[@DrewVerdin]

We have done tests. Not all floating seeds are bad seeds. Most will still grow. Don't throw your seeds away just plant them all.

[@Mulletmans]

Yeah and most will float for a couple hours before sinking.

[@Lavenderrose73]

Yes, it never hurts to plant them just in case.

[@Nuswodahs]

Like the video showed as well, when you first put them in water some may have an air bubble attach to the outside.

[@DrewVerdin]

@@Nuswodahs plant all your seeds. The only guarantee is if you don't plant them they won't grow

I am from Bulgaria, I watched your video and I think it is very useful. It helps me a lot because I'm a beginner gardener at 68. Thank you very much, I will follow exactly your recommendations!

Thanks so much!

[@SFM73]

You inspired me to start gardening agn. You were right on the fungi infection. I was sick wondering what went wrong when all of my sunflower seedlings died prematurely from rotten roots. After I gave up and left the soil unattended for days, fungus started to cover on the soil surface. Now it made sense why my seedlings didn't make it. Thank you!

[@NerakGreen]

If u see fungus gnats (baby mosquitoes), that’s a sign ur soil has too much fungus in it. The fungus is just there, but the gnat larvae eat ur roots up. Hang and lay yellow sticky paper around ur plant to catch them before they lay eggs. U can buy food grade diatomaceous earth to puff or salt shake on the topsoil. Wally world carries PF Harris brand. You can use slices of potato to try to draw any larvae to potato instead of plant. If u know what to look for, you’ll see em on potato. Just set potato discs flat on soil and throw away when they’re covered with muck and/or dried out to heck. If all else fails, u can use a thin layer of beach sand as a topsoil to crush and suffocate any gnat larvae. I just scootch the sand over to water and comb it back over when I’m done. Dead fungus gnat larvae looks like a squiggle of coppery reddish brown dirt. As soon as it’s removed, it looks like a shred of wood. Images make them seem like worm snakes, but gosh they’re smaller than a pin. Ooo those evil plant murderers!

This is the perfect instructional video I've seen so far. Just the right amount of information, explained in a simple manner, no confusions! I have a bunch of different seeds that are in the process of germination & a few I need to start. Thank you for making this so very easy! Appreciate all your videos! 😀

[@greenbird777]

I don't often subscribe to gardening channels, but I'm really impressed with how you manage to be both clear and detailed, and you explain WHY, which is something most people forget to do (why one method works and another doesn't, etc.). Glad I found you.

[@fangchick93]

I always water my potted plants from the bottom. It makes sense, the roots are at the bottom and the plant/soil knows how much water it needs. I set a timer for half an hour and if it’s dry I’ll add extra water, if there’s still water left I’ll dump the excess. My plants seem to like this method.

[@donkalzone6671]

I started a few tomato seeds this year. Two pots. The seeds in the pot where I kept bottom always wet took nearly a week longer to sprout. The faster one had always at least a day without water in the bottom tray. I think this dry-day provided a kind of healthy imbalance in the soil for the growing phases of the roots.

[@Nuswodahs]

I’m currently growing plumeria. If I were to use this method their roots would rot and they would all die. Although plants need water, too much can be just as bad as too little.

[@wispa1a643]

If you feed often it makes sense to top feed to flush "access" salt.

[@NerakGreen]

I’m learning how to bottom water. I usually just mist the topsoil, but it isn’t enough water for the seeds. I made a self-watering pot with a wick of knitting cotton and it did well. I just hate having standing water in my grow space. I was under the impression that the wick must stay wet to absorb moisture, but I supposed thats not true depending on the type of cord u use. I wonder if it would be more of a risk or aid to use a wick within the soil when bottom watering.

[@lova368]

@@NerakGreen can u tell more about that?

Hi there! I have been trying to grow green onions and so far… It's- going pretty well! I have been recording how much it grew every day! And from yesterday both of them have grown 1.5cm more from their previous height :) I found out that they grow much better, greener and faster in soil, so I was thinking of buying some recently and I came across your video! Thank you SO MUCH! I will make sure the soil is moist enough for my vegetables to grow, like- you're seriously underrated! And the fact that you're literally hearting almost everyone's comments just shows how much of an amazing and awesome person you are!

[@soulone1000]

Excellent synopsis and pace of its delivery !! Thank you!! I look forward to seeing more of your videos Bruuaah!! Mike SF

[@Mustafa-Kamal-Satar]

2:47. I am from Malaysia. Interesting! I used only red bell pepper fruits to extract seeds for sowing. I avoid the green ones. I do this out of my gut feelings - I figure out that green is unripe and red is fully ripe, and so far almost 100% of my bell pepper seeds from red fruits germinate. I never try seeds from green fruits, I got the hunch that these green seeds won't germinate. And you just verify that my gut feelings are right! Haha!

