for me the paper towel method took to long I had to sleep on it while it
was doing it’s thing then I woke up early in the night and thought if I put
my gloves on and put them inside the glove to keep them warm it may work It
did. All I do now is soak them in water one night no more then three just
until they sink to the bottom then put them in the soil and a day later wah
lah the backyard bees alerted me to the 4″ pot I had them in to see the
leaves were popping out already. good luck everyone with whatever method
you choose. Peace

jason, with your greenhouse method how are the seeds positioned in the
hole? pointed side up or down or on it’s side?does it make a difference? I
heard that pointed side up puts less stress on the seed . thanks
wonderful information
And by no way was I trying to down on you..I respect what you do, I believe
you are a great aid in the cannabis movement. ..but propagation of seeds
are a personal technics, there is no one way and that does not mean you
will alter genetics …he’ll maybe your plastic containers during
propagation react to the seeds ever changing there genetics …so many
“maybes” but paper towel propagation is not going to alter your genetics
for the worse just because one person has bad luck with the
method….wonder how many strains that are of the highest level that were
created with the paper towel method? ….OK then.
Keep up the Great Work. Thanks for all the knowledge that you have shared
and continue to share with everyone. Salute to a Grow G’
You’re superb! Keep up the good work!
i think i’m goin to try this method. my last paper towel run wasnt
successful as it used to be. Thx for always Keepin the KNOwledge Goin
Around…#RESPECT
If you did not know.
Paper towels work just fine..I have a 90 percent success rate and no loss
of genetic potential. .I also transplant them from the towel without the
light shock you speak of..I usually love your vids..but I completely
disagree. .like you and many others..we all have been growing for many
years..I have never had these problems you speak of with towel propagation.
.so it is clearly different strokes for different folks..but teaching
people that a way is more wrong then another just because YOU can not
successfully achieve your goal that method is not cool…you can not prove
by your personal study that one way is better. .credit you do say you can
do whatever way, but you included a throw the beans in a hole will work
method as well, clearly making one way seam worse then another. .your green
house method is no different then us putting paper towel propagated seeds
into a humidity dome…much easier then wasting money on plastic wrap….
genetics are messed up by using a paper towel to propagate. .and drinkable
tap water in the u.s. contains perfect amounts of chlorine to fight
infection. .so no need for peroxide. .and this has been done for
decades…so why hate on a method you are not good at I guess…..hope to
see less bias opinions on grow methods.
instead of individual plastic wrap, what about putting all the tiny pots
inside a simple plastic shoebox +covering the box with lids that come with
these shoeboxes? It would be a lot easier to build, easier to check, and
wouldnt require use of nonrenewable plastic wrap over and over
That’s dude … Happy to see your back and sharing the tru on the tube
