Ive planted in soil directly vs. soaking vs. germing them n putting to soil.Ive seen around a 2-4 day difference in reguards to soaking then to soil or dry seed to soil.ive only done since Ive started growing again around15-20 seeds.Helping friends n such.Ive found(since Ive never known about soaking till now)that soaking for 12-18 hours seems to speed up sprouting of my seeds by upto several days.I've always used the side method since old salts taught me that.makes sense I suppose to encourage a deeper taproot thats slightly healthier.I personally feel it doesnt matter as long as it takes and its healthy.but on a tech. level yessir Id love to know if this is a true method that helps again speed things up by a few hours vs. a day or four.hmmmm, food for thought,thanks.now i'll prolly go pop one into some soil n see what happens. :group:
