peat pots suck!

wasn't snapping.
Anyway, sure paper towel works for some, but really there is no need.
No need for chipping either, they'll germinate in less than 24 hours.

speaking of chipping, i sometimes get 1 or 2 seeds that are just slightly split open... will those germinate? I never bother planting them thinking they'll grow to be weak plants anyway

I know anomolies, I was just jokin, and sleep deprived stupidity...

no chipping is not necessary, and nor did i state such a thing. but i have done side by side tests of similar seeds, and found it to be far more effect and faster. seeds out of the same bag, similar size and shape, 2 chipped had a taproot over a 1/4" long within 18 hrs, while another 2 seeds without the chip took closer to 48. i never said it was necessary, merely said it worked well.

what is it with everyone trying to correct everyone else, necessary does it come into it, honestly, you took a bunch a seeds and put them into sht dirt in a field, some would still probably grow. But doesn't mean nothing else should be tried. To me sounds like a good idea for someone impatient as me, but Itll have to wait, seeds I got I had to pay for, will prob practice on bag seeds. So in conclusion, can't we all just toke along?
