my 100% germ rate is over, MAYBE.......two fastbuds girl scout cookies autos, first two were fine, as usual - did what I always do (18 hr soak in my chlorine / heavy metal free filtered water, pop in paper towel under coffee cup, let taproot get at least 1/4", then i don't go too deep, just kind of cover it over
i think if you plant shallow you need to keep the moisture up in regular intervals so the shell softens, since you aren't getting as much friction from the soil, these kinda froze up after 2-3 days i was like wtf where they at? did an emergency shell removal and trying to get these puppies going - also gotta make sure the membrane dissolves as well after they show some sign of doing anything - you don't want to over fuck with them either. But the taproot was certainly longer than when i dropped them, so we shall see.

Does this go for all seeds? Like Autos or s
just photos?? my girl a gsc auto. im on day 2 since she popped up above ground with her helmet still on. She's in a h. dome. Should I be concerned. I was reading the thread and some1 mention about the seed not being deep enough. I know that was the case with this one. Anyway im here now "helmet on". should I give her another day or 2? Or take it off.

The key is misting it a few times over like a day. When the helmet moistens up, usually comes right off, by itself or with some light tweezing.

Yeah mist lightly .. if it doesn't fall off by day 2 .. out with the tweezers

I purchased a multi pack of tweezers from harbor freight which had 1 reverse tweezer. When you squeeze them they open up! This tool was designed for helmet head...

Put them things in water until you see the white tap route start to come out then put it in wet paper towel for A-day or so and then plant it about a quarter inch deep, IN DIRT!!

I just used my own spit to soften up and remove a stuck seed hull yesterday too. I don't have very high hopes, as it will probably be a runt. One of my solo cup contestants too!
