Hi all,
I thought I'd share this ghetto-style seed germination technique:
Of course you need somewhere warm to germ seeds, so the usual places are on top of a warm ballast, on top of a gas boiler, a pro heated propagator, etc, but what if it's cold in your place, and you don't have access to any of the above??
Fear not, because here's how to do it, lol!
- Have two plates with moist kitchen roll on them (spray with water using spray gun), put seeds on one plate and cover with the other plate.
- Boil about a litre of water in a pan & then turn off the heat
- Use another plate and put it on top of the pan (for insulation, to stop the seed plates getting too hot)
- Put your seed plates on top of the other plate
- Monitor the temperature of the seed plates & keep them warm
- Remove insulation barrier plate when the water starts to cool
- Keep spraying occasionally to keep the tissues moist
- Reheat the water in the pan as required
After a day or two, the seeds will crack, and you can transfer them to your medium
Peace
