Guess that would be a cloning / germination shed!

IMO, the inclusion of this photograph in the guide is a net negative. Thinking about inexperienced growers visiting this thread, it's highly likely that they're going to assume that a multitude of expensive, bottled "nutes" and "boosters" are necessary tools.

So, I've read this entire post a bunch of times. I've also read through many of the texts available for beginning grows. I've collected seeds from friends, mostly old, that I've tried to germinate without success. Let's see... I've..
-soaked them in water... nothing
-put them between moist paper towels... nothing
-soaked them and put them between paper towels and gently heated them on top of my cable box... nothing
-tried gibberellic acid, got one to pop, but by the time the tap root grew to >2 mm it turned slightly brown and did nothing when placed into soil
-chipped the seed coat and soaked in gibberellic acid... waiting to see what happens.
Should I assume that the seeds are simply of poor quality and old (useless) or should I try something else?
Opinions are welcome. Of course, I'm new to all of this and I don't expect to get fantastic results the first time, but figured I'd see a seedling by now.. Lol....

funka, sounds like the seeds are old, and when they are too old, it is problematic to get them to germinate. could also be they were not stored properly.
try to find fresh seeds.
if you just plant fresh seeds directly into a light soil, and the soil is kept lightly wet, they will sprout no problem. you can also put fresh seeds in a glass of clean water and the seeds should crack between 24-36 hours, after which you must transplant to a proper medium.
keep in mind that for the germination to happen, the ideal temperatures will be between 22 and 27 Celsius degrees. the seeds can germinate under 22 and over 27, but are not ideal temps...
good luck!
