Germinations help plz

so I just let them soak in water and the seed should pop open and the root shoot be sticking out?? and when I put it in the ground do I turn the light on then or do I wait tell they brake the surface or does it even matter? thanks

Sorry im talkin about germating a seed and someone said put it in a coffee pot and put foil on top and put it in a dark space and then the seeds should pop?? then after that straight to the dirt? and when in the dirt is that when I turn the lights on or do I wait tell the plant brakes the surface or does it matter?? lets say I have more then 1 plant going and one plant pops out the top soil before the others will it screw the others up?? well im getting ahead of myself I apreciate the help alot guys thanks!!

Place the seeds on a moist paper towel, cover them with another mosit paper towel, place them on a plate, cover that with a plate of the same size and put it in a cupboard. Check it daily, keep the towel moist but not wet. You should see the seeds sprout in about 2 to 5 days.

For germination, all I did was wrap my seeds in a moist paper towel. By moist I mean the paper towel is wet to the touch but not soaked. Put the paper towel in a baggy or something and put that under your sink (or any other dark place for that matter).
after about 24-48 hours you should see a white root popping out. When you plant it in the soil, put the root DOWNWARD into the soil.
I immediately put my newly planted seeds under light, and I never had problems with the plants being in completely different cycles. They were all within the same place as far as growth goes throughout the entire beginning process.

I'm not sure of the advantages/disadvantages of just putting your seeds in water - but I know that if you have really hard seeds, it's harder for them to break open with less moisture.

Gotta try this "germination" everyone speaks off, I just do things oldschool.
Stick seed into soil, wait and "poof" it grows!

i assume just putting the seed in the soil is remarkably close to just putting a seed in a wet paper towel - as long as the soil is wet. The hubbub with germinating would be eliminating any "slackers" before you plant them.
Sometimes a seed won't germinate, but you won't have to waste your time/soil/light on that SLACKER and just add it to your trash bin.

Seeds like warmth. Sticking them in soil will not promote
quick growth like using a heat-pad would. I use the paper
towel method, and place it my heat-pad. You could also
use a monitor, or anything else warm...Check them frequently,
they will dry out quicker.

so no one has heard of dropping your seeds in a jar or in my case a coffee pot full of water?

Yes, I tried it once and had very bad results. They tend
to attract to one another, and end up producing some kind
of film around the seeds, and I only got 2 out of 8 to crack.

put em in wet paper towel and then put that in a plastic snawich baggie and close it..i got like 35 out of 43

here are some step by step pics of how I do it and get like a 90% success rate.


good luck

oh yeah no pic there og the plastic actualy has air in it I just fill a little bit of air then seal it

Agreed!! Add within 48 hours, my history has been within 24 or less.

By submerging them in water you chance the risk of your seeds rotting, as too much moisture.
