Iv just ordered some seeds and im using gh's rainforests. i dnt want to transplant my babies from soil to aero bcuz of all the stress that will cause them.
im curious to what methods you guys use??
rockwool?
rapid rooter plugs??
open to all suggestions

personaly i would germ your seend in paper towels first then plant them in a good medium either dirt rokwell or a hydro bucket.....if thier not fems i would def sex them and weed out ma and pops.....then i would just clone them.....once u have a good set of roots u can just drop them into a hydro system and do what ya gotta do....

but i do beleive that a rainforest system is a cloneing machine i thiink it hold 8 slots or something?

its a 6 shot aero set up kinda small i do 3 plants per rainforest and it works great.
iv actually started seeds b4 and as soon as the had decent roots on em i transplanted them from solo cups to a 25 shot aeroponic cloning machine. i did 2 regular strains and one fem i had all female results i was just looking to avoid the whole transplanting process. keeping things in soil until clone time would save me the transplant but itd cost time...

prolly try it that way this time. thank you luielugatz

This method has not failed me.

Take a pill bottle or something, fill it with a little water. Enough for a couple seeds to be submerged. Put the seeds in the water, in the fridge. Wait 24 hours. Try pushing each seed down. Floaters may be bad seeds. Put them back into the fridge. About 12-24 hours later, check them again. You may notice the seeds have cracked. You can put the cracked seeds into your medium. Keep the other seeds in the fridge until they crack. Check at the begining or end of the day to see what else you get to plant. Go ahead and trash the floaters if they don't sink.

I germinated mine in a paper towel, and after they cracked I inserted them into Rapid Rooter plugs and covered the hole up just enough to keep light out. They all flourished in the Rapid Rooters, and I stuck them in the RainForest exactly five days from putting them in paper towels, with roots coming out the sides and bottom. I just put some hydroton in the bottom of the netcups, set the RR plug on top, and filled in around the sides with more hydroton.
