The temperature of the ground completely depends on your local climate, time of year, even the soil type. Generally speaking, seeds do tend to germinate faster under warmer conditions although it is not proven to affect germination percentage. You certainly wouldn't want to heat seeds but warming them won't hurt and in some cases can indeed help.

Seeds very rarely have a 100% germination rate. Anybody telling you they get 100% success rates for germination is either exaggerating or doesn't go through that many seeds. There will always be the odd seed that doesn't germinate, even if they are stored properly and come from reputable brands.

fair enough. I am a clone person myself. I get 4-5 seeds of a strain, grow them all, clone the strongest. If i want seeds Ill colloidal silver herm a branch and seed another.

If you do a presoak it's important to pull them and put them straight into your medium as soon as you see the shell cracked open. The instant the seed has an exposed tap root it is essentially drowning. They can go awhile in the water but it's best to get them straight into your medium, especially with seeds that are already weak and slow growing.

Whether they crack or not they must be removed at 14-18 hours or 24max.

Your saying your response as for leaving seeds in water that long they die off if left in water for too long?is this from experience or read/trolling the net?just wondering?I'd much like to know.I'm actually doing an experiment right now.it's like I'm playing hide and seek with all diff types of germination ways I've read and heard and I set up one I think will work.will try to make a thread with pics but I'm not computer savy(really not)lol.anyway I'll try and hope it don't take forever.anyone read this and germinate or hear of a crazy ass unusual way to do let me know.I'll try to replicate as best as poss to see how it works.I know genetics-all seeds diff-don't really know age-etc..just for me and to tell anyone who cares to read.ALWAYS LEARNING .keep on growing. #ilovevaping

The last seed I planted worked great too
I set my pot up with the compost fully watered & then I waited for 24 hours for it to drain . After that I dropped my seed in tap water then I gave her a good poking until she didn't rise again (my usual technique
). I did this once per hourOnce she doesn't rise again I planted her. 3 days later she came
