Hello,

When germinating in a glass of water can some seed take longer to sink to the bottom than others?

I use DWC, I sow directly into hydroton, then fill my buckets up to within an inch of where I planted the seed, and let the air pump agitate the water so that it will bring enough moisture to the seed zone and germinate it.

I prefer good old soil, no presoak, just pop em in the dirt. It's a lot less hassle. I got some 15 yr old seeds I might scuff and soak overnight, but that's cause they are so old.

I hate handling germinated seeds in ANY fashion. It's not because I think it's bad, it's just cause I am EXTREMELY clumsy and my fingers have gotten fatter and aren't able to be as delicate.

Yes, it's ok...

The sink or swim method is a myth, I think I read somewhere.

When you go to plant them, you might want to give them a little knick with a knife at the pointy end..

Run your index finger along the side of your face next to your ear.. Use that finger to "mix" the water. The small amount of oil will reduce the surface tension of the water and you will get more sinkers.
