Sannies 3/3...Killingfields put out a smell I could not tame so I yanked it. Sugar punch is one sticky resin producing plant.
Sensi 2/2 NLxHaze... one is showing the haze the other Northern L 5. One of the seeds was so small it was hard to tell which was the tap side.
Serious 1/1 old fem. chronic
Sweet 3/3 c'mon sweet you have a good gene line but your AK47 in your Jack47 could use some improvement...suggestion: steal some from Pyrimid seeds.
As usual the Caramel Cream makes for the best ornamental plant I have ever grown from any stock..the buds are above average.

Well since this is a germination rate report thread I'd like to share this : I always followed the rules ,as instructed about the germination with the paper tissue issue. I had about 80% succes, but in some times it was pretty dissapointing such like 30%..
So I read about that : just soak the seeds for 24/h and then right sow in to the medium = succes 100% !! Well, till now, for me it's way way better than paper tissue..TRY IT:leaf:

Female : White widow x Big bud 2/2
Female : Outdoor Grapefruit 2/2
Female : Skunk Special 2/2
Bomb : Cheese Bomb 2/2
Bomb : Big Bomb 1/1
Delicious: Caramelo 1/1
these were purchased from Castle Seed Co. I'm happy except one of the outside grapefruit was a tiny bean and in a month is just a 4 inch twig while all the rest are all 10 to 13 inches tall . but for my first grow ever happy all the magic beans I ordered sprouted

Hmmm.... you mean sometimes you start beans and it doesn't work?
But seriously, folks, I germ with a simple method. I use jiffy pots, I don't pre-germ my beans, I use a seed mat but my pots sit on little plastic trays that keep them around 1/4 inch above the mat, I keep the jiffy's soaking wet for the first 24 hours, less so after that. Things I have used in super low dosages include B1 vitamin and GH's and H&G's root accelerators. Have not had any noticable adverse effects and all three seemed to have slight increases in the plants speed at establishing itself. I grow my seed plants in coco/perl so I transplant at the first true leaves and start light nutes at the second. Pretty much everything germs and goes fine. I just started some four year old bagseed from some 'purple kush' that I was given and got 10/10. The only bean I have had that started and failed was dinafem's auto cheese freebie. The best and most ested germ rates I have had are with Mandala seeds, who have a 63/65 rate of producing healthy plants from seed, a roughly 50/50 male female ratio, and not a real downer in the bunch. Have started Satori, Hashberry, Point of No Return, Beyond the Brain, and the Safari Mix, got at least one definite female keeper off each strain. The only no shows were two of the Safari beans, which I do tend to get impatient after five days.

get a heating mat and humidity dome! HUGE difference! best investment you can make after a moisture meter.

... Do not germinate seeds in a dome. Domes are for clones! Companies and stores will try to sell you domes for seeds, but this is just asking for damping off in one of its forms. Seeds germinate healthiest when the ground is warm and wet and the air is cooler and not overly humid.

heat in general is good for roots & rooting. WAY back in the late 80s, cervantes talked about using heating cables in hydro systems and even in soil. when you use them with peat pellets, yeah, it's hard to keep the soil dampness right with some plants drying out and other growing mold, but even in pellets, MOST beans i've put under a dome have at least sprouted. in the future, i'll use cups. there's NO WAY i'm ever going back to 50% or less viability because of a cold room. i've seen the difference. plants sprout almost twice as fast. a plant could be just popping out of it's shell one day and the next be stretching several inches. heat speeds up chemical reactions. i even created a thread no one contributed to about using heating cables and soil. to paraprase "indoor MJ horticulture"...
"keep your roots warm and your leaves cool" for maximum growth energy and minimal THC degredation. i'm not going to stop using my dome ever. no way. i love it.

i bet a nickel tiny mekong haze beans are much happier in warm soil. they refused to sprout at all when i was having a problem with about half of my seeds from several different legit breeders. the last of my joey weed C99 beans were 100% in november and 50% in january... the same time i couldn't get mekong haze to pop or my first laughing buddha and some others too.

Sannies Sugar Punch 1/2...turned our bean was already open at point where tap root would come out, nothing inside of note, took 18 hours to sink. I hope that there are not more because it was double stacked (seed pack on top of seed pack) first sloppy pack job by Sannies. Will wait to germ. Eskobar Choc Rain and Shackzilla... Also the Mad Shack freebie popped...1/1
Delahaze 1/1 (killed later because i was not impressed).Res Privada OG18 freebie 1/1 first several sets of leaves were rounded, has smell hard to describe (first time to grow Kush)

I agree totally with you , have just about the same method , I start mine in a coco blend water with thrive alive b-1 and gh rapid start and start with 1/2 strength nutes at second leaf. That being said the last seeds germ 100% success,they were Cali Connection Raskal OG fems 7/7 , grape kush 4/4 , OGRaskal fire alien urkel 6/6 , billy goat seeds bubba kush x chocolate thai 4/4
