Yes you can put them in rooters. Just be careful to not damage the tap root. Place them in the rooter with the root facing down. Keep it moist not wet and you should see a sprout in 24-48 hrs.

Yes bro. Temp should be about 24c inside your prop. Once all of your seeds have sprouted and got their first real leaves open the air vents a little more each day and give them light until 10 days is up then it's time to put them in pots.

Good luck bro!! Any questions just ask. Oh forgot to say you need to keep humidity up in there too. About 60% is adequate

Lol was thinking that myself mate.not to worry its early yet lol
I got 8 seedlings just sprouted. So I'm gonna put 2 outside in direct sunlight, in a pot and post a pic to prove it.

Best way to test is by doing it

Both will be bulldog chronic seeds so there's no strain comparison to worry about.

Can't do it!!! I'll put them in the veg room instead. The scotch sun must be cooler than ours ha ha.

This is from sensiseeds website. They are top top breeders.


The best conditions for cannabis seedlings are a bright, warm (21-23ºC) and humid environment with moving air. Propagators are simple to obtain and provide an ideal start for young cannabis plants. A propagator is a plastic tray with a transparent top which holds in humidity and warm air while allowing seedlings to receive light. This an easy way to maintain a good environment for very young seedlings . However, since the cover prevents normal air movement (which is very important as it encourages young plants to grow strong stems), cannabis seedlings should not be kept in a covered propagator for too long. Once the young plants produce their second or third pair of serrated leaves, or if they grow taller than about 7 cm with only the first pair, the cover of the propagator should be removed. A small oscillating fan on the lowest setting is a good way to give indoor plants the air movement they need, while outdoor plants can start to receive the natural outdoor air movement when they have reached this size.
After seeds are sown in the growing medium, they can be placed in a propagator for the first couple of weeks.
The simplest form of propagator would be a waterproof box with clear plastic sheeting over the top. The advantage of shop-bought propagators is that they often have built-in heating and/or vents in the cover to allow temperature and humidity regulation. They also usually allow more light to reach the seedlings. If the seedlings are intended for outdoor growing, the covered propagator should be placed next to a window to give the seedlings light. By the time outdoor seedlings are big enough to have the propagator’s cover removed, the process of acclimatizing them to outdoor conditions can begin (weather allowing).

In the future i recommend u take them out of the water when they have sank and put them directly into the rooting cube. Once that little tail forms it is VERY fragile and easy to damage. Dont touch the seeds with your hands once they have hit water either use clean tweezers.

I just wanted to try it and see. Usually I'm straight in soil once they pop but just wanted to see how they would start on it a rooter.

I've used tons of rapid rooters for clones but germinated seeds never did super well in them. I think root has a hard time with it.

Drop them into soil and let them thrive.

i recently did 5 seeds in root riot cubes which are very similar with 5/5 great results. They are made for and better for clones, but work fine for seeds as well. The taproot will grow out of the cube in like 2 days tho, then plant the whole cube in soil or hydro.

also rip a little piece off the corner of the cubes and cover the seeds holes helps them shed their helmet/prevents light
