Tweezers And Tip Down to plant seeds?

This can’t be real. Make a hole, drop it in.

Hydrogen peroxide soak can help , I don't know the ratio though.

Also a little worm castings can help too, but not if using h202

Hey that won’t work, the pointy end isn’t facing down

Sideways is how I roll.

I have seen some videos that suggested to use tweezers to plant seeds.

I've also seen that you should definitely plant tip down, because that's where the butt is, where the tap root will come from.

But do you all use your hands, or tweezers or another method?

I've always planted garden seeds with my fingers into soil, but that was for vegetables.

Just curious on this.

Thanks

I use my hands and try for tap root down. If it doesn’t land down I just cover it anyways. It’ll figure it out I promise. Tried the tweezer method in the past and decapitated a seed trying to face taproot down. Have yet to have a problem with using my god given digits

I don’t know about superthrive. The water soak is to give the germ enough moisture to sprout, especially useful with older, improperly stored seeds. They float, then sink when the kernel is ready. My experience anyway. Soil depth helps pull the shell off, nothing worse than a strong hinged helmet head, but again a drop of water helps there too.

I've seen people use the tweezers to take off stubborn pea shells. In a few videos.

Any advice for shells that get stuck?

Look on YouTube, it's real.

True, but some have lost their digits and They have to adapt.

Thankfully my organic soil has worm castings.

Very pretty plants!

This I can understand but not touching the seeds with bare hands and pointy end down stuff is YouTube stoner gold. Did you catch the one on sexing seeds……

Drop of water on the hinge will soften it. They usually come off naturally. The last thing you want to do is force it somehow.

Wait what?

Where's this diagram from?

Do you plant your seeds tip down?

They have a tip?

Honestly you are putting way too much thought into this.

Yeah they have a tip:

Where the tap root comes out of its butt.

The point is where the tap root comes out, the other end is the hinge. Just google cannabis seed orientation, opinions vary.

I use tweezers not because I have any concern about touching the seed and I plant them sideways because it's just easier to pick up and hold the seed that way. I don't make holes I just insert the tweezers with the seed and let go about a 1/4 inch down.

It doesn't matter which way the seed is orientated. A good viable seed will grow no matter which way it's planted. Point up, point down sideways, etc...

If you have old super rare seeds, then it is good to keep things as sterile as possible and sterile tweezers are a good idea.
You don’t need to be nearly as careful to sprout some crappy gelato widow runtz og from Seedsman though.
