Woodland Greenback Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 @@Woodland Greenback Dude have you tried putting a couple of drops of root stimulator on them.........it acts like rocket fuel and kickstarts the roots Just a couple of drops on the seed before I stick it in the soil? Sounds like the trick dude coz I usually get a small tap and then nothing. I try this plus the refrigerator pre germ and see what comes up, nice one my trans- galactic chum.

Gurilla87 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Always start mine in light mix of don't plop after week dig the bean out and plop another should really do the proper wet paper towel method but easier to bang it in some soil in a probergater mist it few days hope for best. Seeds I have bought generally have 90% germ rate Ones like what came off a Royal auto grow unintentionally around 50%germ rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar Fox Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 This year I germ'd in root riot cubes soaked with dilute canna rhizotonic and vitalink biopac. Their first water into coco or soil came with that mix as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
