Why the paper towel method?

[sweetnug]

I never could understand the paper towel method. It makes no sense to me at all. I can get a plant to sprout in 2 days if I plant in soil or rockwool. It takes 1-3 days to get full germ in a paper towel. I can have them already started growing by then. To me its a total waste of time. Could someone steer me in a different direction, I would be open to comments

because it works.
and theres a higher rate of seeds popped.
in soil theres a better chance your seed will not pop....theres not much heat when it is in soil....harder to keep the mouisture right....not steril....
you can check on it when its in paper towel.....in soil its hard to check on it...you got to did it up...then re sow......paper towel is better...
dont get me wrong soil works....but w/e

i have seeds pop in 24 hours, then sprout above soil in 2 more days..so in 3 days i have a sprout.

I do understand the method. I guess its more a personal thing. I am not saying it doesn't work don't get me wrong. I just have had a great success rate just planting them. It is easier or me. :D

Thats the truth man. You seem like you understand and not many really do. Its a simple game but you must have the knowledge to start. I learned everything from reading and a lot from experience.
