Distilled with a few drops of hydrogen peroxide is what I use.
I doesn’t take a lot of water. A shot glass 1/2 to 3/4 full is fine.
Peroxide adds a little oxygen and disinfects the liquid.
Just a few drops in a little water is all that’s needed.

I use well water from the tap in a shot glass after 24 hours on to the paper towel Method.

Thanks, how about light cycle for autoflowers

I sprout all seeds under 24/0 or at the very least 18/6 .
24/0 for a week will keep it from stretching when its just starting out… Once past a week it wont stretch as much and you can adjust the light to whatever you like.
Autos like 18/6 over all.

I put seeds directly into moist happy frog soil. I get 100% germination.

I tried every method known to exist.
Something always works, sometimes.


“Seedling Mini-van” for outdoor day tripping.

Also works for the challanged, who drop things.
Even better, provides a happy home for monitoring and controlling, all at once.
