Just got some seeds in the mail. Washers were in the cards coin collectors use. Those were stapled inside a folded card. It was international mail. Pretty thrashed envelope. Seeds were perfect.
I always used the wet towel method, but recently checked this method,… and now I have 100% germination rates. For now…
But much less contaminations that with the towels.
I purposely made a lot of seeds recently so I could try different methods to see what really works for me. This is the one I keep coming back to, but that’s as much on habit as results! I let 'em float when I go to bed and if they haven’t sunk by morning I’ll swirl 'em and tap 'em under, but then they’re on their own until they crack at least. I recently had a bad run with seeds that never cracked on their own. Did pre-crack some and it made a difference but what a PITA!
I did the wet towels for a long time too…best tip was the idea of hanging the zip-locs with a clip and all the roots reacting to gravity and going straight down instead of corkscrewing into each other!
These beans were from @Cyr_grow. VIP Package right der’
I just repackaged them and sent them on their way.
Looks like they made good time getting to ya this time…
I’d Say!
The Bog Bubble should keep you busy but when @THCeed sends beans you are guaranteed a Shipment of beans… And you got two full rows of “Wreckage Master Bastard Kush”
I don’t sunk the seeds. Let them float… so they are wet, but can breath.
After a couple days, the roots are straight down and the seed floating.
I use a ice bucket, so to have enough water tension and keep floating… (I think… I suppose… I don’t know )
Haa, haa, haa! Yep, I’m closer to the ‘end’ than the ‘beginning’! Ya never know, could drop dead tomorrow and don’t want to be called a hoarder! (And I just can’t resist!) I blame it all on Mad Dawg, he got me re-started! Just joking, we laugh together at our addictions!
By the way, just checked and saw white-tips! Not many hours to sleep tonight, they’ll go in in the morning! Thanks to all involved!
