Just planted one mor AnC and I threw the rest out, same with the other FM that didn’t germinate. Figured if they didn’t germinate by now, either I fucked up somewhere or they’re duds. I’m going to wait to see if the rest pop out of the ground before I think about germinating some more. AnC#2 is popping out of the ground and one more FM popped out of the ground, but it snapped it’s top off in the process. I’ve never seen that happen before, maybe the soil was too wet? I’m really not sure, I haven’t watered them since I planted them? Like I said I’m going to see if the rest pop up if they do great, if they don’t I’m just going to germinate something else. Them not germinating is probably my fault because I kept them in my garage where it’s usually warm and humid, but like I said it did get pretty damn cold for where I’m at one night. So I’m thinking that might’ve been the reason why they didn’t germinate. If I do end up germinating something else I’m going to keep them in my room where it’s nice and warm just to be safe.

My brotha I would suggest germinating them in a shot glass or paper towels. Or peat pellets. Before you put them in soil.

Why? I have always been a straight in the medium type of guy. I just never like to mess with an exposed tap root at such a young age. Feel it just leaves more chance for damage. I always felt the paper towel method was for people popping hundreds of seeds and didn't want to waste the soil on duds.

I went from going straight into the medium then after some frustrating failures started using rapid rooters after a 24 hour soak in a cup.
The paper towel method just seemed brutal but now for the past year thats my go to method to ensure I get every single seed to pop. I agree its scary handling the exposed taproot but it is the only sure fire method I have found whether I'm popping 2 seeds or 10.

Why everyone worried about exposed roots. Lol just be gentle and put them into your prefered medium. Lol

What about the method increases the germination rate??

Papertowel in a baggie on your cable box or seedling heat mat (or grandmas old heating pad like I use) just creates the perfect environment for germination. I've had stubborn 8 year old bag seeds stored improperly pop like that too. And yes just be Super careful when handling. My last run 3 seeds grew into the papertowel and after gently trying to free them they wouldnt budge so i cut around the root and buried them with the little piece of paper towel attached. They are strong and beautiful little plants today.

You can get the same environment buried in wet medium with a heating pad.

If you haven't already tossed those beans instead of just tossing right away throw them in a little bit of wet soil off to the side somewhere for like a week or 2 before you toss them completely.

I've lost seeds in dirt piles before that I thought didn't germinate and like a week or two later a little seedling would be popping up out of soil pile, lol.

It's worth a shot anyway if you got room.

Not exactly the same. The seedling is sandwiched between 2 damp pieces of paper towel in a sealed bag, but just do whatever floats your boat. If you have some random seeds or bag seed, give it a shot. Gaurentee you wont look back

I did it a long time ago, never was a fan. Just added an extra step that was unnecessary. I don't understand why damp medium wouldn't mimic damp paper towel. The bag makes no difference other than to keep the paper towel moist longer where as most mediums will retain water much better.

I'm pretty sick of all these germination posts. Maybe y'all could make a 'how to pop seeds' thread, and leave this thread for 'rado pics and strain discussions? :p

Here's some Stirfry (orange cookies x gmo) I grew out a year ago. Still have some and its one of the only strains that I've kept around that long ( if its fire i always stash a jar away) that has retained its terps like it was only a month old and still gets me ripped. Come to think of it, one of the only other stains that retained its funk and still packed a punch almost a year later was Sour Legend, also from Rado. That's why he's in my top 3.
