I switched to soaking seeds and then planting directly into the medium from the paper towel method. Haven’t touched a taproot since (due to clumsiness with the tweezers). Honestly I find that it saves a step for me as I used to soak for 12-15 hours and then place into the paper towel. Less manhandling and less exposure to potential pathogens for the seedling in my case. Whatever it takes to get happy little green sprouts! Happy growing all!
Thanks for the video , I havent had any luck growing but I'm not giving up. And I think I know what I have been doing wrong and that is over watering the seedling . I just had my last seed germinate overnight and has a 1/4 inch long root , so I'm going to plant it today . Thanks again for the video , I did start them in a wet paper towel and this is the only one that sprouted out of 4 .
😂 😂 😂 I thought exactly the same (6:45 min), until a gardening pro (different gardening but still) asked me about the habitat the plant is coming from 😳🤔 It doesn't matter which plant sort it is, all if them are not in swamps or in wett areas, and that's why the seeds should be used as the natural way would be! They also grow faster and are much healthier because they are fit from day one! No water shocks! No 24h in water, nothing, directly into the soil and a little bit of wet earth around (nothing crazy)! Himalay (dry and high up with a high uv), Mexico, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Africa, Europe it doesn't matter where you look, all sorts (almost 100%)are in normal or dry areas to find, NO SWMAPS OR WATER PLANT! I was shocked too in the first week and I tried to read and research as much as I can, and yeah, IT NOT ONLY SOUNDS LOGICAL, IT MADE ME THINK ABOUT "MASS HYPNOSIS" WITH THIS 24H IN WATER, THEN WETT PAPER TOWL ETC, ITS INSANE IF YOU GO FROM A NATURAL AND LOGICAL POINT OF VIEW! Ask about any other plant, and there are no plants who need a completely different environment as seedlings, and then a totally different in grow phase!
I would say the medium. Hey but as someone watching for the first time. What do I know? Nothing! That again is why I’m watching. Thanks for teaching me!
It's been awhile since my last experiment video and these ones are fun to make. Were you surprised by the results?

the one 24 hour
Planted directly into soil. Been growing that way since the 60s. Its natures way😎
Glad I watched this video first. It's my first time and I will definitely put them in the soil from the beginning. Thank you.
I think paper towel will come first.
Agreed
So I used compost from my chickens coop to do a grow. The compost is very thick soil will my seeds still sprout and grow?

When you plant them directly into soil, do you leave them under lights? 18/6? Thanks
If planting in soil, do i keep light on? TY
Good job man, your what the people need.
I personaly have the best experience planting them in the medium instantly i have troubles’s with germinating them in a towel or water glass

Great video, now how long i keep the seedlings in the house before putting them outside in larger pots
I forgot to stir up the soil before adding my seed. Will my seed still sprout? My first grow.
Ocean forest will burn seedlings… make sure not to overwater if you dare use it

U talk about them need oxygen but then u put bags over them??? Those shells should be off by the time they pop up out of the soil
Thank you I'm gon try this cuz mines ain't germinate with paper towel methods
I would say the ones you soak first then put into paper towel would do the best
Great vid man just what I was looking for. Cheers 👍🏻
So what steps would you take if no grow tent good video
Thank you much for the experiment
Direct seeder here. This year will be the 50th year since my first patch. If it works, don’t fix it.
24 hour soaked then into medium should pop 1st
How often did you water the seeds?
Would these methods work with Tabasco pepper seeds?
