papertowel germination

[Sirpoptart5]

i have put 8 normal reg seeds inbetween damp papertowels
and have put it on a heating pad and put it in a plastic bag to collect moisture
is this ok?
or is there something in the bag that could injure the plant or do i have to worry about the heat?
any thing thatt could hurt my plant

 

[ishnish]

maybe air it out once or twice a day??
personally I just drop the seeds in a cup of water and wait.
hasn't failed me yet, but I don't start from seed to often either..

 

[Sirpoptart5]

you can soak the seeds and it will sprout?
and yeah im letting it air out right now

 

[ishnish]

you can soak the seeds and it will sprout?

yeah, they'll float on the top. I keep em covered to reduce any light getting at em. check on em once a day and as soon as the taproot shows itself, they're good for planting

I'm sprouting now. Like Ish stated... soak em. Did this for 12 hours, then xf to towels, then 24-36 taps start coming out.

I mix 1 drop physan 20 to 1L of ro water to soak in & wet the towels, jic. Peace.

don't confuse the guy/gal.
look to a greenhouse or garden supply store. buy organic.
only advice i can give for soil. + stick with organic nutrients, IMO.
