I was given 12 C99 seeds and had them all set up in their own little cups with soil, and dumped everyone of them. Swept them away and begged for more seeds.
Anyway bros and sis, i got this going on. 14 seeds were put to soak and in paper towels, all 14 seeds sprouted and showed cotyledons, when putting them on the rockwool, one of the roots broke, so, 13 out of 14 but not because it didnt sprout, but because of my mishandling.
@MadScientist when you germinate do you just lay wet paper towel in tuppaware ?? Do you use any solutions to soak or start seeds ?? Do you cover them ?? Put in dark ?? What your processes ??
I soak them for 12 hours aprox, in the dark. After that they go into a tupperware with wet paper towels. When they show a little tail they go in the rockwool cubes under the T5 in the dome.
No solution to soak the seeds, only corrected water for the rock, and voila.
I need to correct something. I did put Thrive Alive Red in the water i presoaked the rock with. After applying Super Thrive Red i did the pH and that was it.
