hey hey fellow growers.so i have finally aquired some good seed(17 white russians).im going to grow them outdoors and hopfully they will be ready with only 3 months.
so my simple question is what is the best germination method what has the highest sucsess %.the seeds only need water,dark place in a warm environment and some time to spout their cases open.Im thinking of putting them into a jug of water for 24h and yhen placing them into the moist towelpaper.what do you think about that?????

I take a small plate...a bunch of paper towel...and seeds. Fold the paper towel several times so that there is a thick layer above and below the beans...get very wet...keep in a dark closet in the highest room in your place/house. Most will pop within 30 hours...a few might require 48-60 hours. Add water if paper towel dries out.

i've always given em a soak in a glass of water for 12 hrs at 25c, then in paper towels at same temp. Beans have always sprouted within 24hrs

I take some toilet paper or a paper towel. (I have not noticed chlorine or chemical free making a difference) Fold it over on itself until its about 5 inchs wide and 3 tall, then drop my seeds in making sure none are touching and fold the paper towel over twice and put it into a ziplock bag which then goes next to my fishtank (always 87 degrees) Heck I suppose I could drop the zip lock bag INTO the fish tank and get slightly better results from the higher heat.

Tried and true, paper towels and just keep em wet.

My 2 seeds have now had 48 hours in a moist environment in the dark in a warm room but nothing yet. However it does look like it's got fatter and darkened in colour. No idea what that means but will just keep hoping for a shoot to come out of it.

I just use a clean white paper towel that has been soaked in distilled water, wrung out and folded over the seeds, all inside an oven bag full of air. Keep it in a warm and dark place, ideally about 80 degrees F .

Two days later, viola! legs.
