If you're gonna grow from seeds, watch this first. Save yourself from common seed growers' problems with these four tips.
The last one will make things so much easier for you, especially whe
n it comes time to transplant.
I'm 60 years old and I've known about and used the paper towel method back when I was about 15 years old, back in the 1970s. In fact I was germinating some seeds and didn't have any paper towels and I used toilet paper in a shoebox and it worked just fine. Back then the good stuff was usually called Columbian gold and Acapulco Gold, plus Hawaiian was also considered really top shelf. Also there was weed called sensimilla, which means no seeds. This is common today but it was a lot less common back then. The science has just advanced a lot over the years.
I do see a lot of usually young guys saying that the weed from 30 and 40 years ago was much better than what we have today. This is false and I know it is because I lived through that era. We did have some good stuff but trust me, it is much more powerful today from the selective breeding. The good stuff from today is derived from the good stuff we had back then. Well that's my history lesson for today told by an old dude.
Thanks for sharing!
Never change old man
The stuff I grow now compared to what I grew almost 20 years ago is unbelievable. Growing indoors compared to outdoors blows my mind. So much more control on the grow. Still love outdoor grows, but so far my indoor grows produce better buds with less effort.
@@merledonoho9766 growing this plant is a helluva lot easier than getting rid of the Creeping Charlie in my yard. That is my old man experience that I’ll contribute to the conversation.
@@actionjksn dead on brother.
Small beer fridge for seed storage. Been doing it for 25 years works great. Pop seed in soil the best way, my opinion.
Great idea
Seed found in permafrost in Siberia was popped from thousands of years ago. I agree with cool dry room.
I just finished a grow from a bag seed from a flower house sfv og jar. It took nearly 11 weeks to flower, in my experience, but has the most trichomes I've ever had. Really beautiful. Goes to show you don't ever know. Watch each card you play, and play it slow.
Nearly same here...
Just finished a grow with a 15 year old bagseed and it became a amazing plant
Seeds are my favourite way to grow you never know what you have to the end good day scotty ❤
love the video scotty the radicle is a word i have not heard people use since the 90's memories bro
😂
Love collecting beans but I generally pop 2/3 of the pack and keep a few for the collection 😊
I store my seeds in an air tight container with silca packs inside. Then in the fridge veg drawer.
How long you been doing that?
@@DAVEITTERLY about 4 years now
The silica will draw out the moisture and oils out of the seed and that's what keeps it good and vial. It doesn't degrade in potency or potential of the plant it either is a good seed or a dud!
Just popped new seeds! Perfect timing for my grow! Doing my first run with Autos and Growdots and Recharge
Awesome! share your grow over on realgrowlab.com
@@ScottyReal420 I will
Buy a pack ..pop only one ..5 years later..i got $thousands of dollars worth noe😅
I’m a seed guy and I don’t have any infestations. 😂
Top of fridge perfect temp for hatching them beans
true!
Ya kno a lot of people complain about the paper towel tech cause root growing threw the towel this isn’t a big deal just tear around and plant with the paper towel it’s no big deal it will degrade same with cotton pads just plant the paper with seed
Prop the paper towel vertical so tap root forms perfectly straight down. Never place paper towel on flat surface.
@@Jmystro 🫡 it’s the simple things isn’t it 🤣
@@junkinstein2856 So true. Keep it simple and let gravity do it's thing like it would in a pot.
I put it in the dirt. Maybe 1 out of 20 didn’t germinate
I have never had a root run through a paper towel it’s my favorite germination method
I just popped some Ethos, Lemon berry and Mandarin cookie
Ethos has been great, been running their stuff for past few years
same I popped cherry gar is ya ,purple sunset, then just got jelly donuts popped and blueberry cupcakes I just got in so will pop today to start a mom.ethos Colin has amazing genetics and know him and where he got a lot of strains. top of the line
I live in a hot humid zone so keep my seeds in the fridge. To germinate place in water with couple drops hydrogen peroxide to pop tap root no longer than 48 hours in water. And use paper towel method but place seed between paper and bag and place face down on top of fridge with a box on top for darkness. Leave another 24-48 hours tap root should be 1/4” to 1” long. Then plant into medium. I also use the clear solo cup inside a red solo cup to check roots and moisture. Cheers! 😙👌🏼💨
On my 3rd grow, all from seed to soil, lost 1 seed this far and all healthy plants. Autos and photos.👌 🎉❤
Same here. Straight to soil. I make a little wet ball of Potting Soil with my fist, put the seed in that, then right in the fox farm 5 gallon. 4/4 so far. Autos.
