well many of you may argue this but i have started over 20 seeds this way and every single one has worked not 1 single seed failed...

i took a wet paper towel (no colors on it) folded it over 3 times and soaked it in a water cup with soil in it (muddy water) ring it out just a tad to where its not dripping i then put the seads in between the folded paper towel and put it in a zip lock bag (do not shut it leave it open) then i layed the bag on its side under a 60 watt flourescent light on 18/6 and ever seed grew and had roots sticking out and leafs i then just burried the bottom of the roots in a pot in soil they all grew amazing fast and after only two weeks were taller then my plants i germinated the other way that had ben growing for 3 weeks

i may be dumb for making this post im a newb so dont hate on me im just trying to help out

i germ with paper towel bounty brand. but i rip mine up into small pieces. place into a small tupper ware container, then place seeds, layering as i go after all the seeds are placed with the paper towel i lightly mist the towel with a water and 1/4% organic tea. cover with air in side with a plastic sandwich bag secure with a rubber band. poke a couple of holes with a safty pin. place in a dark warm area your grow area works great. in a day or two youll have some sprouts but leave um in there for about a week, take the bag off and remist every two days if dry. i then put directly into veg nutes at 1/4%
and youll be shooting up all over the place. because the sprouts are used to the nutes already.

Make's sense to me! The fact is, in nature seeds seem to do just fine all by themselves! They have to adapt and overcome in many different situations. Mixing a little nature (muddy water) into the program is a nice touch - I like nature! As long as anybody uses good water and good "mud", they shouldn't run into any trouble.

The only thing that I would add is that seeds, or sprouts, don't have any need for light until they "break the surface", but a little warmth (to simulate Spring conditions) will encourage the whole process!

i will post up some pics but i found this out by experimenting i tried with the light and without the light when the light cycle was used thats wheen i actually had a 100% success rate they will actually grow inthe paper towel to where there is a root growing through the paper towel and i just cut around the root and planted the whole thing it starts the plants out alot faster (3x the size in only 1 week if not more)

one of my plants i did this was was 3 times as bushy and tall as the seeds i did without the sunlight
