germination wrong?

  1. ok I got about 20 seeds and started germinating them with the following technique...

    "Germinate seed in water bowl. After 24 hours the good seeds should had sunk to bottom. Take those good seeds and put in high grade soil mix. After you get 3 sets of leavs transport to patch that shouild be worked like garden dirt with organic nuts in place. Take seedlings out of cup, proptecting rootball and plant like a garden. Dont use those planting cup deals, they blow."

    my problem is that all the seeds sunk to the bottom one even cracked open..so i planted them all..but only one one that cracked open is growing..so why are the rest not..acording to this they were good seeds..they have been in the grownd about 5 days now and nothing has happend..
     
  2. Sound like a pretty solid method to me. Sorry I cant tell you what has happened. What I can say is you need to go back to step one and look at ALL the things you did to and for them. Check every step i.e.... what water you used, did you wash you hand before touching them, did you plant them to deep, the list is endless but if you really sit down and look at your work you will find it. Your post shows a good attention to detail. So with a bit of time some lists you will get it.
     
  3. Im getting more seeds..and this time I am going to use distilled water and wait till each one crackes and put them in seperately..thx anyways
     
  4. the taproot just hasn't sprouted yet.. you probably should have kept the seeds in the water a little longer.. the one that cracked is just a little further than the other ones.. germination isn't 100% necessary but it ensures a sprout and gives a boost on the root growth..
     
  5. hmm not quite sure. Read thread in my siggie, easiest way to germ.
     
  6. yea- wait til they crack- bet each one grows for u after that- thats wht I do and it works like a charm:)
