I second this. *Although I germinate my seeds in paper towels before putting in rockwool. Makes sure you don't squeeze the cubes when you take them out of the ph'd water just some flicks of the wrist to kinda "whip" the water outta there. If you squeeze the rockwool you will not only be squeezing out the water but the oxygen and air bubbles as well which your baby needs. There are certainly other ways that work just as well find what works for you. Good Luck.99.8% germination rate for this technique::
-rockwool/grodan cube
-soak rockwool/grodan in r/o water ph'd at 5.5-6.2 (take your pick) for 1hr
-grab your seed
-put seed in pre-fab middle hole (if none, make one) of the rockwool/grodan
-walk away
*just keep the cube "MOIST" , and presto
Fisrt off. The paper towel method is effective but it has its downsides. You have to manipulate a popped seedling which doesnt always rise from the dirt. And paper towels breed mold on your starts before it pops which effects the health of the plant.
. Why do you keep doing this? I'm just giving my.02 on how to germinate seeds and I didn't "steal" that from anywhere I learned that from reading Al B Fuct's thread https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/15030-batch-clones-rockwool.html and I liked the thinking behind it so I was attempting to spread the idea to other growers, sorry hoag... Every time you do this I quote the same idiotic posts that you continue to make all over this forum. I have them saved now so I can bring them up at any time. Keep going and I'll do it again and then you'll leave the thread without posting any response, like you always do. And if I really don't grow, you should be embarassed by how much more thoroughly I know and understand cannabis and basic plant biology. Don't you get tired of constantly being called out on the incorrect information you continuously hand out? And I've never had a mold issue on any plant, ever. "And paper towels breed mold on your starts before it pops which effects the health of the plant." What? ""HE DOES NOT GERMINATE AND HE DOES NOT TOP."" Haha you're such an idiot. Good Luck.
I don't know what kind of beef you two have, but as far as what I just read, this guy is a moron.Fisrt off. The paper towel method is effective but it has its downsides. You have to manipulate a popped seedling which doesnt always rise from the dirt. And paper towels breed mold on your starts before it pops which effects the health of the plant.
But if your not comfortable with other germination methods then you should do what works for you and try more advanced methods when your ready or in the next grow.
And for the last time. Alex kelly DOES NOT GROW. HE DOES NOT GERMINATE AND HE DOES NOT TOP. Hes just a fuckin little deuchy kid who picks fights that arent even his. It will be a happy day when I can either see him stop posting in the advanced or congratulate him for actually growing something.
He is right about the grodan "flicking" but he stole right out of recent propagation thread.
Where are these TOPPED PLANTS?
where is this CAP Co2 CONTROLLER you use?
Lets see that GRODAN DOME you got?
Sorry if this cruel to some people, I dont usually act like this, But this little faggot has been under my skin for way too long.
