If you really want to try using real “oxygenated water,” take a tip from the beer people. They have been brewing beer wort a long time using oxygen (pure100% compressed oxygen) and their results are, well, very impressive.
DWC/RDWC hobby growers brew teas and other microbial concoctions after they catch a dose of the Pythium fungi, that’s after their cannabis roots have suffocated from low DO, die and decay, but they are fixated on air, air pumps, bubble rocks, water chillers and cold water. Most hobby growers know about air, but have not discovered the use of oxygen (O2) yet like the beer brewers.
Explore a real new horizon - Google: ”brewing beer wort with oxygen” Make the micro-world thrive and multiply.
If you cannot see, feel or taste any difference between O2 gas and ambient air, what difference does it make?

Why would I do a side-by-side when this method is superior in all ways.

1)It's a clean bottled-water you start with.
2) put the seeds in there with the bubbles.
3) Wait 17hrs
4)sow them or put into paper towel if you want even faster.

This method is 4 to 24hrs faster. You will see. Try it. Don't even think twice about it.

Someone right now is using this, because I taught them.

You can leave it in for 10hrs and then bubble it if you want. That's what I did last batch and 1 1/2 inch tails 3 days later from first water. Yes, I know that's long, other ones had to catch up.

Yep, I get the same results in soil with good seeds. Hell, I don't even soak em. Pop it in the soil and water it well, popped up and hull off in 3 days, all on it's own.

I can see doing this water route for hard to sprout or older seeds. Being able to add additional nutrition is very handy.

There's an after-effect, if you will. Douglas. Later the plant waxes the shit out of any other plant.

Use seedling soil. It's a seedling. C'mon now. It's super super duper high-drainage you want.

Please understand that even if you somehow got yours up and open from first touching water in 3 days, most don't.

I've also been doing a cold night, and 50hz vibration for one hour.

The seeds definitely don't care. Zero need to pursue O2 gas for seed germination. It's also a waste in a cannabis grow, when significantly cheaper equipment produces the same results.

15+ years with cannabis and I don't see anything exciting or new here... my experiments were years ago. Show me side by side of this fantastic growth difference and I'll be impressed. Show me the same plant continuing to outpace it's siblings a month later and I'll add it to my seed sprouting regimen. In my experience, in less than 2 weeks you won't be able to tell which is which without a label.

Breeding and found the genetics you're looking for? Definitely mass sprout and dump the duds. Anything not popped and pushing for the sun in 3 days is problematic. Anyone know of a bangin strain which takes 2 weeks to sprout, always?

I dont see it helping in any way. Show us some superior results. Although most of us get 100 percent anyway or damn close to with fresh seeds so not much room for improvement. There may actually be a benefit but you gotta prove there is one. Suppose if you can beat 100 percent germ lol then we might understand.

Petflora whats the deal with the salt?

[angelgoob]

I got 7/7 and 4/4.

and two seeds were small. one was white and didn't have much weight.

So there's that.

And again you need seedling soil after.

16hrs bubbling with mycorhizzae, and then sow.

It's pretty extreme, but Germinate your seeds in an aerated water solution to help supplement oxygen to the embryo.

To make my aerator, I took an air tube and plugged one end, and punched a bunch of holes with a thick needle through the vinyl tube to act as aerators. I don't know why people don't do this more often, it's the cheapest air stone solution I could think of, and it works great.

The bubbles cycle the water around just like a dryer, which helps submerge all the seeds and prevents unevenly exposed floaters.

Sometimes when the climate is with me

I often add my scarified seeds to my AACT, sounds dangerous

but its either very lucky or really dumb

but works

I also add aloe vera 1tsp to to the aact

once they crack I lay on my damp kitchen towel

easy

AACT?

hehhe.

wut? sorry.
