I seeded some buds from a plant I harvested a week or so ago...and yesterday I look at the pot of soil ((which I had moved near the outside door,,ready to recycle in the garden)) and lo and behold....there are 2 little seedlings tiny,,stretched as all f--k..trying to live,,no,, living... I've re potted them in seedling mix and put them under lights...
Ganja is an amazing plant with a very hardy nature...I LOVE her

Between two wet paper towels, put in a ziploc bag, put whole thing under the cable box where its warm. Germinate in 3 days. Works every time.

or you can just stick with the 100% tried and true natural method of putting them in the dirt and watering them.... works for me and nature...

Two ways i've tried and had good results from both, take a paper towel wet half of it put the seeds in, fold the dry half over. put it in a plastic baggy and put it under a cable box, mave sure it's not DVR they get to hot lol.

And another one is, just put some water in the bottem of a cup and put some seeds in the water and this method only took me about 2 days.:weed:

seriously... again ill say this.. you guys have fucking OCD for planting fucking seeds...
i dont get why nobody doesnt just put them in the fucking soil like they are meant to be,lol ive done that with all my seeds and all have worked.. amazing how if you do it how they are meant it works flawlessly...

STEP 1 place seed in wet dirt and keep at 80 degrees, wait 1 week max
STEP 2 relax

once i reached the conclusion that growing pot was no different than growing anything else, i was actually able to grow some bud.... point being, you're right, there is no need to complicate an easy process

waiting for a tap root to be exposed under water is more risk of it drowning in the early stages

I put my seeds in a cup of distilled water and leave them in a dark place for a couple of hours. Make sure to submerge them under the water. Chances are they will float back to the top but will sink eventually. Check seeds every couple of hours until they crack. Then (making sure not touch them with your hands) put them into your medium. I usually start with peat moss pellets. Place the light within an inch or two and wait for results. DON'T OVER WATER!

absoulotely no need for this method especially if using peat pellets and a propogator and you dont give the planted seeds ANY LIGHT untill they lift above the pellet/medium.
seeds require total darkness to germ.

WOOHOO! I just germed my fem cheese seed. Greenhouse seeds. Put in cup of pure water for 5 hours, patted it with a finger let it fall to bottom of cup, put it into a paper tower in my clone dome on a plate with a bowl overhead. temp 28c, lots of humidity, climate controlled humidity meter broke, then 12 hours later saw taproot and into wet rw and back into clone dome. Taproot down. Gently drew the edges of the rw hole almst clsed but not all the way.

presoaked the rw, then dried completely, then redipped in pure machined water (the kind you pay a quarter for) with horticultural food grade H202 and 2 drops of superthrive per gallon.

Wish me luck.

paper towel folded in quarters, damp, in a ziplock, in a dark warm place, wait 2-3 days. works everytime.
