thnx hw long does it take and is it an efficient way, what are the success rates. thnx alot 4 tht awnser by the way.

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

i just dont like it, i cant control the temp all day and night or 2 days, and i keep checking on them evry lyk 2 hours coz i get paronoid that ive got dead seeds.

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.

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.

will that defo work coz im broke as shit n i got the last bit of good weed in my area, all gang weed for the next 4 - 5 months, i cant waste any seeds at all, im growin in a pc case btw.

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.

well ok then, soz to go off topic but have u grown any of these strains, if so how r they:

• blue cheese
• red dwarf
• purple widow
• kings kush
• the church

Nah, I haven't grown those. But if your growing in a pc case you should go with a lowryder.

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.

You should give em two weeks. Because they only have preleaves in a week.
