Can I germinate just by placing seed in rockwool? Why would I germinate on papertowls till seed crack then put in rockwool? Why not just put the seed straight in the rockwool? Is there a benefit germinating before placing in media?

yeah bud, if you germinate them then you can tell if they will at least sprout and have a chance to grow. if you don't seem em crack you can not be sure of what will happen.

Hope this helps, good luck to you:-)

just put it in the rockwool if you like. it dont make no difference...
but if you use the paper towell method you can tell exactly when the seed cracked. thats all

I agree. I used paper towel method before, but now I just put them in soil, then water, keep it warm and moist, and wait for signs of life. I try to emulate nature that way ;)

Here is my take:

I used the paper towel trick the first time I germinated a seed, it worked. I was happy. Grew the plant everything is good. Now want to grow more try the towel trick again for about 3-4 months on and off missing some, failing most. Here has what worked for me every time for my stinkbud system.

1. Take a shot glass fill half way with water (I ph to 5.8 prob don't need too though) then I drop 4 eyedroppets of H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) in there. Put the seed or seeds in a warm dark place for 24-48 hours.

2. Check on em when they have 1/4" tap root I plant them in peat pellets in humidity dome for 3-4 days till sprout.

3. Off to my StinkBuddie.

This method I can confidently say is the most fool proof so far.

i do the glass with water but i have not tried it with the hydrogen peroxide in it.
ya man that was my take.. like what the @#*(^!@ but this buddy told me to do it. So I did and I have never had a seed not pop with it so its NOT hurting it and if it helps then thats cool too!!
