I always germ directly in the medium...
Less handling = less problems

Root plugs work great for me
I just wet the plugs once after planting + put them in a dome(vents closed for 1 day)
Vigorous s33ds sprout in ~48 hrs or less
 
Good luck with your method!

I've had over 95% success with mine.
The ones that didn't germ looked immature/deformed anyway.
 
Hey fellas, i put the 2 babies in cups of happy frog last night. We shall see what happens with that black tailed one
 
do you get them from germing into cups with magic?

I drop mine in water for 48 hours then use a tablespoon to scoop them into my waiting medium. Never have to touch them once they've been dropped in the water and don't have to worry about any damaging with an accidental rough squeeze with tweezers. don't worry about how they land in the hole (assuming soil) they will right themselves up!

I tie several thousand fly's a year for different species of fish.
Lol - rough squeeze. That don't happen.
 
Shit guys I've been doing all wrong.........see I grab my seeds with my hand after they germinate,slap 'em a couple times,put them in a sling shot and shoot them into my medium......hahaha.......

really guys it's a frikin seed just grab it and toss it in your medium after they germinate......they are hardier than you imagine....just don't break the tap root......

i have heard from a reputable source that any trace amount of nicotine in fingers will kill the sprouting seed. i wouldn't don't take any chances, especially if you're a smoker
