I’ve germed about a dozen dfg the past year without an issue. Strains were Love Stash, Orange Stash v5, and Tranquil Hashplant (auction win I believe the cross is Tranquil Elephantizer x Dragons Hashplant?) Soaked in a glass of water for 12-24 hours then some went straight into soil and others went into root riot plugs.
Bottom left is Love Stash and bottom right is the Tranquil Hashplant. Male/female ratio was 50/50 but I only kept one female each and gave away the extras. I scrapped the Orange Stash grow shortly after sprouting because I realized I was manically sprouting seeds without space to grow them kicking myself for not keeping one
