Sounds like a good idea. I actually did it last time. I was thought about that too. Do you use straight H2O2? I think I did, but don't remember.

I wudnt use 3% that u get from Walmart..I would deliute my own...the 90 cent stuff at Walmart that we typically see is stabilized with sodium citrate...some hydroponic stores sell a %35 that is safer for seeds and you can deliute

Straight peroxide for 30 seconds then a quick rinse in tap. Mold and mildew love seed bracts and letting a seed shell that possible had that on it drop on the soil may cause problems. Just a theory but after pollen chucking in the Northeast and having to go into October with plants, I've seen where mold likes to attack.
With all the breeders nowadays, i dont think you can go overboard safeguarding your grow.

I thought it might be good to kill any bug eggs that you might not see too. I'm adopting that into my system. I usually don't pop seeds though.

Keep them in floating in a cup of water until you see tap root then transfer to paper towels for a day then dirt/Coco. If they don't crack in water after 3-4 days take out and place in paper towel. If they sink to bottom take out immediately. Keep at 70-80 degrees.

I was walking through the forest the other day and there were heat mats, cups of water, and paper towels everywhere.

I just use a saturated wet napkin, on top of a coffee can with the lid snapped over it 90% and usually get them popped in 24 hrs. 48 hours for stubborn ones. But then I use ILGM seeds....

I wonder how many paper towels commercial hemp farmers go through.I was walking through the forest the other day and there were heat mats, cups of water, and paper towels everywhere.

No heat mat, Do your best to keep it warm and cover so it stays moist. Maybe top of fridge if it stays warm there. 75-80 ideal medium temp for me
no paper towels, soaking, h202 or taking it for a walk necessary from what I have seen.
cannibus seeds germinate very easy and quick (‘naturally’), compared to most seeds in my experience

How much are hemp seeds?
If I'm paying $6-10 per seed I'd like to make sure they were viable from the get rather than wait for them to emerge. Or not.This debate is like flushing threads lol

If they're viable they're going to sprout in soil just like they do in paper towels. It has nothing to do with the cost of the seed.How much are hemp seeds?

True, but it's nice to see it before burying. For me anyways. I also run a tiny veg cab. I cant be bothered for a solo taking up space if it doesn't sprout. I also do not reuse soil. It goes into the compost pile. Different strokes for different grow styles imo.

I hate to point this out,,,,, but putting it into the compost pile is technically reusing it. Hahaha.

Put the seed in soil in a solo cup.
Soak it first. Or don’t. Put it in a warm spot. Or don’t.
As long as it’s inside your home it doesn’t need anything more.
