Humboldt Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hi, in my amature adventures Ive always struggled germinating many native seeds that would be carried on the wind. Even with fresh seed. Ive been surface sowing under warmth/humidity and without. Have tried take away tek. I tried to be mindful of dampening off. Any hot tips appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterboy 2.0 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Possibly very fine grained seedmix/seed bed helps ensure an adequate seed contact for moisture to move to the seed, and maintain it through germination until a decent root footprint develops and the plant can "hunt". A lot of aster' family, even lettuce I treat as a time to get out the sieves. Typically even "seed raising" mixes are not fine grained enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterboy 2.0 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) No probs my bro Another thought... Are you reticulated or raintank (bore - rarer) in your neck of the wood ? Edit- a lot of the islands rural reticulated is pretty fckn loose in regards to treatment residuals.
