Anyone germinated seeds in coco coir?

[buddha webb]

Im fed up of paper towells and keepng them damp/ moist.Glass of water.I see no reason why couldnt soak seed for 12 hrs,and put in wet/moist coco coir,bury about 5mm under coir and spray with just water,should be good ,anyone do this or maybe tried it.Thankings.

I scuff my seeds and soak them covered in a coffee cup in room temp water for a day. So far I've cracked 6 out of 7 seeds, 5 of them are doing great.

There is no reason why you couldn't go straight to coco.

I have done it but I prefer to see it sprout in a paper towel before I plant it.

I don't use the paper towel method anymore, just seems like an unnecessary step to me. I just drop them in rockwool cubes or dirt and let them go. I use rockwool for DWC because I'm afraid the seed will drop down through the hydroton all the way into the res if I don't, if it weren't for that I'd put it right in the medium. I don't see why coco would be any different as long as you keep it moist.

I just tossed them in a glass of water for a day and every one opened up.

24 hrs in water all popped,24 hrs in soil coco coir 60/40 first leaves cotyledons out and first leaves out.Love coconut coir.

Everyone a different strain too! they pop quicker in the tropics,but 48hrs from seed to seedling is very quick,very very quick.I think coconuts may be magic!

yeah your right,just habit with the water overnight.Coco coir/Soil mix has given me an amazing increase in yield,and cloning with it is icredibly quick.
I will pop my next seeds straight into pre light fert coco next time.You Scottish?
