help with the seeds

[dreamci]

hello , this is my first post, thanks for you all for this great community.
i havent grow anything before but i want to . i bought some weed from a local dealer some days ago and there were seeds in the buds.

i get the seeds to grow but i am not sure they are alive or not they are very tiny , i want to learn if they will germinate and grow these are pictures of the seeds.

Those seeds look just fine. Possibly chuck the smallest one, but I've heard of small ones being fine as well.
Your best bet would be to try germinate them with damp paper towels. only sure fire way to see if they'll pop.

 

[Headcase]

yeah, pop those suckers.

get a small plate, put a damp folded paper towel over the plate, then put the seeds on, and then cover with another damp paper towel. Cover this with a tupperware container, and put it in a warm spot. like on top of a router or monitor

 

[dreamci]

thanks for replies, generally how long does it take them to pop

 

[stihgnobevoli]

if you do it right a couple of days to 72 hours. if you did it wrong a week till never.

if you look in the main growing section theres a thread about germing seeds that was started a few days ago. i suggest reading my post. im all about the paper towel method but too lazy to type all that out again.

You can also try soaking the seeds over night in a tea cup full of distilled water & then using the paper towel method as the others have said. This works pretty well also.

I like to soak them for 24 hours and plant them, regardless of whether they crack or not. Once the taproot gets pretty long, it makes things a little bit more complicated. And yeah, never throw away a bean if it came from a good smoke... You never know what you're gonna get, even if the bean is a runt.

I put my seeds in a small, air-tight plastic container with a touch of Superthrive in tap water, throw it into my aero-cloner (water temp is 79 degrees) & let it bob around for 24 hours. Then right into 18oz. solo cups with FF HappyFrog soil or into damp, warm, paper towels if they're older seeds.
Mandala Mike says to germ right in the soil - no pt's, no soaking...

 

[~fvk~]

Yeah, Mandala Mike seems like a very knowledgeable guy but I get perfect results with soaking HIS beans, lol. It's all a roll of the dice and personal preference...

I like the paper towel method, that way I know that there's a tap root and don't have to worry about when they'll peep out of the soil.

No matter how you germ them, you need to get started!
