I used to go into a bigger pot but I like that they dry out faster in the smaller pot after watering. I'm like to let lady jane to keep a balance between dry and wet. I usually go till they pretty damn dry but I'm on a watering schedule that's strict so I water 2 times a week. Once with nutes, once with ph'd water I just use enough water to get a little runoff. Seems to work for me as long as my temps are correct. I'm indoor tho.

I like popping in water once they crack they to in papertowel on plates. After a half inch tap root I poke a half in hole in soil with a pencil put my root in leaving the top half of the seed exposed ..they lift off in hours.

That's what is funny is I hear so much about planting/germinating seeds. I was told once going into a paper towel is 8th grade shit and I'm stupid. My response was well I notice my garden is thriving and ur garden looks like shit. I've seen well known breeders use paper towel in a plastic bag, so to each his own. I go shot glass usually 24 hrs till tap root then straight into peat pellet. I'm a fumble fuck and I'd be scared I'd fuck the taproot if I had it any longer lol.

Worste effect I've seen from my method post tap root is helmet head but a little warm water and a tooth pick and the shell comes right off after 10 minutes of spraying it

I have snapped numerous tap roots out the bottom of jiffy pellets and haven't seen one die yet. Usually happens when I peel off the netting. I'm not condoning the breaking of tap roots by any means lol just my experience tho.

That 8th grade shit is the bullshit, hell Doc does exactly like what you are talking about paper towel into a ziplock bag standing up vertical so they pop as they would in the medium. Shit works, and where I come from if it aint broke dont be trying to fix that motherfucker

either I go straight into soil or I go into paper towel inside a clear dvd case standing up. They usually do fine, just depends on what mood Im in. I only do soil due to less handling, but hell, if you are careful its a good idea to go into water, then pt, then soil like you are doing daloudpack

My theory ( which I'm sure i didn't come up with it and it's pretty commonone ) is seeds have there own biological battery..they have so much stored energy and once that energy runs out they need a recharge from lights...so when I root my seeds I feel like most of that energy is gone by leaving the top of the seed above the dirt line and roots buried I know it has access to mucho energy plus I can keep an eye on progress.. I can't stand a buried seed it drives me crazy not seeing it make progress lol I'm checking on it ever hour I'm lifting the cup and staring at it lol it's horrible

Those where his buffalo og I think. If he is comfortable putting 25$ seeds in paper towel then I can do it and sleep like a fucking baby. I won't deny I wake up like 5 am and first thing I still do in my boxers straight from bed is check my baby seedlings then into the tent to check on the girls.
