Cup o' water method

[Serch]

:afroweed: Here's what I do for almost 100% germination of the seeds.
If for some reason I have a problem after this method....I put the beans in the soil and make sure it stays warm....

I take a simple plastic solo beer cup.
Fill with 1/3 water....

some add a few drops of h2o2 (hydrogen peroxide) but this will use the thrive that the beans have stored too quickly and you'll find that the beans will tucker out once they reach thru the soil. We're not adding h2o2.

add the beans....cover the top of the cup with a simple plastic wrap.
place in either a dark warm area or possibly on what I use...a cable box and cover with a dark colored towel.

I allow this to sit for no more than 3 days.....

The main thing with germination is moisture and warmth.....:huh:
The seed has enough food within to survive germination.

If after those 3 days you don't have nice taproots. Place the seeds just below the soil medium of choice and very lightly cover them.

Add light and you should have a seedling within 24 hours.

Just remember warmth and moisture

So leave the seed under water for the three days?

Never Germed before

You can let them sit as long as you want...just change the water every couple of days so it doesn't go stagnant.

I kept mine in the dark, in a plastic box, on top of wet cotton pads in a cupboard and some of them came out from the first day. I rembember this method from an assignment in my elementary school where we had to make different beans sprout and this was the method used...that worked all the time

Sometimes the simplest methods are the best....

I've done this before. If you place the seed gently on top of the water, it will float. After a few days, the tap root will be growing down into the water.

Thats also how you can find good seeds too. The good ones will sink in a day or two, the bad ones will continue to float.

ok i do my like this

3/4 of a cup with tap water , put seeds in , put the cup on cable box , after 24 i usualy put them in peat pelets and on cable box again, 24 and my roots are 1 to 1.5 inch long
WORKS PERFECT FOR ME .

AWESOME!!! Mine sinked before 24 hours. I was afraid it was something bad.

Since it's been over 2 and a half days now, I should change the water? And three days will be up in about 6 hours, so I'll put them in soil.

No roots at all yet, though.

 

[Weeddog]

I dont think its good for them to sink. They need air too, they may drown. I like mine to float....

 

[Brouli]

2 thinks to yaa posts


1. when they sink its a good thing thats mean the water is inside

2. man 3 days in water dammmm i keep them 24 hours and then in peat pelets and its all good 95% succes

 

[oleflowerman]

yeah what brouli said I'm 12 hours into a soak and got the jify 7's waitin in the and warmin under the flouro. 15 have sunk.

 

[bombbudpuffa]

I've left them in a cup for a week before planting them. You just have to change your water every few days so it doesn't go stagnant. These plants we all love are very resilient in my experiences. There is really no method set in stone, it's a weed...it'll grow! Btw, i'm sorry...don't throw those floaters out...sometimes they pop in soil too!!!!!

I am in total agreement with you guys. I usually only soak for 12-to 24 hrs myself, and they almost always germ. To many people try to make things harder than they need to be. Keep it simple stupid...

 

[SDC]

Soak and pop is what i use as well. Keeps things simple

 

[LaserKittensGoPewPew]

bah...24 hours in a glass of water next to the heater and still no tail or any signs of cracking open .

ive heard of this b4 but havent tried it yet.. ima try it when my haze seeds get here.. i used the old school way.. took a lil tupperware container.. put a wet paper towel in the bottom of it.. threw tha seeds in there... put a wet paper towel on top of um... put tha lid on and set it on a heating pad... workd pretty good 4 me... roots kept growing as long as i left it in there.. kinda gross lookn actualy.. like a 3" sperm or something... anyway... the end
