Hi!!

I'm about to germinate my second batch and I'm just wanting some opinions on the best ways of doing this. I had a few hiccups with the old paper towel method last time, i tried the leaving them in water for a couple of days and it worked really well but something seems off about doing it that way.

well you could lay the seed on the dirt or whatever your medium is and just water it until it cracks open then push it d.own into you medium bout a half inch.

you can just plant up seeds directly into pots and germinate them in soil or whatever. Also there are rockwool/peat cubes/pellets which also work just fine. However, I've tried them all and I always have a higher success rate with the paper towel method.

if your dealing with bag seed you'll almost never get 100 percent germ. oh and if the seed crushes when you lightly pinch it toss it, i pinch all my seeds first

thanks, tried the pinch thing - decided to go with the paper towel again just coz it seems to be the most popular. does it take much longer if you germ them in the soil??

for best results use one or two drops of hydrogen peroxide and half a cup of water and drop ur beans in there. they should pop over night.

PEACE

I use a folded paper towel inside a ziplock bag inside of some light proof container. IMO the key is getting the right consistent temp. Shoot for around 80F

ive also heard of putting them in the paper towel then ziplock wrap in foil and have it in your pocket for the day use your body temp, ive done this before worked quite well, kinda felt like a mother carrying aroung my babies, but i was a noob and they all died sad day.... lol

Paper towels are for people who know Fuck all about growing, get jiffy pellets and put your seeds into them then put the jiffy pellets into a propogator. Put them in a dark place and they will come through in time. My last batch of seeds were above soil within 2 days of planting. What is the point in paper towels? They mean you have to handle the seed with the taproot exposed and prone to damage. Fuck that good seeds cost money, may as well give them the best. 100 percent germ success so far using this method.