I used to do the paper towel method and it worked very well. But now I just float them in a small jar and put in dark cabinet, it's working for me, easier tp check their progression. Thanks for the flick thanks for sharing Scotty!
I do the same as Scotty to store seeds.
I keep them in a tool box in my basement. Never gets above 72 down there.
With autos I use the 3-4” peat pots. Once the leaves have grown well past the edges of the pot wet it and score it up good with scissors before putting it into a 5-7 gallon.
They last around 10 to 15 years after that only a couple might pop out of a couple hundred. I just put that to the test. Lucky two seeds popped so this Maui C4 strain lives to see another day 😎😎😎 almost harvest time..
Great info guys! A trick I use is once you got em in a ziplock I put them on top of my water heater just enough heat. 👍✔️🌱😤🤤
Mine are in freezer for a few year's. And i pop them regularly. Put in pill jar and wrap in dry paper towel then freeze
CANNAKAN!!! It’s great for popping seeds. And just a regular guy came up with it so you be supporting one of our own. Check it out follow rules useing it it’s simple. Scotty might get a code to get percentage off. If not I know couple utuber’s have one
Just germed 3 purplmatics in mine for the 1st time I love it
Even in germination mode, the seed needs air. Also, toilet paper works best. A couple of tissues of tp. pour warm rain water on a shallow plate, let the tp soak and pour the excess out. put the seeds a square inch apart between sheets and cover the plate with tin foil. on room temp, it will hold moisture for the 3-5 days it takes for the root to come out. Cut tp rolls in half and squish them to shape the roll into a square. bury the root with your desired soil mix, leave the seed above the soil. You can put these square half tp rolls as many as you need on your tray that has as tall edge as the half tp roll. use a squirt bottle turned to mist for watering. when moving the plant to your grow pot, bury the half tp roll and the plant up to the cotyledon. This works outdoors, indoors, greenhouse etc. tp can also be used with hygro systems, the lift pump needs a filter though.
I keep seeds in a tin NASCAR Stock Car in the computer desk. Each seed gets a shot glass of RH water with a couple drops hydrogen peroxide. After a day or so I’ll put it in a paper towel and pour the water over the towel and put in a zip lock in a dark place. I haven’t had a seed not germinate, seems like the easiest part of growing seeing as I’m batting 1000
Keeping seed banks are awesome, they like tiny time capsules that saves genetics to strains and proper storage is important if viable or for bad times of disease or problems or grow falling out of productivity. Seed plants make the best mother plants or bigger production to flowering. Another thing after 7 or more generations of cloning out the genome of genetic diversity drops out or turn recessive or mutation etc. Another important thing is breeding to rebuilding quality to the strain genetics or furthering a particular traits. Good show God bless you and thank you for your passion for such beautiful medicine miracles plant and information sharing. 💜🌴 I keep flower garden seeds or harvest seeds or save next year of vegetables garden and flower gardens beds or crossing flowers too or nice to propergate yard plants too. Cheers 🍻
I got seed socks. Black sock are autos, white sock are photos. Recently did an inventory and I got 30 beans of 9 different strains.
Start the seed in the soil or grow medium and water what is so alien concept about that?
I have started in plugs, started in water only, in paper towel and in solo cups and three gallon pots for autos. No problems with purchased or bag seeds. Oh yeah, cleaned seeds out of a bag in 1971 and tossed them out my back door. Those popped as well but it was military base housing so….
I got a seed vault also😊
(1) ich mache das immer so dass ich meinen Clone immer 10 bis 12 Stunden in einem wasserglas lasse und damit der Stängel sich vollzieht. Und auch aushärtet ein bisschen damit er nachher nicht abknickt oder fault.
(2) Clonex root gel🎉 Vorsicht krebserregend für die Haut und nur ein kleines bisschen unten am Stängel . pH auf 6,2 und dann nehme ich einen ganz wenig von meinem PK 13/14 von hesi
Ausgezeichnet!
Before I pop each seed, I travel to a forest in the upper northwest to collect enough dew drops from Redwood trees to soak the seed 18-24 hours in a shot glass. After no later than 25 hours, the seeds NEED to be spread out on a paper towel and placed in a plastic bag. Within 2 days, taproots! For optimal results have the plastic bag blessed by Tibetan monks wearing DGC merchandise shamelessly. Been doing this for years.
