It's really refreshing watching a grow tutorial that isn't filled with a bunch of pseudo science and growers speaking from anecdotal experience. Can't wait for the rest of the series, loving it so far!
Respectfully that's exactly what this is, there was not one single study referenced although I trust mrcoco far more than 99/100 of the others out there

Love your guidance Dr MJ Coco. I’d like to see more “How To” videos beyond germination. This video was amazing and extremely helpful. A complete video series covering germination through trim and cure would be very helpful to new growers.
Another awesome tutorial! I am a new grower and have used this germination method three times myself. I had success all three times! Thanks, Dr. Coco!!
This has got to be the most awesome germination video I have ever seen.. So detailed.. Terminology I never knew existed.. Tbh tho, I don't really care for the paper towel part tho.. Everything else is the way I do it.. I float the seeds for about 12-24 hours.. They have already sunk and in some cases cracked open. I like to put the cup(s) on top of my light's driver.. GREAT source of heat for germinating.. I then put the girlie straight into the medium.. Putting a clear cup over her for the humidity dome.. But I rather just put them straight into medium after floating, sinking and cracking open (usually about 24 hours or less).. Due to the tails going all crazy and easily breakable.. And root hairs getting caught in the paper towel.. But this is awesome, grow bro! Thank you for sharing! Can't wait to see the next video!!! 🌱🌿🌲🌼🔥💨👍 love the website.. I will ALWAYS grow in coco/perlite, fabric pots, hydroponic nutes.. It's BY far the easiest, most forgiving way to grow.. Although, I am not able to use frequent fertigation.. I MOSTLY water once a day.. Sometimes every 2 days.. So I have to implement water, feed, water, feed, etc. to avoid salt build-ups.. I prefer watering by hand because I fucking love these ladies and cant help but want to do something to help them at least once a day 😂😂😂... So automated wont work for me.. I need my daily fix.. I would like to try coco, worm poo and some organic amendment line.. But organics makes me a bit nervous.. When do I do teas? And can I even grow organically if my tap water is at 250 PPM and it contains the "non-chlorine" bs, chloramine or whatever?? I hate that so much.. Is it even possible to remove the chloramine (or whatever) without using a wasteful RO system? Its like it takes 3 gallons to make 1 gallon of clean water.. The fuck? No thanks.. We are already being charged once for the water coming into the house... And once for the water leaving the house... Thay just sounds like a kindergartener made it up.. Smh.. Anyways.. Long ass comment lol.. Sorry.. I am a little sToNeD...
Your website was the single most helpful source of info for me on my first run. I’d like to say I have a green thumb, because it came out better than I could have ever hoped for, but I simply followed your instructions. Thank you!
@@DrMJCoco big time grower love man! I just sent a friend your website cause he has been questioning me on how I was able to grow such a good crop on my first grow.
This is the best seed germing tutorial I have found. You are very concise in your descriptions. I'm going to go read some of your resources on the website. Thanks to you last week I chose the sp3000 for a 2x4 tent. When I saw your PPFD readings and review the decision was made. Unbelievable! Thank you so much for what you do.
Thank you for the video! In "Stage1", sparging + beneficiaal fungi or phytohormones helps a lot with floating seed problem and softening seed shell, plus it increase level of O² in water and prevent anaerobic organisms reproduction in water. With this method, i sprouted tomato seeds that expired 10 years ago. If you have weak aerator, just use it. Sorry for bad English.
Cool a seed to harvest I've been hoping the Dr would do one of these this should be good to watch! I seen Dr uploaded a video 4 hours ago like wtf why didn't I get notified days ago like Normally so I could watch live but not that kind of video. Thanks Dr for the new info next run I'm trying the sandpaper trick good video looking forward to the rest. Have a good day!
I have seen your work recently on build a soil page and love the way that you explain things, brother! I have had a bunch of seeds fell recently, and I've been looking for a different approach, and a well explained guide, and the fact that I had to replay the first five minutes like three times just to obtain all of the information made me bust out the notebook! Thank you for this ordering jiffy pellets as we speak!
Hi guys really enjoying classes learning so much so much to take on but getting there keep up the good work and looking forward to next lesson thanks again
Should be able to give another thumbs up seeing this is my second time watching it . You review was the main reason for buying a light . thank you ... ( fc3000 for a 3x3)
Great video! I'm a first time grower and am following your guide closely! Love the videos to go along with the site. Did you ever make a part 2 for this video or decide to continue a series like that. Very informative and helpful. Thank you so much!
That's the thing with seeds, you want them all to pop, the cost I'm finding is crazy for 80% success, I've reached out to company and did get replacement seeds ,anyone else agree that the cost is high?
@Rick Goodman you can't compare a clone to a seed! The cost is only a part of it ,if you have a space that you want filled ,,well you need all the seeds to at least pop in order to fill your canopy!
Considering the work breeders put in and the value of the plant, I think seeds are cheap. One seed can potentially pay for your entire grow and a pile of seeds. If you know how to do it. It takes years to stabilize strains.
Which method for popping seeds do you use if you don't mind me asking? maybe can make a few adjustments to either bring that percentage up and or see if the seeds are good in the first place
I’m so excited to find this video. And finding your channel is just the start of my success In this coming grow season I am planing. It would be great if I could contact you through email to discuss some few questions I have on growing and amendment management. Also plant microorganisms good and bad. Thank you friend.
i found using a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in a little bit of water works great! Using the wet paper towel method here btw. If you wanna boost the germ rate even more I use a very very very small bit of humic and fulvic acid and a tiny bit of kelp into the water. Then add in a tiny aloe leaf and blend that all up. Then filter the liquid gold into a other cup and then soak the paper towel in it for a good 10 secs. All the hormones in them will make that tap root pop out like nothing in under 3 days! Usually see the tap root withen a day or two
Great video, however in your article about germinating seeds it says to use 320 grit sandpaper and here in the video you say to use 220 grit...nothing major at all but could be confusing to someone just starting out...which do you prefer to use?
I know this is an old video Question- I germinated and sprouted seeds but the soil I had them in was not loamy and seemed to be suffocating them. I moved them into HP Promix last night and solo cups. When I was transplanting them , I made sure to get the root out of the older soil so that it can be touching the HP promix instead. Anyone have experience with this and it positively impacting growth? If not- all good - I will just stat some new seeds up- I ordered 25 of them so this is only like 6 of them that are potentially stunted. I am going to give it a few days to bounce back and for the seedlings to start growing rapidly and showing some progress. If no progress in a week - I will try with some new ones and follow this method above. Thanks for the video! Definitely helpful and educational.
I trusted your science until you told people to set their heat mat on Fahrenheit :C jk, best germination guide out there, and I looked a bunch! New sub! ps: I am convinced now that my issues originate from mainly the lack of peat during transfer. Last winter I failed I thought I could blame the lack of heat but now it's super hot and I failed another batch, but it was too dry. I believe peat would have shielded it a bit more. I do wonder where this leaves liquid mycorrhizae though, can we use too much? I usually use it starting from the soak, because it's a fungi technically that binds directly with the root tissue so it doesn't need the soil environment or photosynthesis to do its job, but now I wonder if it can stun them if using it too early by idk, maybe pumping energy out of the seedling before it can sustain the energy demand until it has leaves.
H202 is used by some for added o2 in case the radicle exposes it combats against "drowning" from lack of aerobic transpiration. But it's not necessary..I use plain tap. There's a fine line between adding oxygen and frying the embryonic root. It's for this reason I never recommended this course. Grower love
I have a question. I have germinated my seed and then moved it to rock wool but I’m not seeing any sprouting and it’s been 5 solid days should I give up ? I have a light on full spectrum also should I use the blue light for veg or the red light I’m not ti sure what to do
So I bought 420 Fast buds seeds and was amped for my first grow. Started all 5 and all 5 died. 2 never came up once they popped in water and were moved to solo cups. The other 3 sort of came up but died within 24 hours. Discouraged and back to the drawing board feeling a little defeated. Frustrated one day I joked with my wife and put 2 seeds from an old bag that nobody would grow and well... I intentionally did EVERYTHING wrong. Poked the holes in the soil with a wanky old paint brush covered in toxic paint, buried the seeds waaay too deep and totally saturated the soil leaving it waterlogged. I then took them and put them in a west facing window (I live in upstate NY where it is currently a snuggly 26°) and left them there with the freezing draft from the 100 year old window literally on the cups and walked away after giving them the finger. A few days later... GERMINMUTHAFAKINATION!!!! I give up.
Fastbuds seeds are so sensitive it’s crazy. I germinated 6, all the same strain conditions etc. All 6 were totally different in vitality ranging from almost dead/limp or crispy to okayish but still pale wishywashy shades of green. Chose the best 3 and moved through the cycle. It’s not till mid veg before they pick up. I think it’s the auto flower genetics that makes them rather sensitive. I just don’t understand the variation when all receive the same treatment… anywho rant over.
Quick question, a little bit more detail on the light. Do you keep it on 24 hours when they're in the seed stage and once they germinate to keep it on?
I have 2 strains that are at least 4 years old. I didn't refrigerate them. I did keep them in their little zip lock bags, inside an envelope in my CD cabinet. It has doors so the inner atmosphere isn't quite as warm or cool as the outside room temperature fluctuates. Do you think they would be dead or could they be cracked? Blockhead x AK47 photo reg. and Auto Lemon Haze fem.
I see you are using distilled water for this. Substituted - Would you recommend using RO which is more around the PH 6 mark or Tap water around the PH7?
This is hands down the most detailed germination tutorial online ❤
hands down shaking down lol
First time grower here. I'm germinating in 1% H2O2 solution for 2-3 days.
Most detailed Guide i have come across #Respect

