hey hey fellow growers.so i have finally aquired some good seed(17 white russians).im going to grow them outdoors and hopfully they will be ready with only 3 months.
so my simple question is what is the best germination method what has the highest sucsess %.the seeds only need water,dark place in a warm environment and some time to spout their cases open.Im thinking of putting them into a jug of water for 24h and yhen placing them into the moist towelpaper.what do you think about that?????
:peace::peace::peace:
 
Pie plate...paper towel....seeds.....paper towels..... plate... soak, keep soaked, (just so if you tilt plate water will accumulate at side)..room temp... Luck.
 
so-the question remains-do i soak them 24h first in water and then put them into a moist kitchen(4 cotton)towel???
 
I take a small plate...a bunch of paper towel...and seeds. Fold the paper towel several times so that there is a thick layer above and below the beans...get very wet...keep in a dark closet in the highest room in your place/house. Most will pop within 30 hours...a few might require 48-60 hours. Add water if paper towel dries out.
 
i've always given em a soak in a glass of water for 12 hrs at 25c, then in paper towels at same temp. Beans have always sprouted within 24hrs
 
i have now putted my seed into the moist paper towel and they are sitting on second floors closet where temp is i belive above 20 c.lets hope the best guys.
 
I take some toilet paper or a paper towel. (I have not noticed chlorine or chemical free making a difference) Fold it over on itself until its about 5 inchs wide and 3 tall, then drop my seeds in making sure none are touching and fold the paper towel over twice and put it into a ziplock bag which then goes next to my fishtank (always 87 degrees) Heck I suppose I could drop the zip lock bag INTO the fish tank and get slightly better results from the higher heat.

Tried and true, paper towels and just keep em wet.
 
i always get a paper towel wet a fold it over then i place my seeds in it then i fold the paper towel over again then i put it in a zip lock bag and i put mine in a draw where its dark mine always sprouts in about 2 - 3 days!

My 2 seeds have now had 48 hours in a moist environment in the dark in a warm room but nothing yet. However it does look like it's got fatter and darkened in colour. No idea what that means but will just keep hoping for a shoot to come out of it.

ok now-my seeds have been in my closet 4 almost 1week and a day, and still nuthing.i saw 2 seed 5 days ago, that a tiny, tiny sprout opened and i putted them in soil-again, still nothing.im really sad, beacause i have 18 seeds and no results.
 
I just use a clean white paper towel that has been soaked in distilled water, wrung out and folded over the seeds, all inside an oven bag full of air. Keep it in a warm and dark place, ideally about 80 degrees F .

Two days later, viola! legs.