It must bee a micraculus experience
@@DAVEITTERLY ever since I found recharge, I don't need the Tibetan monks.
I like this method 😂
I keep my collection in the fridge. I do have a supply of 30-40 yr old bag seeds but havnt been able to get any to pop. Ive tried peroxide/water, roughing up shell with sandpaper and no luck at all.
Tried extra warm soil? 80-85f.
@@tedgunderson67 no I have not but thank you for the suggestion! I will definitely give it a try!
Keep my spare seeds in my desk drawer at room temp... Kept seeds for years before and they popped. Scotty is right don't put seeds in the freezer that little bit of moisture will pop the seed
I think pulling them in an out could cause issues
Hi Scotty ❤the show. Hey man the last 2 years I just put seeds in straight tap water in a shot glass half full and stick them in the cabinet, worked every time so far man even one I forgot about that was taking a while to pop that Taproot got so long and brittle it actually broke in half and that plant is doing great blueberry muffin. Looking forward to more content thanks again buddy
I know this isn't on the topic of seeds, but I gotta share just in case this helps another noob, especially someone with bad eyesight like me...
You guys, just in case someone out there hasn't heard of these, instead of using one of those handheld loupes, I found one on amazon that clips on my cellphone, for like 7 bucks, I can use the whole screen, zoom in 60x and take pics of my trichomes! Now I KNOW, thanks to Scotty's advice, my Black Diamond is reallllly close to taking a trip to that other tent over there... I'm seeing wonderful deep tans and coffee-type colors in like 40% of the heads.
Also someone should tell the noobs what the blue light is for on loupes?
I will definitely be growing Black Diamond again, I think she's adorable, beautiful plant just to look at! And , I understand she is considered one of the fastest autos?
Anyone else ever try BD?
I do 3 steps. .
Step 1 shit glass with water drop seed's and soak. For 12 to 18 hour's. I tap the floater to see if it sinks.
Step 2:If it sinks it goes to paper towel inca small plastic box and and material that blacks it out I use old sock pieces.
Now I'm Adding your step adding Dyno mycho on the seed.
(Thanks for the tip)
Step 3: I put my seeds in my light for warmer temp. With the winter sock I get insulation.
And wait for a tap root to be atleast 1/4 inch.
Step 4 :plant in media put done in it wait for it to pop out of the ground
Then take the dome off.
Thank you Scotty real.
And the other dude.
It must hurt to shit glass but the rest of your seed germination sounds OK.
Great vid and timing. About to begin my second grow !
Good luck!
I put my seeds in a mason jar of water and when they pop, I plant them in place. No up potting.
Seeds add adventure I looked for a pheno I heard existed in a certain strain I liked!
It took me awhile to get it! In fact I got in the male form! Which I crossed with my female I had for years!
First thing I did was make a shit load of seeds using that male!
Still growing out for results! I have clones of some of my favorites too of course! So I
always have something ready! seeds are a unknown. I have seen both negative and positive results
But when you cross a winner in your own home! What is better brother!
You need stable genetics which is becoming harder and harder to find since everything went legal?
Certain strains are good for crossing and making seeds, practice practice and some more practice!
Seeds refrigerated in Tupperware with a jell pack is the way a lot of people save!
I have germinated 10 year old seeds many times that I stored!
But if you make your own seeds you just make more from the stored ones!
Just like vegetables and any other herb a lot of people use there older seeds to make a batch of newer vibrant ones!
I store mine in black bags in the crisper drawer
Freezer works fine seen some pop from 86 till 2023
I am with you all the way
Yep there's a reason they build seed arks in very cold places👍
Once in the fridge or freezer, do they need to stay that way until popping? I imagine they can't go back to dry storage.
@@weareinflames from what I've read yes. Once in the freezer keep them there until popping for best results
@@weareinflames The seeds need to stay dry at all times. I store mine in their packets inside a couple of ziplocks. I do keep them in the fridge until needed as going from a cold environment to a warm environment is like springtime in my mind.
You should do a review or test on different under canopy and side lighting systems, comparing the results and efficacy. The only content creator that has made a video about UC lights is Terpy highs, I'd love to see results before getting any.
I tried the water method and all 4 of my seeds germinated. I bought some distilled water from the grocery store. Filled a solo cup most of the way. Put my seeds in there. Placed cup in a cool dry dark room for about 3 days. Just pulled them out of the room and they all had amazing tap roots. I just gently potted them up in some soil mix.
