I would appreciate any input on a sure fire way of germinating some good beans. I have been cloning with great success but for some reason I have the worse luck starting fresh. Put it this way about a year ago I wasted 13 White Widows that never germinated, I then moved to some feminised God...started with 12 and only had one gernimate which actually turned out to be a great plant, have been just cloning this strain, and growing them in Grodan, hydroponically with extreme success for the past year and want a little change. I had tried all kinds of techniques but don't know which is best...Do I soak them for 24 hrs prior to germinating or no soak at all?
I have tried the paper towel method but they usually turned black and died. Someone mentioned Jiffy pots so I bought some. If I do this method do the Jiffies go on top of a heating pad or no heat...light or no light? Actually, let me add this...the paper towel method did work for me on one bean but I had to manually crack it, in retrospect I should have cracked others to see if it would have worked. Anyone heard of cracking or scuffing prior to germinating? As u can see I have heard of a bunch of methods but this is the first time for me to post this on this forum(all the info that I have gotten on this site has been the best!!!) These Beans are expensive and I don't want to screw them up. If it helps they are C-13 from DNA. Thanx everyone!!!
