i dont think it matters how u do it. I used the paper towel worked like a charm. when putting them in the dirt my hands were kinda shaking so they all ended up goin in the soil diff ways...some were tip down some were sideways. All of them, however, found there way out.

Helpful topic. I normally put my seeds in a glass of warm water. After about half a day to a day, they should sink and eventually crack.

GreenMurph · 02-17-2009, 11:31 PM

so it doesn't matter which direction you plant the germinated seed?

Sweet I just did this. Time to wait and hope it works =D

I think they germinate a lot faster then 48.

I just soaked by rockwool cubes shook out some water and dropped em in. I put them in a grow tray with a dome and put them in my storage area. I have six out of eight about 1-2 inches out the top and i can see the last two about to break the surface. Now I just dont know what to do, wait til the last two come up and remove the dome, and add some light?

i had tap root get stuck to paper towel. droping it in dirt works just fine. i might put my next seeds in paper towel until the seed cracks then drop it in a jiffycube I dont want to mess with it too much and i saw on here somewhere about the seed haveing fuel well I dont wan tto waste the fuel pluse once I have a mother I will just clone her. last grow that I started I planted about 52 bag seeds that was a lot of seeds in paper towel to sort through. i love growing pot its just awesome. it should be legal and once it is I will have about a dozen house plants...Im talking just letting thoes mofos grow lol

Wow...I laughed out loud when I red that...I thought something weird was going on when I planted them tip down.

HI,

Thanks for the informative post Aplasia... With all due respect, IME marijuana seedlings do not require or benefit from any nutes until they are about 3 weeks old with 3-4 sets of leaves developing. Nature designed things so that the seed contains all the nutrients that the seedling requires for this period. They will tolerate organic amendments in the soil, but many strains will show slight nute burn if the mix gets a bit on the 'hot' side ie... FFOF soil... Most strains do fine in FFOF but I've seen several over the years that slow down and get slight nute burn if grown in their rich, organic soil. I like to use a 50/50 mix of FFOF and Foxfarm Light Warrior and I've never seen a seedling not thrive in this mix...

Over the years I've tried a little bit of everything to see if seedlings would benefit from product A or product B.... and the ONLY time I've ever had problems with unhappy seedlings is when I use anything on my nute bottle shelf...

Peace!

Happy Growing!

I am using indoors for veg, then trans outdoors in soil for flowering. My question is: If I germ. on/in a growth cube, should I leave the hydro/indoor medium cubes?..and, plant the root/cube combo??...or, should I hydro with a cube/soil combo? Further, if I use a sterile soil medium indoors, should I place some native soil at that bottom of the medium?..or, just stay with SuperSoil, and add some of that to the native dirt in the outdoor hole?

Callawave · 11-07-2009, 01:05 PM

Well I’m on my first grow, so I know nothing. BUT! I soaked eight Root-Riot cubes in RO water, squeezed out excess water, popped in the seeds and misted the surface regularly. Five days later all eight had two cotyledon leaves and had shed the shell. It worked well for me so I’ll stick with that.

The best method ive tried and seen the most results was using cottonballs. All i did was wet the cottonball about 3/4 then put the seed on it and i wrapped the plate with surround wrap. out of 10 seeds about 6 sprouted.
