Hello to everyone and thanks for stopping by.
Have you ever germinated two different strains of seeds only to notice one did well and the other did not so well.
I believe that certain strains develope better under certain germinating conditions.
Please take the time to list a strain or two, germing method, temperature, and method used to germ.

Nothing major either , seeds like heat ,darkness, and humidity to sprout. PERIOD so what I do is get a papertowel wet fold put seeds in fold again. Put in ziplock baggie ,fold but leave open. Now you have to find something really warm. I use the ac adapter box for my dehumidifier. it gets warm , actually hot so I put the baggie on a plastic lid with a sock ontop of the ac box and the bag gets humidity all over it in a matter of minutes. this is all in a cabinet where I keep my ballast I will enclose a couple of pictures. They have all and I mean ALL sprouted in 24 hrs. every time. Try it this will work for you too. These are the strains that I have had 1005 germ rate with this method Purple Power from AMS , Blueberry from dutch passion , Northern lights x skunk from g13 labs , and wonder woman from Nirvana. All different companies and they all sprouted in 24 hrs. I also leave my seeds in the freezer packaged up . This also helps with gemination and seeds will stay good for long, long periods of time.:clap: Hope this helps someone as it has been great for me.

Thanks Stoney, I'm finding out people who use warmer temps and the paper towel method have better success germinating. I germ my seed nearly identical to u and never had any probs. Lately I have tried different methods and I have had no luck at all...
Rarely do I find someone who uses room temperature and claims 100% germ rate, but I have had great success using high temps until this last time, when my temps got out of control and hit over 105F.
I think 85F is going to be my germinating temp for my Jack Herer, my Kush berry loved those temps, 12/13 in 13 hours... Then 9/12 died when my temps struck 100+...lol

That sucks bad , but I got alot of seeds this batch because of a hermie problem. Fuck it we all got to keep trying to get the best smoke . I like my method to it works good for germinating the seed but bad for the actual plant ! haha
