SO im comming up on the 13th hour of my 4 feminized seeds in cups of water, they have all sank as of the 9th hour however they look the same as when i first put them into the water, also the waters is pure water not tap water since my ph meter wasnt working. I had bought some starter plugs that are alot like rapid root and am about to transfer but im not sure if i want to use these.... OR use a peper towel and soil them after method. i had heard the rapid rooters dont really break down and im worried about main stem stress in my plants as well as overall end result quality ive read mixed things on them. im planning to do a 8-9 week flower since thats what the strain called for(white widow & green poison). whats the BEST method i can use to see the maximum germination rate ( not to worried about that with these since they are feminized seeds and appeared in good condiditon no cracks etc. ) in also the quickest time, HELP SOON PLEASE APPROACHING 14TH HOUR IN T-55 minutes !. ( if it helps to know i have a humidity dome too with the rapid rooters and if this is the best method should i mist them or let them be in the dome alone room temp 75 F 44% humidity. ) THANKYOU !!!!! FIRST TIME GROWER!!! -SIDE NOTE I HAVE MORE SEEDS TO GERMINATE AS WELL
you want like 80% humidity for young plants if possible. once my tap root is out i plant my seeds in small pots and put cling film over the pots so it creates a really humid place. they sprout quicker this way ( in my opinion)
i have the rapid rooter should i wait to put them in the rapid rooter till they have sprouted the root or should i even use the rapid rooter at all? i have ahumidity dome too so
nice, i have them set up at 60% humidty and 72 F and climbing in my humidity dome i put the 3 seeds in serperate papertowels in their and their on a table half way stickin out over a heater im constantly checking the levels.
Not sure where you heard that. This stem doesn't seem stressed. Dude, you need to relax. If you're getting this worked up about the amount of minutes a seed has been in water, you're going to have a nervous breakdown before the plant flowers. Lol. Soak the rapid rooter in a weak bloom solution pH'd to 6.0, stick the seed in the hole, and put it in a drawer.
just put them in paper towels, i had one in the rapid rooter but moved it to paper towel, so now all 4 are in the humidity dome germinating. i will run my jack 47 in rapid rooters and see how they work
I put my seeds in a cup of water on a reptile heating mat in a cabinet for 24 hours. Then plant in soil, they show a small tap root after 24 hours every single time for me. Easy peezy lemon squeezy
Thanks M8! Thanks M8 will give this ago with my others. but i also was cautioned not to leave them in waters over 18 hours because they might drown
There's three things seeds need to germinate. Moisture, warmth and oxygen. I usually soak seed in water for 18-24 hours in a warm dark area. After that they go straight in the soil. I can never wrap my head around the whole paper towel thing. The soil does the same thing and once it sprouts you don't have to mess with it again. To each his own.
