do I need to germinate and how do I do this

i have not received my seed yet , apparently it got lost but the shipper is re-sending it to me. in the caribbean here we just plant in the soil , but for other countries with snow you have to refridgerate for at least 2 - 4 weeks before planting.

These are very picky seeds they need to be around 80 degrees to germinate. Be Patient do not over water they will rot

Soak seeds over night in glass container or tea cup. Rinse in the morning and place on drain system. Seeds should cover the bottom of each container and not pile on each other. Rinse 2-3 times a day. Keep away from direct sunlight. Use common pin to clear debris from holes when clogged. Happy Sprouting!

Sue - you don't need light to germinate peppers. My method is to plant seeds at the required depth (on package) in boxes or pots and water well- (I always water newly planted seeds from the bottom ) I put a heating pad on low between two cookie sheets, place the boxes in plastic bags on the sheets. When 50% of the seeds have sprouted, I remove the plastic, take the boxes off the heat and put them under lights (lights should be only 3"-4" above the plants) The Hydrofarm is equipped to raise the lights as the plants grow. Let me know if I can help further. Shirley

Yes, it is definitely better to sprout by soaking/rinsing before planting, I've tried both ways and this one is the best one, enjoy!

Hmmm. The directions, I thought, were pretty clear. It's been a while since I used mine for broccoli sprouts.... but your seeds will stay in the inner container (after the rinsing and shaking process) for proper aeration, humidity and moisture. And that's where they'll begin sprouting.

Two ways. Soak seeds overnight then sow it in a pot and cover pot in plastic. Keep it moist until the seed germinate. 2, Crack the seed carefully then plant it same way as No 1. Do this around April onward. Do not let pot dry. Don't over water of seed will rot. Good luck

I just used the tip of my finger and rubbed the seeds off then I put a thin layer of soil over them. I really had a high germination rate with them!

You do have to drain the water. I think what it does is hept to germinate the wheat berries but you don't want them to sit in the water cause the wheat would go bad. I also only did this once a day. There are a bunch of "how to" videos about sprouting on YouTube.

Soak for 24 hours in room temperature water, than plant in a light soil. Keep moist but not wet until it sprouts (too wet and the seed will rot)

You are supposed to let seeds soak initially for a certain number of hours (approx 8-12 hrs depending on seed type). After soak to drain and rinse seeds. Most seeds require them to be rinsed and drained 2 times a day until they fully sprout. They should not be left in standing water and should be drained well after rinsing, so there should be no water left in the jar to drain out. There are some good youtube videos if you need further instruction. Hope this helps

They are fairly large, similar to a dried kidney bean. You will want to soak them in water over night or knick the outside with something sharp to get them to germinate.

Hello Belinda ... I think you should try. If you have the seeds, you have to follow all recomendations to simulate the enviroment to germinate them, then if you have germination try to be on shadow first. I think in Houston you have cold fronts in january mainly that can help to keep the plant in similiar conditions needs, but remember that the cherry needs to rest after flowering with the rains...

Hi Kathryn: I just rinse the seeds off before the initial soaking. I believe they are organic, so they should be fine. But contact The Sprout House if you are worried. Best, Sarah

Yea, you can use these to germinate any seed that fits inside. Just keep it moist and store in a warm, dark place until they sprout. The largest seed I've used is green beans, and it worked great for me. I've also had success with plain sponges, just cut them to size, cut a slit in the center, add seed + water + darkness. These are definitely the best thing on the market I've used to start seeds and clone plants.

I don't usually separate out non germinated seeds in a jar or any sprouter. It is up to you if you feel it is necessary then go ahead.

Depends on temperatureI planted this in Alaska & kept it damp for at least 2 weeks until it germinated. It is SLOW growing as advertised .
