You can buy little windowsill greenhouses and add water to the tablets. They are condensed peet moss and retain moisture really well. The tops keep the moisture in and temperature up for optimum germination.

Jiffy Pots are dirt cheap, about $2.50 for a 12 with the windowsill greenhouse.

I also use the paper towel method with a twist. You know the electrical tape containers that are round plastic with a lid? I cut 10 paper circles to fit, dog ear 4-5 sheets, place seeds, moisten well and place in dark area on a heating pad on lowest setting. with this method my viable, stongest seeds generally split within 12 hours and anything over 36 is a wash.

put the seeds you would like to germinate, in a glass of water that has a top on it, fill 1/2 1/4 full. if it's city water let it stand for 8 10 hr's, the city puts a lot of shit in the water so we can drank it. all the seeds on the bottom after 10 12 hr's some times less, are the good ones, the one's on top "are on good." you will see the little white groth starting to come out of the seed, poor off the water and plant. pipper

x2. I favor this method also. 100% success rate so far on 15 or so seeds.

here we go again.the paper towel method is for amateur growers who through lack of experience and knowledge think paper towels are the way to go. Getting de ja vu here. There are no paper towels in nature for seeds to fall onto germ. So why do it with weed. Take1 jiffy pellet add water place in a propogator and hey presto a seedling! It aint hard. It cuts out any risk of damaging the delicate taproot. Had100 percent germ success using this method so far.

Just one last question then, to complete this thread.

when using the jiffy/propagator method.

do you put the propagator in a dark warm place or a light warm place like a window-sil??
