I think Steve has said that it is good to get some air circulation at least once every couple of days by opening the container and fanning the medium.
Poking holes allows for some ventilation, but I am pretty sure it is also good to open the container and letting some fresh air in.
Peace!

THANK YOU!!!

UPDATE: I noticed one seed's roots have emerged! So, it took me 1 week and 2 days for the first seed's roots to emerge.

That's very quick Jut! Thanks for the update.

the green circles represents the germanated seeds. red of course means that there are just seeds there.

That's very quick Jut! Thanks for the update.

it is pretty fast how some seeds germanated so quickly tho, by tuesday, i had about 5 already germanating. Right now i count 8. ^_^

Great Jut.
I am one week behind you so I will check my seeds tonight and advise.
Peace!
E.S.

good job.
hope all the others germinate too!!!!!

Lol yea i actually i found 2 more that are germanating. . . I'm not really sure on how fast straight water germanation is in comparison. So basically i have a total of 9 germanated seeds

Also good luck you two! I hope you have more success than I ^_^

Alright. . . so im posting this pic a day early because i forgot that i will be busy almost all day tomorrow. .

Sooo. . .this is beginning Week 4 germanation. As you can see many of the seeds have germanated.

orange = a seed that i know the roots are coming through, but its not quite there yet.
red = seed not germanated
green = seed germanated

Yea, its been quite a success. . . like all of the other pictures, this is only a sample of the seeds. The population is basically the same picture as the sample!

I'm expecting to start seeing leaves by the end of this new week!!!

Enjoy!

Thanks for the update!

thats great for you man!!!!
i lost more than half of my germinated seeds after my pot was destroyed again and flipped over after my brother threw a ball at it on purpose!!!!
i seriously dont know what to do now.....

Tell him that if he does it next time, he won't have a ball anymore. Tell him you're going to pop it.

Great news Jut!
Unfortunately, I am still looking for my first signs of germination but it has only been 2 weeks and a couple days.
Thanks for keeping us updated weekly..I am hoping to join you shortly
Peace!

Awesome! That's a pretty good germination rate you have there!

Well, I dont think i need to use circles anymore. This is after 4 weeks of germenation ^_^ . . . just a little more and traps should start developing!

Enjoy!
