having trouble germinating/sprouting plants

Going on my 3 actualy grow first grow didn't flower last grow went perfect thoes were both with bagseeds now I've wasted bout 15 good seeds from attitude I'm using the baby water from walmart is the added fluride killing my seeds

What method are you using? I use tap water which in the uk, has fluoride added, and have no problems.

I have used tap water and distilled water with equal success. ^ what method are you using?

Yeh Geo is right mate. Tap water should work just fine.
dont waste your money on water!

I use sparkling water for every feed and since flowering i have used nuits. She's looking good.

I just let soak over night indark ontop of my dvd player they germinate but once I put them insoil nothing happens I'm using fox farm now first two grow done with mg

Next time. Plant straight into the soil or use jiffy plugs, eliminates any risk of transplant shock, stops any risk of damaging the taproot when putting into the soil.

you are wasting money there mate. You will not get any better results using sparkling water.

So am I giving them light b4 they sprout or wait till they sprout

Wait till they sprout mate.

So that's probably what did it had a lot of light on it

Replicate what happens in nature and u'll have no worries. Soaking in water never happens in the wild, and for good reasons called mold and fungus.

Straight in the soil. No need to make it more complicated than it should be. Weed is very easy to germinate and even easier to grow.

Read CrackerJax thread on germinating seeds...its an eye opener for sure.

no man, the light being on would not be the cause. Seeds germ in the wild with sun light, so having your lights on is not the problem.

Dude the best method I've used is to soak a paper towel with clean water until its wet, but not too wet!

place the seeds into the towel, and put the towel on a plastic plate.

put the plate on top of a certain heat source, like a dvd player or something. within 24 hours it should sprout. Ive read the best temperature for sprouting is around 85 to 90 degrees F.


Cheers

Just crazy had better luck germing with bagseeds than good seeds

DaBeat problem isn't with getting taproot to show as I place in shot glass on top 360 and block out light works great once they go into the soil they never sprout I've used party cups and rapid rooters and peat pellets seeds were diesel riders northern lights from seedsman and a few free fems from attitude

The paper towel method is just being downright nasty to your seeds. There are tiny hairs on the taproot, which can and will damage these. Healthy taproot means healthy plant. As said previously stick as close to nature as possible. Straight into soil or jiffy plugs. Read up on the subject and you will see where i am coming from.

Anybody has a link to crackerjacks germination thread last night I started remaing 3 dieselriders and 4 freebes from attitude and 5 northernlights from seedsman lightly scuffed the seeds with emory board tossed into fox farm soil lightly covered sprayed with spray bottle tossed in warm dark cubie so I'll give it a few days planing on ordering more seeds

Have not mate. Try doing a search? I have read the thread, and it is very informative. I wouldnt have bothered with the emery board. You are better planting the seeds untouched.
