Ja, ihr schaut richtig, eine ausgediente Baby Flasche, einen Cocus Anzucht Topf (normale Töpfe gehen auch super), ein klein wenig Erde, ~22°C, nur ein klein wenig Wasser (Teelöffel Leitungswasser)⦠Mehr nicht. Bei mir dauert es im Schnitt nicht mehr als 3 Tage.
This is the oldest and best way to start seeds . . . plant them directly in your media, keep warm and moist just like we do with vegetable seed every spring. Eventually youāll find duds, but they are rare from decent stock, and some strainās seeds will take longer than 3 days to germinate . . .
Thatās where all the soaking/paper stuff came from, human nature; too many of us just canāt wait the 3-7 days to see if a seed is viable. We complicate the process and risk damaging seedlings just so we can see it happening and be involved rather than looking at a pot of dirt for days and wondering.
All that soaking and paper towel BS is for the grower, not the plant . . . unless someone can show me that it benefits a seedling and its root system to be handled and moved from one environment to another at the plantās most vulnerable time of life.
For future reference, the one thing I do see that you did wrong is sow the seed too shallowly . . . itās the most common cause of āHelmet Head.ā If youāll plant them just a bit deeper the seed will shed the hull as it turns and pushes up through the media.
