I just had issues with some seeds, (Speed Bud - Auto Kush) . At first I thought maybe they got too hot and that killed them, but I have come to believe that I had some bad seeds.
I went from the ronin method to dropping them in to water and then after they popped, in to my jiffy cubes. I germed two and one was from the old pack of seeds that the others didn't germ from and that girl is looking mighty sickly.
This leads me to believe that it was not the method of germination, but seeds that were duds. It's cool as I do understand that it happens!
From now on, I will drop them in to water and then transfer to a paper towel and then in to my jiffy cubes. So far it's working better than the other methods I've tried!
I will add that when they go in to my jiffy cubes, I seal them in to a plastic coffee container for a day or so and I burp this container each day until the are up and wanting to reach towards the light. At this point I take them out of the coffee container and then put my jiffy cube in to my medium. I also put down my heat mat and I also started putting a wet sponge in a plastic baggie and my coffee container on top of that to keep them from getting too hot, just in case!
Except for the one girl who;s looking bad, it seems to be working well!
