Hey New growers!
CannaBoss here with a tip that will help you pop those new seeds of yours.
This is what I do when I get some fat new seeds;
first I get a machbox and a small piece of sandpaper, cut a piece of the paper small enough to fit it into the box.
Put the seeds in and close the box up. Then shake the seeds for 30 seconds or so. This will scuff the outer layer of the shell so that moisture penetrates the seed much easier.(what causes the seed to pop open)
then I soak the seeds overnight in a cup of water with some liquid sea kelp (ascophyllum nodosum)
This is high is potassium and is good for seeds early developement.
If your a hydro grower, wait untill the seed has a tap root about a half inch long, if the shell needs help removing, go ahead and do that. Place it in your rock wool,oasis cube, peat cup, etc.
If you grow in soil, when the seed cracks, just put some quality soil into a beer cup, cover it with some cling wrap, moisten the soil with some ph balanced water, place the tap root into the soil and just barley cover the seed top with soil. put the cup in a warm dark area. Keep moist but not soggy.
Once the seed sprouts and shows some green leaf, then you can put it under a flourescent or MH light for growth.
Remember, warmth, darkness and moisture is what you seeds need for germination.
Good luck
