Germinate seeds

Is it better to put seeds in distilled water for 24 hr then a moist paper towel or just right into a moist paper towel?? Thank you

You'll get 7046 different answers. Chances are that they all work or have worked for the person posting. Do what works for you. Sowing directly into soil removes a couple chances of damaging the roots. If you are doing a bunch of seeds and don't want to wast containers or dirt for some that may not pop, the paper towel method works just fine.

I use rapid rooter plugs, soak the plug for 30 min, wring it out lightly, put seed in plug, put plug in 6 pack, put 6 pack on seedling heat mat.

I use tap water, add an airstone for 12 hours then PH to 6.3

Drop the seeds in, cover so it's in a dark/warm location. Then after 12 hours stir the seeds and they will sink. Then 12 hours after that they go right in to soil. Just done 13 beans from a number of breeders/strains and all 13 germinated.

Ditch the paper towel and just plant the darn things.........like nature intended.