@@B01afaik there's a study of germination with h2o2.
Also, most knowledge is devised from basic plant knowledge.

Another Excellent video, I am actively planning a grow, and I will grow in coco following mostly Dr. MJ Coco's method.
Great video! Thanks for the tips on where to put the heating pad sensor and about swirling the water to make sure the seed is mobile!!!

Round Cotton makeup pads work great too
a little soil on top of the sprout gives it a bit of a struggle to overcome, which produces a heartier seedling.

Would the seeds still grow if I put wm in the jiffy before the root comes out as in the seed just got cracked
When will the next video on the series be out?
After my seeds germ and I get a sprout, most "pinch off" halfway through the stem and die. Any advice? I germ inside then bring outside.
Great vid but damn you doing the most lol. I just place them in jiffy pellets with heat mat and place them in drawer lol
Where do I add the code coco heat for the discount on the heating mat. Thanks.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
the continuation video pls send link
Where can I buy all this?
Shells have nutrient and protection properties
I put my seeds under my blanket cos I got a bed warmer and then in a draw they cracked on the second day
Will adding microbes to coco coir a waste?
Part 2 of this video?
Kuruga nimog kamot oi hahaha
Its better to use tweezers to transfer from paper towel to media.
Man oh man did you just teach me what a freaking terrible screw up I did,
Where is the next video! Did he forget to make??
I've always just planted the seeds once they've cracked. Never needed paper towels.
Didn't work my seed just got squishy and didn't sprout
Should have a couple shots before you work bro, might sort out those shakes
Coffee filters.... no snags.
100 years later, where’s the next video?
