germination

I'm having a real tough time germinating seeds. I soak my rapid rooters in RO water overnight, drop the seeds in and place in a humidity dome under a seedling mat. I can always get them to sprout, but can't keep their roots healthy beyond that. I was told to wait until they had a few roots...

Hey all! I read a few instances where people have had to help the shell open while germinating. Some people now 'rough up' the shell with an emery board while others I've seen use a sharp blade to make a tiny slice in the shell. I tend to correlate things like this with other similar...

Hey, guys. Earned some experience points doing some hydro; DWC hydro is the only method I've ever used. I'm now in a situation where I can do a guerrilla grow outdoors but nothing indoor. My question is this: I am attempting to germinate in jiffy pellets. I've never used them (I'm quite adept...

I have 3 seeds from Mephisto Genetics, germinated using toilet paper in DVD case, wrapped in shirt and tucked into tent for 50+ hours until tap roots were showing. Planted about an inch deep into Roots Organic soil with Kind Soil (hot soil - water only) underneath. (3gal fabric pots) I kept my...

Hi friends! This may be my first post. My apologies for seemingly just lurking here :) I'm here to be a presence on behalf of Boveda, the 2-way leader in humidity control. I legally grow Cannabis in Canada and write about it for them on their site blog. I'm not here to sell, only to learn...

The last few times I've tried germinating seeds, from various breeders and distributors, I seem to get something like a 10% germination rate all the way through. Most seeds will pop and then nothing more. The water has always been tap water and I use the paper towel method. I normally wait...

So I am not a newbie and will be posting this as well in plant problems, but this is somewhat of a newbie question. The last few times I've tried germinating seeds, from various breeders and distributors, I seem to get something like a 10% germination rate all the way through. Most seeds will...

Yes yes ya'll you guessed it Germination. :bigjoint: My method 70% success rate. 1.) Soak seeds in shot glass til they sink. 12-20hrs average. 2.) Place seeds in damp paper towel and put into ziplock bag. 3.) Store in dark area "(black sock)" for 24-48hrs with temperatures of 25C RH 55% I...

so as the titles says, i was puttin my freshly germ’d seeds tap root into its new little home, lone and behold the tap root made contact with the wall of its hole and i guess it was so sensitive that about the size of lead on a pencil was cracked at the tip. Will this effect the seed in anyway...

Hey everyone, So after several grows I've always dreaded germination of seeds. I've never really had a full failure, I've always managed to save them or they grew properly. However after the last 4 seeds I've germinated (expensive humbolt seeds) I have had issues. From start steps I use...

With my current mthod of germination i usually get around 75% germ rate and i was wondering what are some other ways people germinate seeds? Im hoping to find a method that is closer to 100% germination. My method: Place seeds in paper towel, moisten, place paper towel in sandwich baggy and...

Simple question, what happens when you germ seeds in water with a extremely high pH?

ANYONE INVEST IN BOTCOM OR ANY OTHER MARIJUANA STOCKS ??????

Hi I thought its a good Idea to share this with you guys..... https://www.rhythmofnature.net/biodynamic-calendar-january-2018 This is the calender I use for planting sowing etc. Biodynamics are brought to us by Rudolf Steiner. If you like organics you should check for his preperations. He is...

I had a bunch of seeds after germination wrapped around paper towel. They all did fine and are in the dome, except this one which seems a bit slow so it's been by itself for an extra day. Now I opened it again and it's covered in white stuff! I previously had failed clones inside the grow room...

I have a Batch of ten year old Seeds. They were not stored right. They were in a sealed Seedcontainer but not in the fridge. The Genetics of those Seeds are superior and unique. I would hate loosing them. I tried germinating some a few times but without success. I used different mediums and...

I'm a first time grower having trouble with germinating my seeds. The seeds crack and start showing the tap root then stop growing after that point. How i germinate. soak seeds in water for 24 hours then transfer to a damp paper towel, cover it between two plates leaving room for air to get...

I’m sure it might have been done many times before but I’m new to growing and was looking for the best way to germinate seeds and thought of this cheap alternative to a propagation dome, I’ve cut two bottles in half and planted my seeds into coco Has anyone ever tried this?

I popped 5 seeds the other day. All germed without issue. paper towel and plate. I put germed seeds in perlite/coir with the light maybe 1.5 feet away. The heat was set on 80 but I came in the next morning and it was around 90. my mistake. I know the seedlings elongated bc of excess heat, but...

Hi all!!! Does anyone have a good led bulb setup? Pics would be great. Working with 8 60watt led Cree bulbs. All have the bulb covers removed. The splitters we bought put the bulbs at pretty sharp angles. So just pictures or advice would be great. This is for germination / seedling stage...
