    Default what's your prefered germanation method ?

    hello RIU

    Just got my seeds, what's the best method of germination?
    Ive had problems with the kitchen roll/paper towel method before, and lost some expensive seeds.
    I also have a heated propagator. should I use it?.
    should I keep them in the dark or give them a light period?
    should I pre soak?
    thankyou potheads.

    Moist paper towel in between a saucer and cereal bowl and placed on top of the cable box. Works everytime. Moist not soaked, and maybe a light spray if it starts drying out. Tap root almost 100% of the time within 48 hrs.

    I done this before only when they did germ I moved them into to a seed tray with baby soil. they all stopped growing and died.
    I was thinking the less I play about moving them the better.

    Take your seeds and soak them in water for about 12hr over night. put them into moist seedling soil and cover with a few grains of soil. place a flour tube just over the seeds to help keep the soil warm. if the top soil starts to dry use a spray bottle and give only one or two shots to wet the top soil. I used the paper towel method but once the roots start they get stuck to the paper and hurt the young roots when you try to plant. This is the best method I've found to germ seeds.

    sweet stumps I was thinking the same thing.
    should I start in my big pots or work my way up?
    Heated propagator, would this help?

    I start in solo cups then up to my growing pots. that way I can use the spray bottle to water. I use the same watering with the bigger pots but use a pump sprayer. I don't know about the heated propagtor I've just kept the light tube on them for heat. It could work I just don't know.
