GERMINATION - your best method you use ??

[steve]

there are many ways to germinate have tried dam near all of them with mixed results. Heard that one can use hydrogen peroxide to help in germination rates. thinking about getting a adjustable heat pad. - help ; information wanted

[abadtrip]

I have a 100 percent germ rate as follows.

drop seed in rapid rooters hole do not push down.
cut corner off of rr place cut off piece over hole.
Add 5 ml of water to rr and seed.
place in humidity dome with heat mat
add water to the bottom of humidity dome for humidity.
wait 36hr see results.

I’ve germinated seeds once did exactly as he said. 6/6 sprouted.

This is all I use now for soil grows:

I soak my beans in R.O. water for about 8 hours, then paper towel method. Once taproot is out, they go into rockwool cubes then into humidity dome. Had great germination rates with this method.

No peroxide or heating pads required (unless you like doing that kind of stuff). Soak it in water overnight and then put it in a damp (not soaking--you want some oxygen exchange) paper towel. Cropking seeds has a good description at their website.

I haven't had great results with Rapid Rooters for some reason...I soak the seeds in filtered water (nothing fancy, just from the Brita pitcher) overnight and either germinate in a paper towel, or just plant in soil and put the pot in a warm area--usually near my computer--with a humidity dome and small LED grow light to start off.

[steve]

do you think that t-5 are/would be better than led's to germinate (hPS, SPRIAL CFL, ,ECT) BEST TYPE OF LIGHT ? THE ALL WORK DON'T THAY ???

[Waltermelon]

CFLs are great. I've finally been able to get more lights than I can use now so im starting to use LEDs through the whole grow. One type of light works just as well as the other in the right conditions.

[Waltermelon]

I use jiffy peat pellets soaked in tap water and heavy 16 roots slightly stronger than the bottles instructions. Just throw them in with the right side down, don't pack too tight throw them in the dome and wait. Simple easy and affective. No need for micro managing.

[abadtrip]

Waltermelon do u use all of heavy 16 line i am looking at other nutes and this is one on the top of my list just some of there products are extremely expensive

[Waltermelon]

I don't use any other heavy 16 gear, I use cutting edge. I got the gal of roots I have from a hydro store that was going out of business for something like $25, basically stole it. I do really like the product. I haven't noticed any salt build up on my pots since I started using it. I've seen some people say it works to break down salts, and I can say I've seen a difference while using it. Personally I'm really looking at cyco for my next run. The hydro store I go to now gave me a bottle of the suga rush and I'm running side by side with the CES sugaree.

[Potted]

Soak seed in ph water with a splash of hydrogen peroxide till tails show. Place seeds tall down in a 4” jiffy pot with good starter soil prewatered about a knuckle deep cover and spray with phed water twice a day cover with sandwich bag humidity dome places on heat pad under t8 lighting no more than two inches away now your cooking after thay break thru remove domes and let them dry out after the pots are light water with Dixie cup once a day or when ever pots are light again! Fool proof

[GreenhouseEffect]

The last 12 seeds I planted went into soil a knuckle deep, kept moist with bubble wrap over them, 60-80 F. All sprouted, 3 from MSNL, 3 from Seedsman, 6 were bagseed, all purchased or given to me in last year.
