I don't like paper towels either, I put the seeds in rockwool and keep it very moist. Soil will work, after all that's how seeds germ in nature. I just find the rockwool more efficient.

I have a question.
Why do people hate the paper towel method? I have been doing it for years and 100% success rate.

I put em in a paper towel and put them in a dvd case and then on top of the tower. The outtake fans from it keep it warm enough. Works great.

I get 100% in about 3 days, If you got nothing by 7 days you're probably out of luck.

thnx 4 that awnser, im prayin i get my seeds soon so i can do this, 1 last qestion, i sent cash and a piece of paper with my order number and adress and name to attitude seedbank, will they understand it or is it stricly the printed form and i wasted my cash, im in uk if it helps, east london.

My problem with paper is that although I get near 100% germ with towels I always loose lose a couple after transplanting. The reason in my opinion is that transplanting damages some of the microscopic and very delicate root hairs. I've also found that the transplants grow slower at the begining.

It will work but if you want them to grow faster, like stated before me, then you should look into rock wool. But expect 5-7 days before sprout with my method.

Nah, I haven't grown those. But if your growing in a pc case you should go with a lowryder.
i woz gna get lowryder, but i hear its a shitty strain, so im just gna grow 1 indica dominant strain at a time and lst tke fuck out of them, the drive bay is still in the case, and my lights are in the top left n bottom right so im sure u can see wot ima do.

You should look into topping. Keeps them short but gives you more bud.
i forgot to mention, im topping and doing lst, im only going to give the plants a week max of veg time then when i flower them, ima cut a lil bit off evry week or 2 until harvest.
