Germming is super easy! All you need is a seed, a paper towel, a little water and a sandwich baggie. Wet the towel, place seeds on it, fold it over, put in baggie, keep warm, dark and moist. 48 hours later everything that will germ will have.

i learned the paper towel method in elementary school it works! but since i read a kyle kushman hightimes story in 94' been using the shot glass method IMO its the easiest/low maintenance way to germ seeds. soak them for 24hrs, seeds that sink i poke a 1/2" hole with a pen tip in pre-moistened soil, plant with the flat side of the seed facing up, and cover with a tiny bit of soil,you can place em somewhere warm in the dark,under some flos, window sill,etc., in 2 to 7 days PRESTO!!.......plus if you're "heavy-handed" like me i dont know if you want to be handling delicate root tips LOL

I'm too lazy to do the paper towel thingy
Because then u gotta plant them and hope they take
I just plant mine. Heat mat for seedlings. Glass on top of plants to keep in humidity
That's all they need. Moisture and warmth

How abt the wet tissues in a sealable bag?

Click to expand...

Dont know why anyone wouldsay suffocation I have germinated 15 out of 15 for my first gro just weeks ago. (Got Seeds From Attitute) Wet a paper towel that has been folded about 4x. Place seeds into middle the Seal the Ziploc.(Keeps the moisture from going anywhere) Then place in a dark supposed to be cool place but my room is always mid 90s and had no issue. Just leave in a dark place where no light will penetrate for 4 days then dont make the same mistake I Made...
Plant the roots facing down not deep at all a thumb is too deep.

I use paper towel . Wet it but not drench it, lay tyhe seed in. Fold the paper once or twice , put it on a plate. Put the plate in a plastic carryier bag.twist it so many times that its tight enough to do a lil knot underneth the plate or just keep it done up some how... Check in 24 hrs if a bit dry spray a lil. But iv never had to. Then check the next day and hopefully u should see something.. I also leave them in my coat room which is nice and dark and not 2 cold..

becuz they will sprout in the soil and pots you are going to finish in. why transplant if no need to. i just don't understand.. but hey if you want to transplant over and over again by means go 4 it..

It's like reinventing the wheel. You can coat it in chrome, put some spinners on it, and make them 20" tall... but in the end it's just a wheel. Use it!
