Need help with Germination!!!!

[ItzRagnarok]

Okay, so I have been trying to get some seeds to germinate but none of them want to! I have tried almost every way I could look up, if there is some kind hearted person out there that could give me there best way(telling me how long it took you, and your method).

P.S. I have not been getting any good seeds, and/or not any! :[

Get a beer cup, put some soil in it, plant seed under soil just a few centimeters, make sure soil stays moist and warm, flouros don't need to be close, just to get some light, should sprout if the seeds are good in a few days...

hi

IMHO the best way is to put your beans into water (not too cold) for 24 hours
then, you put the seed between two makeup cotton (little watered) in warm (minimum 20°) piece and without lights

then, one day later, the seed germs, then you can put it in soil

tell us more about your seeds, where does they come from ? are they old ? are they homemade ?

My seeds are from either a quarter or half oz I get. I use to get good seeds but I didnt have any need for them at the time. any place that has some good seeds? show me a link(only sites that you have tried, and used)

Cut off the pointy tip of the seed and, soak overnight in rainwater or water with a few drops of seaweed extract. Works for me.

Isnt it bad to try to open a seed?

It is not since you're careful.

I was about to describe exactly the same process!
I cut off the first milimeter of the pointy tip, making sure not to hurt the future taproot. Using this method I got 100% germ rate on beans that previously had around 30% germ rate (hard shelled AFs, even scuffing was givin me bad rates)!
I have found the soaking optional if you take out the pointy tip, but I suggest trying several ways until you find out what suits you best.


Edit: get your beans either at Seedbay or Seedboutique!

Go to walmart or any other store that sells seeds and practice on those first. A seed is a seed!

I simply put the bean in a moist rapid rooter plug and keep at about 70f and dark. I get almost 100% germ rate like this within about 24-48 hours. I don't need to cut the seed, scuff, or presoak. I like to keep it simple.

Good News Everyone! I planted some seeds just straight in the ground and about a week went by and I got nothing well 3 weeks later(now) I went outside just to see, and standing out was a little root. Hopefully it didnt dry out. But keep posting ways to germinate on here.

I have had success with seeds by holding them between my thumb and forefinger and lightly scraping the ridge with a sharp knife. I don't open the seed, but I do this to take away a little extra resistance. I get about a 75% success rate when doing this on strictly old seeds. It increases with newer seed IMO.
