For many years i have done the paper towel method, among many others. i find it to work the best with hardy seeds as the towel is always to wet or to dry. Many times the seed will crack and put out a 1mm tail and stop there. No matter what is done it stays there? i have watched them for up to 2 weeks and then rot, Not budging what so ever. I have also planted these seeds in soil after a wk of nothing but said 1mm tail and they sprout, but would Not germ any further in the towels. this is not just once or twice im talking for years and seeds from all over. just some questions and thoughts Ive had if anyone knows anything through experience.
The real reason i wrote this is.....
How many times have you checked your towels to find them completely dry and stiff??Thinking Dang Idiot smacking yourself. As you open the towel and see the small tap root 1mm long is now black and back inside completely shrunk, scorched DEAD!
Possibly with your only seeds or rarest most scarce stash vault treasures. You get mad at yourself and move forward, mostly throwing them away or planting them just because you hope so hard a miracle will happen(but wont bc its dead).
l choose this time to fill a large vial with 80-85 degree water and added 1/2ml of Humic acid to roughly 3-4 oz of water and sat it on my heating mat that keeps it solidly at 80 82 degrees. i placed the 3 fried seeds in with 2 other yoda og that are new and put it back on the heating mat. BTW, the ruined seeds if watered before bed would of made it. i forgot and checked in the morning about 10 hrs too late.
later that night at dinner i checked them and thought WOW that was quick the seeds popped and got a nub going. But that was completely the opposite of what really happened. the 2 new ones cracked but no tail yet. and 2 of the 3 ruined seeds actually rejuvenated and not only blew up like it never happened but added a mm to its length. This made me so confused i stood there stupefied. The moral of this, Next time you think you ruined your seeds by baking them on the heat mat until the paper is stiff. At least try this with water or a dab of black strap. if you cant keep the temperature in the sweet zone and or monitor it properly i don't advise this.
lemme know your thoughts, i just thought i would share BC in my 5 years growing cannabis specifically i have Never heard of or witnessed this.
