seeds

I just soaked about 150 seeds and the majority of them sunk to the bottom after a few hours. I was told that the ones that sink have a better germination a rate. Out of the 200 hundred seeds soaked in the half full jar that I am using, how many do you think will germinate and be successful? They were older seeds and before I soaked them I made a tube out of sand paper and placed them in there to slightly scatch off a layer to help them absorb water better. I have done this before and it has worked with older seeds. Can someone give me some input on my endeavors?

Thank you in advance.

sounds like all the seeds will germ.R u doing a outside grow.200 seeds that will be alot of plant to maintane by yourself.

Yeah the germination rate should be fine. I'd love to know what you have in store for all of those seeds though. I grow with a close friend that lives nearby. We are growing about 30 plants in all (some indoors, some outdoors) and it has been a LOT of work. Good luck though.

Do you have your own business of selling sprouted plants? I can't imagine someone growing that many plants by themself without a field or an underground bunker

This just insures that your seeds are throughly wet so germination can begin. Also it really depends on how old your seeds are/where they were kept. Sure you get the random ones that survive the ages, but the bulk of seeds won't hold for more than a year or two. We've been trying to sprout a pack of Skunk (insert random number here) for a year with no luck. They get the same size every time, then die.

Well, I planted the majority of them. I figured that it would give me at least a decent ratio of plants. I planted about 120 of them on a plot that I own that is inconspicous to the general public....i.e. the perfect grow area. Out of the 120 I figure about 100 will sprout and 20 will be male. I want to yield at least 10 pounds and it could be possible....the dirt was very healthy.

there are all sorts of seeds

80% felmale? Did you buy femenized seeds? That is a high ratio? Some people get less then 20% female.

Just remember to pull the males as soon as they get their balls.


Best of luck.

I planted so many because I figured that only about half of them would sprout and a few more ending up being male.

In healthy plants with no hermy genes, it should be damn near 50/50 on males to females.
