I was JUST reading that *lol*
Oh I'm not knocking the h202 soak!! Too many talented growers like Shed have vouched and do it.

Agreed. To each his own. Some methods are tried and true for some and a hell no I won't go for another. Like me, I keep it simple, I work with the soak n paper towel, no dome no heat mat. Rex has his soak and rapid root and heat mat. Morda his h2o2 soak. Some just drop seeds in the dirt and make it work...clearly this is the area you said you need to find your niche at, so hopefully, one of these many methods presented to you will help you achieve success germing when your new seeds get there (and your new light)!Oh I'm not knocking the h202 soak!!

But I'm one of those people that always likes to show both sides of the coin, if that makes sense.
My methods are far from the conventional- but they've brought me success. I'm just adding to the conversation
The key factors are:
All your doing is trying to recreate a warm spring to get the Seed to Crack like it would in nature. And the more steps added to a process, the higher the likelihood of a mistake (at least for me
- Seed health
- Moisture levels within the Seed and medium/environment
- Warmth
That's the only reason I share how I do it (furthering conversation). There's soo many different germination methods on here, we all find our methods and tend to stick with them.
I GREATLY appreciate and value your inout! And yup - more than one way to skin a cat.Oh I'm not knocking the h202 soak!! Too many talented growers like Shed have vouched and do it.

As @Carcass said: “I can be patient - to a point”
And like I said...guuuuurrrlll u best be getting to finding that patience-maybe Amazon started selling some!
No but Hubby just asked me why i was sitting in the corner rocking back and forth and sucking my thumbHope you're in an empty room with a padded wall while you do that
I’ll go have a look!
I get excited every time I think about doing it! One day.
If its in dirt and I touch it - it dies. But for some reason I do well with my AeroGardens and my hydro!Good morning J-Bird
Nice to see another lady grower. Everyone in here is so fancy when it comes to seeds with your damp towel and fuss. I pop them straight into dirt and their heads pop up usually within 4 days.
I am looking forward to watching your grow order and magic

Are you growing in water so the roots are exposed?
I know, right?
Me to a T!I know, right?
I seem to need 3 seeds to get 1 plant- the interesting thing is- I'm not getting any better at it....
Well, they’re not in dirt, but they’re in a water in a light-tight environment!
J-Bird stick close to this bloke. He grows like a Green God! I’m not sure if you train yours, but this guy has these CarhooksI know, right?

and they are a game changer. They have changed both the structure of my plants and increased the yield amount. I seem to nearly kill them once they hatch. Hey and 1,2,3 back to me. I’m uppotting my monstercropped clones today. They all lived
