Re: GERMINATE

Hello Kathie,
How do you germinate your seeds?
I'm new at this stuff.

My concern over even the filing of seeds, let alone removal of the shell, is
that of an old chicken farmer. When the kids got impatient for the hatch and
prematurely removed the chick by what may have been only minutes, the chick
never survived. Is my analogy way off base?

Bart, in Merry England where David lives, land of colours and catalogues,
bonnets and torches, he may be a genetisist.

I believe the word is "geneticist", not "genetisist". David may be a
poet,

however.

HI FOLKS



over the last 5 years I have studied various ways of germination that

experts have suggested and indeed have put forward evidence, however I
have

concluded, that, and have proved most seeds will germinate after 48 hours

in good conditions.All you need to do is remove the outer shell.

The removal of the Seed Hull is described as the Advance Seed Starting

Method and many growers like to use that method. However, if you have a
Seed


that



you may have just paid $400.00 for i think that the attempt to remove the

Seed Hull and the possibility of damaging the Seed Radicle in the process
is

something that only a VERY brave grower would do. As for general Seed

Germination you are correct in your observation that a 'Naked' Seed

will/may germinate

quicker.



Filing or sanding the Seed Hull down some will also help speed up

germination especially if pre soaked in some warm water and liquid
Seaweed

extract such

as Maxicrop after filing.
