    Default Growing Seed Advice Wanted

    I've never grown before so wanting advice on exactly how to germinate the seed and also what light to put it in, or would a windowsill be ok until it sprouts?

    Ive bought some Root Riot starters, are these reliable?

    Let the seed/s have a good overnight soak




    You need a tupperware type container & a paper towel





    Fold the towel



    And fold again



    Wet the towel & lightly squeeze out any excess water



    ...and line the bottom of the container



    put the seeds in



    ...and cover with the rest of the towel



    Pop on the lid and job done



    Keep somewhere warmish & wait

    Ok that's perfect.

    Once they have sprouted and I've put them in Root Riot plugs. What sort of lighting do I use at first and how far is bulb to be?

    Same mate, I feel the paper towel technique I out dated and from the days when seeds were not as reliable as thy are now. Putting them into paper towel and waiting for tap root, showed which seeds would actually pop. Nowadays, getting good genes online, and giving them the right conditions, every seed should sprout.

    Sometimes i do have to move them to chsnge there direction. it helps if you have a source of heat such as a heat mat or boiling cupbourd. Also i use a selfwatering propergator to keep them wet while in the boiling cupboard. Im haveing high sucsess doing it this way. Everyone has there own methods that work for them.
