Bodhi Plant and seed guide (Part 3)

I’m using well water now. These are older seeds that have stalled. I’m trying to figure out how to add a little boost back to them.
Thank you for bringing the concerns up. I should boil and cool the water pre soak if I go that way

I’d put the taproot down into a root plug and see what happens but I’m by no means the most knowledgeable person here, nor do I pretend to be

Johnnypotseed swears by laying them on wet worm castings. Haven’t tried his method but the man knows what he’s talking about!

JohnnyPotseed’s Germination Technique

I recently posted about how I germinate my seeds. So figured I’d post some pics I first take about 1/4" of pure worm castings, then wet it down good, using a towel to soak up any standing excess off the surface. I place it on a heatpad with an insulator between to lessen the temps a bit. put a humidity dome over it, with a towel to give it the dark it needs. Let it sit 24 hrs to acclimate. Then I place any seeds I want to germinate, I usually place them in orderly rows of each strain, to kee…

I’ve done this and it works well.

[Emeraldgreen]

That’s the easiest solution. I’ll try it first

If you know they’re old seeds, I’d just crack them first thing.

I can attest to worm castings… after reading johnnypotseeds way with worm castings I’ve not went back… it typically gets 90 percent success rate… if not higher… if they don’t pop here in my opinion they won’t pop… heat mat seemed to speed it up… I have most crack in 1 single day… and it works great for older seeds for sure!!! that says alot!!! Thank you @JohnnyPotseed

[JohnnyPotseed]

In that thread first post, I say I use a heatpad cuz lol
Glad a lot of folks find the ‘mini-tute’ useful though!

[Terpsnpurps]

Lmao I edited that… I didn’t realize that was 1st there

[Terpsnpurps]

It’s been such a great method… it’s been good to me so far… I won’t ever go back to paper towel

[JohnnyPotseed]

the paper towel method is my second ‘go to’ if at the moment, I’m out of worm castings for some reason. It, like a lot of methods, works. It’s just the WC is the best I’ve found in all my experimenting lol

[Terpsnpurps]

I just didn’t like how sometimes the paper towel would start to disintegrate etc

[JohnnyPotseed]

lol OR… the tap growing into the paper before you can get it out!
Plus, the paper towel usually takes 2 days while the WC can only take a day sometimes

[Terpsnpurps]

Totally!!! It’s like sewing with a very delicate needle lol

[Wuachuma]

Soak for say 20 min, then dump that water then soak again and use the 2nd soak.
Many seeds have germination suppressing enzymes to help them compete against other seeds.

So discarding the first soak removes these negative enzymes and then using the 2nd soak gives you the good enzymes.

Really really are you all a bunch of lot rats in some dead parking lot scamming your lame ass crystals?
