I watched this video 4 days ago. I decided to try it. Wow 3 days and tail hanging in water. Excellent method.

Good technique. I used to just put all seeds straight into dirt but then some would not germinate, and I would waste time trying to rescue them or give them "more time". In this way you get 100% confirmation of germination and no mystery as to what is happening beneath the dirt.

But in the glass, there was seeds in the bottom of the glass and maybe 5-6 seeds up but I had to much so I left them there. And today, after looking the Ziplock bag, went back to look in the glass the remaining seeds and theirs roots are more longer than the one in Ziplock!! What a surprise!

Gene has a ton of great information on his videos if you haven't check them out. Gardening should be simple plants know how to grow don't over think things taking notes and pictures is great to look back on and learn from mistakes and amazing results as well

I saw this and tried it. From my perspective, this is the best way to germinate a seed. Less than 48 hrs later i had tails. They was roughly 1/4"-1/2". Normally, Id soak the seeds first , do the paper towel method and then I sow the seed. You Saved me some time and you helped me mitigate loss by increasing my probability for success. That's some gangsta shit lol Thx for this!

I've always used the wet paper towel method with mixed results. I'm looking forward to trying the shot glass technique very soon. Thanks for sharing.

This was new to me as well. I tried it. Three days later long, straight tails ready for planting. Started growing about seven years ago, and saw a few videos on growing, that taught standard practice of pushing the seeds into the water to soak them. Did it that way until three days ago. Thanks Greengenes for posting this.

the great thing about this "tek" is it presoaks the hull of the bean properly, allowing it to crack open better later imho. i only do a 24h soak though, then straight to starter soil in heated dome at ~24°c soil temp. additionally, aloe and camomile tea, very low concentration, for hard to germinate old beans. take my word for it. blend 2-3 Aloe leaves with a small handfull of camomile flower, ~500ml water, strain through a cheesecloth or tight mesh. add a sip of this to each water glass.

I tried this. Worked a treat! Left them in a cup with a drop of hydrogen peroxide (11%) for about 3 days. All came through about a cm each. I potted them right away, and they all sprouted within 24hrs. Many thanks dude! The amount of times I’ve lost beans was stupendous (even with over a decade of experience) This must be the best method by far that I’ve come across

Another 24 hours, good for sowing. 48 hours, to get a perfect seedling, with a thick plump root. Root 3 x thickness of one pushed down to sink. Seed looks like it's about to explode. Exquisite..

paper towels have the downside of mold, drying out and your roots can grow into them, damaging them when putting into your medium. planting directly just relies on luck of nature. we use led lights why not use other artifical help?

I did this, it worked like a charm. Nice straight tap root

Float tech has been a great success for me . Then I premix my soil with pH 6.2-6.5 ro water to the point where when I grab and squeeze a handful a nice 3-8 drops comes out . Put in container , drop seed tail first . Then the difference is I told it with " dry" soil . It will suck moisture from the surrounding moistened soil but not too much and is still a very easy access point for the plant to easily break surface . 👍.

Greetings! Nice video man! I've never seen this method before and I was quite curious as I usually soak my seeds in a tiny glass with some distilled water for 12 to 36 hours and they almost always sink (without tapping even)... So a tip to those that want to try this: Slowly put your seeds in and try to only get the bottom half wet, it's as if when the water line covers the seed it sinks automatically, where if you slowly put them in and try to not submerse them fully, they should remain floating... but you're spot on, don't tap or touch them too much until those nice big taproots show! I'm going to give this a go man, I give thanks again for this informative video. I'll link to your video. Blessings! 🔥🔥

1 seed per glass. more work but less chance of touching the seed. just pour it with a little water into the medium, if you're carefull the root should just flush the right way into the hole of your medium.

Up to now, I thought the baggie method was the best thing since sliced bread, but this shot glass business seems even more logical. Thank you!

Pretty cool video- Definitely recommend float tek. Only way I germinate now constantly 100% germination rate. Seedling tails naturally grow up first & then hook down - so that they can get leverage to push through the surface. So I wouldn't put tails straight down more sideways to up( probably don't matter too much), & I would definitely use mycorrhiza directly to the roots during transplant to soil.

This is a new one for me. I will try this next time 👍🏼

Huge fan of floating beans. I dont let them sit in water for more than 24 - 36 hours tho. By then, they usually have cracked open and I put them directly into medium with a dome. Skip one day and by the next day, they are up. 3 days maximum from dropping into the cup. I prefer not to have so much taproot since they are pretty fragile. Once they crack open, I know the process has began. I have drowned many beans if I leave them in water for more than 36-48 hours.. but thats normally cuz they sink. I might have to try this method tho, since they are meant to keep floating.
