Any ideas as to what to use for germination aside from a paper towel? Just realized I'm all out... and they need to come out of the water

I put mine in water then in coco. No paper towel

How about straight into your preferred substrate?

I've been putting the seed straight into coco in a little hole about 3/4 to 1 in deep, then covering them with a little piece of Styrofoam so I can lift the lid and peak. Batting 1000 with this technique.

You have to water slow so the coco doesn't cover the seed.

The paper towel is just good for a bunch of seeds or if you don't want to prep any medium before seeing if the seeds will sprout. I'm on board with what Thejoeybrown and Farmer P said. Throw them in a small amount of coco or your medium of choice and they should germ up fine. I've done it in shot size solo cups no problem.

In the beginning I used to drop them straight in the dirt

I also use the plastic shotglass, got the idea from the Gnome.

1" deep? I accidentally buried one too deep last time (not even 1") and that thing went full potato and started growing the wrong way

I did have one start to grow into the wall in the side of the hole, but I moved a little coco and fixed it easy.

1/2" should be perfect with the pointy end pointing upwards. This way shell stays in the medium.

 

[Farmer P]

Three little styrofoam covers and one cut from a solo cup. All work fine.

 

[MW7945]

I'm not much of a drinker so don't exactly have shot glasses on hand... closest thing would be the small medicine cup things. I'll just throw them in solo cups

 

[sixstring]

Lots of people just germ in whatever they will be growing in.put em in the dirt!!

 

[MW7945]

Yeah, I did last time but right now only one taproot is showing and I prefer to not pop them in until they're all out. But, I'll pop them in coco I suppose.

It doesn't have to be a shot glass. Just a small amount of coco, or soil in a small container. Even small rockwool cubes do fine. That way you're not preparing excess medium in case a few don't sprout which is essentially why people do the paper towel method first.

 

[MW7945]

The guy I got these seeds from is a real piece of work so I don't have the highest hopes in general, but I'll give them a shot.

I always direct sow my seeds (no paper towels). The rule of thumb for any seed is plant 2x as deep as the seed is tall. So, if ur pot seed is 1/8"....plant it 1/4" deep