It's wild to watch a seed crack an show it's tail
We learnt the paper towel method in primary school, with broad beans, when I was 5 or 6 y/o.
me too.
I use a wash rag, sprinkle about 10 seeds on it fold it over on a plate, soak it with lukewarm water and put it on a shelf in the closet, check every day by feel the top to see if its drying out, open it up about 4 days later to see progress. Work great for me.
I keep mine in air tight black containers in the fridge and use dissicant packs in container,popped seeds over 5 yrs old with no loss.
I use a mask (unused, leftover from COVID) to hold the germinating seeds in, in an old tobacco tub on a seedling heating mat. Works pretty good.
I usually germante using the paper towel method this run I put my seeds in rock wool and sprinkled recharge on the bottom of the rockwool.. I grow hydro and wanted to c if the recharge would help with root development in hydro, it works beautifully. My roots are bigger thicker then when I didn't use recharge.
I was off on my timing of getting auto outdoors. Live and learn. Was trying to give them the best start then put outdoors. But life and weather got in the way. Should of started them later or sow outdoors.
Some of my autos are stunted here this year, too. The storms this year, eh? Tomorrow again!
keep em in a cannatrol, or a thermoelectric wine cooler. Or even one of those little beverage coolers.
Thanks Scotty. Great tips. Soon as I pop seeds I am thinking clones too. I always have too many clones….. but that is to ensure the best two get potted for the next run. I can never throw the others out. Greenhouse bound unless I can find homes for them. Durning winter I just put the solo cups into the bloom tent. Why? I don’t know guess I am just weird lol. Just got done harvesting GG4. Harvested a little earlier then I like but needed the pot. Just shy of 9 weeks. Two weeks her clones can go into bloom tent. 😁😁😁
🙌
I got a Skywalker x Ripley's OG from Mephisto going (week 2 starts tomorrow) that I wanted to specifically try grow dots with. I've not got feeding down so I'm hoping they'll help the plant more than I could if I was feeding it myself.
I put my seeds in like a shot glass full of water for about 12 hours and then tap on it to see if it sinks, if it doesn't I give it a few more hours. I've heard that can tell you if it's even a good seed or not. If it does sink I will either just go ahead and plant it or do the paper towel method until there's a tap root. I'm about to try a root-on-rock cannabonsai so stunting the plant is kinda what you gotta do. I'll be trying it with an autoflower so I tried to use one with a longer growth cycle. I've been stocking up on seeds, mainly auto's so I had plenty to choose from. Triple G
I use my light for heat to pop seeds, works very well. When transplanting autos i cut the bottom of a biodegradable solo cup then they sit on top of light fluffy coco so tap root can go beyond solo cup. You have to be gentle when raising solo cup for transplant as the tap root will break easily.
Water is also the only thing that will float in its liquid form in a solid state. Everything else sinks. Weird stuff that water!
floating ice makes life on earth possible. if ice sank the earth would be frozen solid
I've used the double cup method for other plants, but I never considered using a clear inner cup to monitor root progress and to avoid getting root bound. Also I might try out some of this recharge at some point.
rockwool is nice
I store mine in a cooled humidor. I am keeping them at 54 degrees
I use to use shot glass with capful of peroxide / tap water soak 24 - 48 hrs then switch to paper towel / bag -
however I recently switched to useing a CannaKan - I will use this for life - 48 hrs I was putting seeds in dirt.
MENDO suggests seeds for outdoor.
More aggressive growth.
😎😎😎
I love the ritual of planting a seed and daydreaming about what it'll look like. Haha
I use a nice Cigar humidor for my seed collection.
Nice!
I keep any seeds im not using right away in the fridge as it makes them think its still winter, i start them in cups and transplant up to the bigger pot when ready, but for autos I start them in cups and within 7-10 days i then transplant into whatever size pot i want to finish the autos in
I like to soak the seeds for 24-48 hours in distilled water with a little bit of hydrogen peroxide. Then plant them in the dirt about 1/4" deep. Pack the soil down gently. Mist 10 sprays 2x per day to keep moist not too wet. (use a humidity dome) Seedling should sprout in 2-5 days, maybe more so be patient. You don't need the hydrogen peroxide, but it helps soften the shell on older seeds that are more stubborn to germinate. If you don't pack the soil down the seed can move around and might fail. Also, if you don't plant it deep enough you may get helmet head when the seed remains attached to the seedling because there was not enough friction to bust it off. This can be removed carefully, but it's easy to damage the seedling as the membrane can be firmly attached.
