Germination Questions

[Chips Deluxe]

I've read plenty about Germination, And its all from some unknown writer or something so I just wanted to ask you guys so that I could have follow-up questions..

Whats the best method to germinate seeds? The napkin trick has never worked for me with a marijuana seed, I put them in cups, in a dark place..

How far down do your plant your seed? I'd say I plant them about... To the first joint in my pointer finger.. About the length of the cuttings on ur house key...

How long before it should break soil?

Is it best to keep plastic wrap over it to keep humidity? Or no plastic wrap for fresh air flow?

Whats the best method to germinate seeds?

That's a relative question. I don't beleive there is a "best" way to germinate your seeds. Everyone experiences a varying degree of sucess with different methods. Personally, I like the paper towel method, works for me everytime.

How far down do your plant your seed? I'd say I plant them about... To the first joint in my pointer finger.. About the length of the cuttings on ur house key...

I think the general rule is to plant the seeds about 1/4 inch into the soil.

How long before it should break soil?

From my experience, it takes anywhere from 3-5 days to break soil.

Is it best to keep plastic wrap over it to keep humidity? Or no plastic wrap for fresh air flow?

I have no idea about this one. But J-bonez wrote a wonderful tutorial on how to germinate your seeds and it includes his method of using plastic wrap. Give it a read...I'm sure it'll help!
