I soak my seeds for 24 hours then plant whether or not the root has popped. 3 days is too long.I put 7 seeds to germinate in a cup of water, they all sunk to the bottom but only 4 have sprouted little roots. What do I do about the other 3? will they still grow? Ive had them in there for about 3 days.
yeahh I planted them alreadyI soak my seeds for 24 hours then plant whether or not the root has popped. 3 days is too long.
everyone tells me that I tried it. thanks broput them in damp paper towels in closed container in a dark warm spot. just soak til they sink. they will show a tap root then put in a pot
they sprouted already but one of the leafs on one is getting brown? any advice? Im in L.A so its really hot could the sun be burning it up?With seeds in water for 3 days probably have drowned them, when all the seeds have sunk it means they are alive, soak for a max of 24 hours, after 24 h the ones that don't have shoots should still be fine, plant up your sprouted seeds, the others place in damp not soaking paper towels and put somewhere nice and warm. That should so the job. For the seeds you left for 3 days, don't be disappointed if nothing happens, but it might, if youhave aanymore questions please just adl and I will do my best to help
thanks for the tip. I have another question. They sprouted already but one of them has brown on one of the tips of its leaf and looks like its shribbling up, do you have any idea whats wrong with it?Lot of good replies at first bro, but one thing I can say is 3 days MAY have been too long.
The longest I leave mine soaking is dau and half, but that, then I go straight into the solo cup, and along with keeping my temps (until they sprout) up between 85-90, I have almost 95% germ rate, even when I do some of the old bagseed I've been hoarding for more than 15 years.
A lot of times, what might appear to be a shriveled leaf tip is just part of the shell dried up and stuck to the leaf tip.thanks for the tip. I have another question.