For storage, I'm at room temperature 72-75 F. I'm thinking about using a wine fridge which would store at about 55-60 F
Also the wine fridge may be an option to store and cure buds. 72-75 F is not optimal for preserving the terpines.
The paper towel method is quicker but only by a couple of days, but is risking damage when transplanting into substrate because you are touching and manipulating it at its most vulnerable. Personally I get the same germination success with both but don’t mind waiting 1, 2 or even 3 days longer for peace of mind, and in the scheme of things, 3 days added to an overall grow is offset slightly by the fact that the seed that went straight to substrate has a more natural start and is in a better position at the point of germination.
I keep my seeds in the fridge, inside the packet they came in and inside a couple of ziplocks to make sure no moisture is getting anywhere near the seeds. I think keeping the seeds in a cold, dry environment will prolong their viability and slow down the rate at which the seed embryo consumes the stored food within the seed.
Best germanation is in that CANNAKAN just cant go wrong it has never failed me. And don is the man i purchased just the cannakan & he sent me everything great company run by great people. Grab yours today!!
I like that getting the beneficial fungi started. But what exact paper towel ( Scottie(?)). But then obviously the tap root goes under the soil, but the shell type casing goes above the soil? I can only tell you there is somethin' goin' on in these high dollar strains worth trying.
I keep seeds in freezer in sealed bags. Ive used em for 15 to 20 years and they always germinate. Seeds can live for 15 plus years.Ive seen
2 squres a tp wet it drop seed pop in a lil ziplock in the dark ..4- 5 days ...works everytime
I used seeds this time and it is late June. Now my plants are 4feet for one and the other are 3 and 1/2 feet tall.
I only keep my exodus cheese cutting. Still breeding her save all my pips in plastic sealed pots and store them in zip lock bags inside a huge smell proofe zip lock bag in a box in the fridge. Have decades of hybrids. All have a cheese in ha ha my favourite is my strain I call rotten beef stew because of its smell in veg.its a fat indica that grows a foot tall only and wide. It's a mix of old skunks.
Spending up to 6 months give or take from seed , of course I take clones to avoid regrets later. I only have 1 chance if seeds are rare or hard to come by. Cheers to you all❤
I've kept seeds in an old pill bottle in a storage closet, and they last a long time.
Wow mr cloner talking about seeds
I store my seeds in a wine cooler....60 RH and 60 F.
U r deadon!
Just put the seeds in a small cup of water and put them in the cabinet for 3 days then once it develops a tale fill a solo cup with soil and create a hole with the tip of a pencil and then sprinkle some microriza in the hole and put it in taile down and cover with a little bit of soil then put it under a light and water it with a spray bottle and after 2 days it pops up and just keep watering.
Popped a seed that was over 40 years old. Storage was a plastic bag in an old suitcase. So ultra dry but no temp control of any kind ever. Tried to pop a five pack of less than ten year old seeds and got 0/5.
I do know if ppl can't check the roots in a solo cup. They can determine it's ready for transplant when it eats fast. Bc the roots filled out the cup and suck that stuff dry 😊. Correct me if I'm wrong thanks
IM A CLONE ONLY GUY 😊. NO TIME FOR SEEDS ANYMORE. Thanks scotty, 👍 hi-c 😊
As weird as it sound finding clone for me is harder than finding seed but i would love to try some days !! I started grow weed for about 3 years ago and gad damn it freaking take too much time i need to find a faster way !!
🖐
growing mother for clones, is awesome.
use a Window
Fresh Clones are too slow and unpredictable
And normally wither away before rooting.
Seeds all the way
@@JaSon-wc4pnrooting gel for the win!
my thought process is that a seed is more susceptible to pathogens / viruses / mold / fungus when they are germinating, so I've been using a water/peroxide mix just to kill off any microbes in the first 48 hours. But then I drop them into media and first water with a little bit of something like rapid start or recharge.
The millennium seed bank which is a facility to store every seed in the world recommends storing seeds in vaccum packs at -20.there are a number of these "arks" storing seeds below freezing point. Clearly they wouldn't do this if it was going to destroy the seeds for future use, just saying🤷
preserving seeds like that is done in a scientific method and is not just throwing the pack in the freeze with all your frozen food.
I'm not waiting 1000 years to use my seeds though....
