Trouble with germinating seeds ....

[BSki8950]

Alright i just got my lowryder # 2's from DR. Chronic and now im tryin to germinate them ... I put two in wet paper towel and into a baggy and put into a warm dark place.. i did that 2 days ago and still nothing.. i lost a seed tryin to take it out of the container 2 ... but i just wanted to know.. what the best method is 2 use ... i just read some threads and i was going to take them out of the warm area they are in and maybe just put them right into soil or just put them into a bowl of water and wait for the tap root to come .. let me know what i should do these little beans were alot of $ and i dont want to wast them... Thanks ...

IMO I would just leave them how you have them, let them out for air twice a day and don't let them dry out. Give em a few days bro lowryder has a hard shell. I have never put them into a plastic bag I would prolly leave it unzipped for air? Don't get to impatient and grow from there.
Peace, 55

What i have learned over the years is you have to be real patient when it comes to mj and every part of growing it. You no the old saying a watched pot never germinates. Slim

yea i just cant get the outer shell of the seed off .. and i dont want to yank it off .. i put the taproot in the dirt and put lights on it but it wont shed its shell

germination equals seeds, water, paper towels,plate, and dish to cover paper towel.Just like i learned on this very forum, I put seeds on suitably wet papertowel, cover completely with towel then cover with the bowl. Put all of this in a dark, medium cool environment and in days you will have taproots.TRY not to lokk at them every hour and you WILL get roots.

don`t know about "DR Chronic" man, i got some beans and so did Brouli, and the two of us had bad germ rates. Brouli especially who got one female out of ten!Only five of his beans sprouted a tap-root.
But good luck with them lowryders dude,you doing a journal Bski? :bong1: :bong1:

i use a very mild plant food mixed with tap water and popped about 12-14 seeds on the 2nd day keeping warm and dark and wet between paper towels

That's Right!!! What They Said!! Lol
Rome Wasen't Built In A Day.
And Also If Marijuana Was So Easy To Grow.....don't 'cha Think Everyone Would Be Doing It. Lol

The Most Important Thing With Growing Marijuana Is Patience!!!
And For Germinating Seeds There Are A Couple Of Methods.
But Here Is Mine.
Put Some Toilet Paper Not Paper Towels Because Toilet Paper Holds Moisture Longer...dont Ask It Just Do...i Know From Experience. Anyway Put Some Toilet Paper In A Plastic Container(what I Use) And Wet It/spray It Until It Is Wet Then Put Your Seeds On It Then Carefully Put Some More Toilet Paper On Top Of Your Seeds And Wet It Slowly Until Soaking Wet But Make Sure That There Is No Water Left Around I Mean The Toilet Paper Is Fully Wet And Cant Soak Up No More Then I Usually Press Down On The Toilet Paper Very Very Gentle To Ensure That The Toilet Paper Is Almost Hugging Every Seed. Then Just Put It In A Dark Place And Check Ever 8-12 Hours Making Sure The Toilet Paper Dont Dry Out And Making Sure That As Soon As The Seed Cracks/germinates To Put It In The Soil. This Way As Soon As It Cracks The Root Tip Will Be Shorter And There Will Be A Less Chance You Will Touch It Or Hurt It.
Also When In The Soil Keep It Damp And No Light Until It Grows/pops Out Of The Soil. Light Tends To Make Stuff Dry Up Faster.
Good Luck To All Fellow Growers.
