Excellent Writeup On This Method

Unfortunately, as a grower for 15 years, I don't recommend it. You want to know what sprouting seeds in paper towels is for? You put 100 seeds in a bag with a paper towel and get it damp. Wait a few days and then count how many sprout. Now you can tell people what percentage of your seeds are viable. 99 sprout, 99% viable. Easy, peasy.

Just because someone once said "Hey... are you going to throw those out now?" Doesn't make it the most recommended way to sprout seeds. :)

The Horticultural World Has it Down

and that's to plant the seed in moist medium and let it sprout. I've planted seeds for 15 years, soaked em, scuffed em and all kinds of wives tales. You want to know the secret to seed sprouting?

Healthy Seeds

Wet the media you're using, plant the seed, keep it moist without being soggy and around 70-75F. Anything which sprouts will generally be healthy enough to provide decent cannabis. I plant seeds meant for hydroponics in vermiculite or another media which washes off easily.

Handling Sprouted Seeds

is an easy way to infect the plants. Should you do this, please be sure to use clean hands. ;) I rarely had an issue in the past, it just really sucks to lose a seed because something was on your hand. Planting directly in the media being used skips this. ;)

do what you need. :) Feminized seeds are awesome for a variety of grow situations. :) Here's a tutorial on creating Feminized Cannabis Pollen, for creating feminized seeds. :)

Go Be AWESOME! :D
