drowning is the leading cause of seed failure.Put in a glass of water until you see a tap root tail.
Not to be augmentative, but I havent lost a one to drowning..I believe that drowning is the leading cause of seed failure.
No doubt brotha, just trying to see where you were coming from. I had problems with damping off early on and this helped me with that. Now i know that was from keeping things to wet down low but the extra protection was nice anyhow. Like a safety blanket lol. I'll be the first to say that im by no means an experienced grower, just sharing whats worked well for me so far. But i couldn't agree more k.i.s.s is the way. The tough thing in cannabis advice is there is a ton of diff way to do things and people want to be helpful. The trick is to sift through the info, find what spunds right to you and trial and error til you find your way.I don't know about harmful, just unnecessary in my experience.

Same here bud. I found the longer i soaked them ( up to a point) the better success i had.Not to be augmentative, but I havent lost a one to drowning..
And I even left them in there so long that the tail was over an inch..
I dont know bro..
Deff not trying to pick a debate with you..
And I respect your opinion.
And I mean yours specifically..
I have some experience with malting barley, which involves a soak phase.Not to be augmentative, but I havent lost a one to drowning..

just curious cause im not a big seed orderer, but is mandella seeds out of Africa?I have some experience with malting barley, which involves a soak phase.
Mandella Seeds specifically instructs "direct sow, seed on side" as customers were drowning entire orders and complaining about it.
I soak seeds too (on occasion) but I wanted to put this warning against drowning.
Aeriating the water can reduce risk.
