Been doing this for last 50 years. fill small dixie cup, add seeds put in my designated cabinet. 2 days later I open door and they are usually ready for dirt!! Nice video!!

man YouTube algo really screws cannabis content creators. I watch probably 4-5 hours of this subject daily, and this is the first time your channel has appeared as a suggested video even.

With my years of experience this is the best method hands down. Paper towels tend to stick to the taproot and have a tendency for mold to develop.
This is a damn good video for germination.

Thanks so much! I tried this technique and take off the seeds after 24 hours in the glass and ut them in Ziplock bag. And 3 days after, I had today a good surprise. But in the glass, there was seeds in the bottom of the glass and maybe 5-6 seeds up but I had to much so I left them there. And today, after looking the Ziplock bag, went back to look in the glass the remaining seeds and theirs roots are more longer than the one in Ziplock!! What a surprise! I will do all my germination with your technique!

I watched this video 4 days ago. I decided to try it. Wow 3 days and tail hanging in water. Excellent method.

I've always done the floating it's definitely the best method for starting seeds

[johnjacobsen]

Good technique. I used to just put all seeds straight into dirt but then some would not germinate, and I would waste time trying to rescue them or give them "more time". In this way you get 100% confirmation of germination and no mystery as to what is happening beneath the dirt.

This was new to me as well. I tried it. Three days later long, straight tails ready for planting. Started growing about seven years ago, and saw a few videos on growing, that taught standard practice of pushing the seeds into the water to soak them. Did it that way until three days ago. Thanks Greengenes for posting this.

the great thing about this "tek" is it presoaks the hull of the bean properly, allowing it to crack open better later imho. i only do a 24h soak though, then straight to starter soil in heated dome at ~24°c soil temp.
additionally, aloe and camomile tea, very low concentration, for hard to germinate old beans. take my word for it. blend 2-3 Aloe leaves with a small handfull of camomile flower, ~500ml water, strain through a cheesecloth or tight mesh. add a sip of this to each water glass.

This has worked every time I have done it. I put the individual seeds in separate shot glasses so they aren’t wrapped around each other. It makes it a little easier to get them out without damaging them.

I am a beginner 1st timer, I luv ur simplicity, can’t wait to try it, u F-ing rock❤

[nigellegg]

Bloody ingenious. Just trying it now in low ppm mineral water, with a few drops of sea kelp and superthrive, in a cup, sat on a warming pad. 24 hours, very thick white root has emerged, and started to turn down. Another 24 hours, good for sowing. 48 hours, to get a perfect seedling, with a thick plump root. Root 3 x thickness of one pushed down to sink. Seed looks like it's about to explode. Exquisite..

I saw this and tried it. From my perspective, this is the best way to germinate a seed. Less than 48 hrs later i had tails. They was roughly 1/4"-1/2". Normally, Id soak the seeds first, do the paper towel method and then I sow the seed. You Saved me some time and you helped me mitigate loss by increasing my probability for success. That's some gangsta shit lol Thx for this!

[toomanydonuts]

You know I thought you went down a few rabbit holes and so I hit the 1.5X and FF to get to the information. Thank you. You help me to learn something valuable here.

[saranteravatin]

I feel so lucky, that I am thai right now, I got all my dirt, climate and fertilizer ready next door.

Usually I use wet tissue about 2 days they will sprout.

But I like your way better the seed got strait tail. Paper towel kinda wiggly tail

Most 1990s Thai learn basic germination and plant before 10 years old. It's mandatory class in the school. But anyway a review from professional farmer always helpful.

Ps. Kinda shock when you mentioned that there is someone actually ask tail up or down. Obviously root go down...

I just did 5 different seeds and put them in shot glass for about 14hrs then onto paper towel and folded over from both sides of each piece and sprayed down, since I’m gone for work 5 days at a time I dropped them off at my moms and had her spray them regularly without over saturation. 3 days later (today) she text me a picture and all have beautiful tap roots. She will put into the pots I did up first thing tomorrow morning. HappyHappy! Love that this video came up, always love to brush up on each stage of the grow. Cheers 🇨🇦

I like the ease of this tutorial. Very nicely presented. Gene is the mr rodgers of growing weed.

[rickrudge]

I've always used the wet paper towel method with mixed results. I'm looking forward to trying the shot glass technique very soon. Thanks for sharing.

[crypticsoul]

I really like this because the tails are all nice and straight, which makes for easier transplanting. I am going to do this with my next crop

[jayenn]

I tried this. Worked a treat! Left them in a cup with a drop of hydrogen peroxide (11%) for about 3 days. All came through about a cm each. I potted them right away, and they all sprouted within 24hrs. Many thanks dude! The amount of times I’ve lost beans was stupendous (even with over a decade of experience)

This must be the best method by far that I’ve come across