I’m fresh from seed I soak for 12 hours n straight to soil then what don’t come up I put others down in place I use to do paper towel trick but I cut time out by just going straight to soil
Once the seeds drops in the water it’s soaked up what it needs to go in the soil then I use a turkey baster or a 10ml medical syringe and add just the slightest amount of water over the top soil or what I like to do now is use the pump sprayer n go over it lightly till wet then I have cups from Amazon they have clear done 4 inch nursery pots I use those till I see first set of leaves then it comes of to adjust to the room it’ll be in veg for time as it moves up to 3 gallon forever pots finish out
Great show guys!
Thank you!
Good job scottie
Is STRONGLY recommended CANNAKAN! Its phenomenal!!! 🤜🌱🤛
Hey Scotty, just got the Grow Buckets 🪣. Can I use the Royal Gold Tepur mix? Also, would you recommend filling the bottles with the clay balls prior to putting in my soilless / Coco mix? 🤔
So im 32 ive been growing around 12 years i do outdoor and o work woth people who only like clones and it wont compare to seed i put ny seeds in soil and grow organically and at least one monster plant in my yard every year bit indoors is a different beast and its more work with more technicallitys
Bagseed is 50/50 either eh oh fire asf w nice visual features. Branded seeds you get your hopes up standards are set high. Clones if you find that strain with exceptional terps and visual features
I do refrigerator because I heard that’s the reason we have northern light #5
Store my seeds in the bags they come in. inside a cardboard box in the crisper section of my fridge. I live in a very hot country. this is the easiest way. 10yr old seeds stored this way where 95% successful germination/grows.
I just ran fat banana 🍌. 5 seeds, $85 skins . Auto's. 2 didn't pop. 1 plant awesome nugs, other 2 totally larfey shit.. That's why I'm sticking with clones.😊
If they werent autos you could have cloned the 1 worth keeping🤔
@@TinyTim-wp6jn definitely would have. It was awesome 👌.
That's one of the negatives of the Auto's: can't clone, so if some seeds fail you can't make it up with more clones. Also had one seed that bloomed like a champ and another next to it that had buds but very leafy. Decided to make hash rather than smoke the leafy one.
Paper towel method for sure Sirs. Scotty I just go with feminized seeds , I have had a male pop from those though. Love the clones also, them girls are top heavy though without that tap root.👍💨✌️
Speaking of Seeds, has anyone ever heard of Royal Queen Seeds? Are they any good? Do they have decent genetics?
For good genetics try seedsherenow.com
@@ScottyReal420 alright thanks a lot will definitely try them out for my next seed order
Yes, they are good! NASC is a great place to get them.
A basic seedling heat mat raises the temperature 10-15° F above ambient, so unless you're trying to germinate seeds in a very cool environment these can actually result in worse germination. There are models with built in thermostats, so if you really feel the need to use one get one of these, but for the average home grower these are unnecessary imo.
Can you guys please tell me if I can flip my plants early using ext veg grow dots? I don’t always want to wait 8-10 weeks of veg. Thanks
If you close in a zip lock AND use a heat mat you’ll pressure cook them never fully enclose a liquid on heat
Hey Scotty, I've started my first grow, got several different strains germinated already, put em in Solos but didn't soak the seeds with Recharge. Is it too late at this point to use it on seedlings 2 days above the soil? Also hoping to find one of your vids where you give multiple ways to use Dots and Recharge. Thanks much!
its not to late, give them some Recharge! For the best info on Grow Dots and Recharge join the community over on realgrowlab.com
Using solo cups I plant straight in a no nutrient soil 1/4in deep mist good then cover with another cup (misted) to keep moisture in. Then just keep moist until she pop's. The least handled the better plus dont touch with fingers especially stored seeds! The oils from our hands hurts the seed and will degrade faster. The outside skin like substance is what keeps the natural oils in the seed to keep it alive and once that outer shell (skin i call it i guess idk) is damaged it will slowly die. Ive never liked the paper towel method or water soak. What happens when you leave something like that out, even just water alone collects germs and other contaminates within hours so thats a big No for me but whatever works i guess 😐 Grow on 420 Fam!!
Half cup to cup filtered water and a shot of hydrogen peroxide left in a dark room temperature area for 24 to 36 hours and always had a 100% success rate and used to do the paper towel method but I noticed I have way better success literally never had a seed not pop using filtered water and hydrogen peroxide
I agree. I do exactly like you. Damn near 100 percent
Hey, uh, sup... About seeds... Yuh, I , er, yea I got seeds, and I don't refrigerate or freeze them, I keep them in a safe, on the floor in my basement suite. I figure I've got years of growing fun to go!.