[@anneward2066]

Thank you for this video. A lot of people don’t know these things. This is the first video I’ve seen on this. Thanks again.

[@betsybarnicle8016]

The "hardening" of sprouting seeds explains to me why maybe some of my seedlings have been too leggy (too tall and weak). With gradual sun exposure it sounds like the roots get more time to provide a solid base for the stem and leaves.

[@maecoe372]

One of the best videos, or probably the best in terms of information & clarity! Love it!

[@KittyKarenpoo]

Good stuff about what to watch for. I would correct item one. If a seed does not sink, it MIGHT not be viable, but for many seeds it is normal to not sink, sometimes for as much as a day. So, before you toss those seeds out, walk by a half day later and tap on them to see if they sink. If they don't obey you by end of day one, then you can toss them out. If you are desperate, run a razor over the seams to take off an almost unnoticeable layer of seed at that spot, and give them another half day. Also, when it comes to heat, it isn't the heat of the air that matters. It is the heat of the soil. That is a HUGE difference. For this reason I suggest NEVER plant in ceramic pots. Ceramic pots retain coolness and can delay the germination of seeds for up to a month worth of season.

[@explorerofunknownworlddept6232]

gary w very helpful. Thank you very much like this video. Thumbs up you 2 already 🍀🐕🐁🐖

[@NerakGreen]

Aww, one of my plants is named Star Gary. She’s my biggest gal. I just wanted to suggest low-grade sandpaper to scuff the seed coat rather than a razor that could damage the embryo. When it comes to planting seeds just so, I think people tend to make stuff up and validate it as fact to fit their habits. A seed drops where it lands and thrives without any training or nutes. I mean, of course we supplement indoors, but these plants have grown forever with a lot less than our black thumbs of death. If it can survive us and the birds, that’s all it needs. We don’t have to over complicate things just to feel special, while making others feel inferior with our PPMs and RO water with CalMag, u kno

[@tanyabooysen3958]

It have experienced exactly this and never realized the differences between the color of peppers,thanks so much🇿🇦

[@MamaLena123]

Great information! Answered a lot of my "I wonder why this is happening?" questions.

[@404LenaNotFound]

When I was 10 years old I got a handful of red beans from a friend. I stored the dried beans in a plastic bag and found them again 5 years later. So I planted 5 of them and one of them grew.

[@broccoligirl9019]

That's nice

[@wispa1a643]

Seeds can be stored for centuries if kept cold and low humidity. Make a seed booster to give them energy they may lack.

[@miragonzales6060]

Lele tries....thats really a experienced worth remembering.

[@Nitecrow314]

I once swapped a cow for a bag of beans and planted them...

[@NerakGreen]

That’s really cool! They say seeds have a shelf life of 2-5 years, but we forget they don’t oxidize like plants and perishables do. The seed is a portable uterus for the plant embryo, like a treasure box. It’s just waiting for us to give it a little water, sunshine, and dirt to hold on to as its key to unlock. When conditions are ideal, seed becomes baby. So long as no bird eats it, seed will persevere. It really is cool to watch

[@adarshguptak]

Collect seeds of green bell peppers when ripe. Tip: select one about to ripe green bell pepper from market and leave it on your kitchen counter till it ripens fully and starts to shrivel. At this time, tear/cut open and collect seeds for sowing immediately or completely dry for storage.

hey doc... just wanna say that this video really opened up my eyes. My brother just start germinating seeds over the holidays and I say we've had a few close calls. I only wish I knew had to do the wet paper towel method before he died from "bad seed". I would do anything to see him one more time, so could you're next video be "7 ways seed germination can bring back relatives from the dead"? Thank again doc.

I'm so grateful I found your video. Just went through this dilemma. My eggplant seeds aren't sprouting. I think I found my mistake. Old sees, maybe. Expiry date isn't indicated in the seed packet. Also, non-sterile container. I just used up an old seedling tray, filled it with soil, without even bothering to clean it. I'm just a beginner, so I can forgive myself. Thanks for sharing this info. Great work!

Wow! Thank you for an excellent video! I have already discovered two reasons why my seeds didn't sprout. 1. With the green pepper seeds we saved from last year, they were still green and 2. When I planted Parsley, (after soaking the seeds) I had planted the floaters, not the ones that sank to the bottom of the container.

[@adamwalter2573]

Good guide pal, and I would still say the 8th mistake is lack of sunlight, 9th also lack of sunlight :) In short, the more the better !

[@antilogism]

Some seeds are phytochromic, using light as one of many signal to germinate. If they see too much far-red with respect to red, the deep red they see when under a tree with foliage, it turns them off. Direct sunlight, for some seeds, is a signal to germinate since the reds are more uniform. Combined with moist, warm soil it says "spring is here!".
