So you're saying the sprout fell out of the seed shell??
If Yes, its fine.
If the head of the sprout broke off in the seed shell its toast.
Probably 50/50 it got clobbered. Soaked for 24 hours in water then near 60 hours in the PT ballooned in plastic bag. Usually 24hrs in each and it’s popped and I plant. Life gets in the way sometimes.You'll know if it's okay in a few days.
Next time skip the paper towel and just plant the soaked seed(s).Probably 50/50 it got clobbered. Soaked for 24 hours in water then near 60 hours in the PT ballooned in plastic bag. Usually 24hrs in each and it’s popped and I plant. Life gets in the way sometimes.
my seed supplier says do not put in a plastic bag as it needs oxygen.Probably 50/50 it got clobbered. Soaked for 24 hours in water then near 60 hours in the PT ballooned in plastic bag. Usually 24hrs in each and it’s popped and I plant. Life gets in the way sometimes.
I’ve popped maybe a dozen with the method used by Mr GreenJeans using the damp PT in a ziplock bag blown up like a humidity dome. I’ll usually cycle the air the next day checking if it’s popped in the PT.Next time skip the paper towel and just plant the soaked seed(s).
Or just plant the seeds like in nature.
It has O2 as described above. I use a Quart or Gallon ziplock. Supplier probably doesn’t want complaints the seeds didnt thrive cuz I see many complaining they had duds which most are likely due to new pilot error.my seed supplier says do not put in a plastic bag as it needs oxygen.
You are over complicating it man, im sorry but you really are.I also have seen comments it’s better to pop the seed in a medium which is what the PT is serving as, than have it happen in an ocean of water, sink and no O2. Drowns?
Wrong, I soak 12-24 hr in 5ml 3% HP to cup water, then to paper towel soaked in same solution, in zip lock on heating pad set to 80F, in 1-2 days tap roots form & I put in Jiffy pods hydrated in same solution. I USED to go directly into Jiffy pods after soaking UNTIL I got burned having seedlings growing upside downward & petering out before turning around & reaching surface, better to sprout first & get the tap root pointing right ways down from the get go in pod IMO.my seed supplier says do not put in a plastic bag as it needs oxygen.
Exactly, I have also made the mistake of planting too close to surface, helmet didn't rub off in soil & also got too leggy above before forming a root base below, killed whole batches of seedings, embarrassingly not long ago this way. I don't think a full half inch in a pod is necessary if sprouted beforehand but a little below the top of soil.I have found that if I don’t bury the seeds but a half inch into the dirt and provide enough roughage to help aid in the removal of the seed cap, I will have to do it manually. Hope this helps
Yeah , but in nature a lot of seeds die & some survive, to save the cost of losing pricy seedlings I little human intervention helps.You are over complicating it man, im sorry but you really are.
Soak the seed(s) 12-24 hours in a 70/30 mix of water/h2o2 and plant it in the grow medium.
Or, as in nature just plant the seed!
All the extra steps you take arent needed.
I will agree to disagree!Yeah , but in nature a lot of seeds die & some survive, to save the cost of losing pricy seedlings I little human intervention helps.
Looks fine.It has O2 as described above. I use a Quart or Gallon ziplock. Supplier probably doesn’t want complaints the seeds didnt thrive cuz I see many complaining they had duds which most are likely due to new pilot error.
A couple sprouted today. Maybe we’ll see something tomorrow on the gorilla plant.
