Indoor or outdoor it does not make any difference.Indoor growing is trying to copy what goes on outdoors.
Why would germinating seeds indoors be any different,they are the same seeds you grow outdoors.OPH

Let me know when you can be outdoors with 24/7 light or even 24/7 night, not even at the poles where plants don't grow anyway
Major big difference

OOO yeaaaa!

Finally I feel confident in a formula for germinating :-P
I got this one to germinate as you can see in about 24 hrs and that included a 3 hr soak in a shot glass till it fell to the bottom!

Just one layer of paper towel in a baggy slightly open for air on top of my light box in the veg room and that was with 12 hr of darkness with the rest of the flowering plants I have going.

I like the fact that you can see threw the baggy and I could see a tap root emerging.

I like doing this way over putting the seed directly into the RW because your positive it really started and much faster then the first time at 5 days before seeing a sprout and some died.

Thanks fdd2blk :-P

hi, i also made a thrad on this a fiew days ago,well this is the method i used and it worked gr8;

i used the paper towel in the plate method but ontop ov a heatmat at around 76-80'f

as soon as i had 1/4inch of root i planted 5mm under soil surface and immedietly put under 24/7 cfl light.

the seed sprouted in 24hrs and then shot thru the soil the next day without any problems.

itsnow the 3rd day since since germ and the baby is an inch above soil already, im happy with that!!

well if you think about it when you plant seeds in a vegetable garden plant the seeds and they sprout when the sun is out. nothing different indoors.

Im still trying to make up my mind on a germ method before my T44 seeds get here from nirvana. I have a decent heated porpagator and im thnking of doing a 24h pre soak then planting the seeds in a pot each of light mix seedling soil (recomended by the grow shop man), stick the pots in the heated propagator under a single 75w cfl and give them 18h light and 6h dark until they are ready for the big light.

Hows this sound guys?
