I got a green light from the BOSS at home, my wife. (LOL)
I’m gonna take advantage of the sun here in CR, 12/12 all year round. I was gonna soak them until the tip shows, and/or the seed shows cracked… Then onto paper towels, to finally put them in the medium on 5 gallons grow bags.
Will be doing Afghan Kush Ryder from World of Seeds and also Mango Cream Auto from Exotic Seeds…
How does this sound to you?
Best of luck, I use de ionised water when pre-soaking.
I’m gonna be using rain water that has been sitting there for like 4 or 5 days…
No use de ionised water not rainwater,parasites and bacteria etc, go to a car shop and get water for a car battery or steam iron, de-ionised / distilled water. PH 7.0 exact
distilled water they call it here, is it the same…
yes we call it that too sorry should have said all versions, distilled, deionised, pure.
Just because of the cultural differences…
LOL no becuase they changed the label on the bottles @MadScientist .
When I use the paper towel method, I make a solution of this water with root stimulator and ph adjust it to 6.2 to saokonthe paper towel,try to get bleach free and chlorine free paper towel also. Another good material to use is HEMP paper.
If you put de-ionized water on the labels here, people wil have no fucking clue what that is… Probably medicines or something like that!
It use to have distilled water on the label years ago 
I just put my seeds into the medium and water in. Keeping moist until they pop. I’ve had great success this way.
Stay Hazed,

I was curious, because I use mostly RO water on my ganja plants.

This what I do also.
I simply place each seed in a little hole (1/4 to 1/3 inch deep) in my moistened grow medium(ProMix or Jiffy Mix seed starter)
I keep it moist under lights.
The seedlings pop up thru the medium in only 3 to 5 days usually.
Very simple and effective.
I gave up using the paper towel method many years ago.
IMO, it is unnecessary.
Thanks man that was a good read… I didn’t even know.
I also use straight into soil sometimes, it really depends on how fresh / old the seeds are. If i go straight into soil or rockwool cube i use a pencil to make the hole, push the pencil in up to the point where the bear wood ends and meets the paint of the pencil, (standard pencil sharpener used) . Its important to know that seeds have a top and a bottom. The end with the concave shape in like a little vocano is the top, this wants to be pointing upwards.
I use pre soak for older seeds that have been stored for years, and never leave them to soak longer than 48 hours. I always use either de-ionised or distilled water though regardless of method until the seed has rooted and shown 2 internodes. I have chlorine in my tap water. I set the ph at 6.2 and add root stimulator. I dont water them using a watering can or syringe to water them in, I prefer to mist gently using a sprayer / mister until the desired moisture level is acheived to prevent the seed from been forced further down into the medium or turned upside down. I then gently cover with very loose fine soil to provide it with darkness, and place under a flourescent light to stop it stretching for the light once it has emerged from the soil. I aim for 20c / 68f and 50%Rh
If its an extremely expensive seed, I put it under my pillow the night before planting and say a prayer for it to the tooth fairy’s to germinate 
I don’t care if you have to piss on the seeds! Just get them going so you don’t have to smoke all that schwaggy pressed crap. What if one of us make it to your islands. What are we going to smoke? 
HAHAHAHA Costa Rica is not an island AHAHAHAHAHA @ryasco!
But you’re right i gotta get some bud going up here!
Shit! I should have thought a little longer on that one.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
OOOOHHHH MAN!
I’m gonna be posting pics as soon as i start, gonna go tomorrow to a Greenhouse here they sell soil with bat guano and horse manure and volcanic rock and ash and we’ll get them going!
This week it’s happening…
EDIT: It’s called preparation… LOL
