I love that Walter! Those are bushy! :woot:Don't try too hard... Volunteer seedlings in the compost pile. These germed in early April at 6500ft. It's been below freezing almost every night since then. View attachment 400380
Wow... and it's been freezing at night?? She's a hearty little girl isn't she...
cup of water then in dirtHi Farmers ! I would like to know how everyone likes to pop there seeds... I usually scruff up with a fingernail file ...soak in bottled water..as soon as sprout shows ...into a paper towel ..sometimes in a baggie in dark cabinet or on something warm ...cable box ..top of coffee pot.. etc... recently have had problems with trying to pop older seeds... even tried hydrogen peroxide... I have lately been making my own seeds and have noticed they need to sit close to a month to have successful popping.. So please all experts chime in with your secrets !!! Much Appreciate... M
I like your setup, clean and smart....i sow my beans directly into moist coco in 9oz solo cups with a second cup taped up top as a temporary humidity dome which gets removed as soon as the seedling emerges from the coco.

...oh, and Medusa, i also scuff some of my beans, not all need it, but i use an old trick with a small, empty box of stick match's and a small piece of 200 or 300 grit sandpaper, you just cut the sandpaper to fit into the box, then you put your beans inside, close it up and shake shake shake, lol.

peace, bozo
What I do is,a scratch then into water and superthrive for no longer than 20 mins,then right into coco in a half cup in a heated propagator,then once they break soil I take the lid off,very rarely will a seed not sprout,unless it's not a good seed to start with,what I will say is theirs many ways to do it so really its what works for you,76Oh yea and I have also had bad luck with the small rockwool cubes too, they dry out really fast after a certain point.
Peroxide is a must what ever method. Germ rates are WAY better. Keeps things clean.
Don't pop seeds with out it.
