[QUOTE="kingofnobbys, post: 1962565, member: 81934"] Called my elder sister this afternoon who has a market farm ( near the Sunshine Coast in SE QLD ) , she suggested the ziplock germination approach is OK for some plants after I saw a few Utubes that made it looks OK , she uses it to start off her some herbs and veg ( in commercial quantities ) so I decided to give a go , advantage is you soon see what seeds are viable and the seedlings then go into peat pots to harden outside or direct into the ground . [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=jw4qcNOeAxA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=jw4qcNOeAxA[/url] another approach [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=w2DvUh6uLIM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=w2DvUh6uLIM[/url] ( I refresh the wee airgap using a straw every couple of days - plants need CO2 and H2O to grow , and in the sealed bag , the CO2 will become depleted over 2 or 3 days , and the moisture will permeate through plastic and escape ). another approach ( I might try ) [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=PiQHGJUjVAs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=PiQHGJUjVAs[/url] Transplanting to seedling trays or coir pots ( leggyness due to prop in low light ) [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Qg9RlStYTQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Qg9RlStYTQ[/url] UPDATE :: the sprouts are a bugger to extract in tact from the soggy paper towels (roots really get in amongst the paper fibres and grip , very hard to get sprouts out without breaking off some of the root system , nonetheless I managed to get some out more or less in tact and transferred them to mini-coir pots --- not optimistic they'll survive and it's really fiddlely . Think , unless I they survive and grow - I'll put the papertowel & ziplock method down as a flop. [/QUOTE]
