Seed Question

[Infinitee]

Hey i was just wondering if anyone here can quickly tell me, if when seeds have germinated, if you can tell a difference in quality from the length of the root.

 

I'm germ'ing a bunch of seeds for me and a mate (my seeds) and i thought someone had told me before, that picking the seed with the longest root, means it's a healthy chance and will flourish more throughout it's life/get through the seedling stage easier. If this is so, could someone please let me know.

 

Thanks

as soon as the seed cracks and the root appears it should be placed into the medium in which u want it to sprout...well thats what i would suggest you do but IMO i think its better to sow seeds in soil or what ever medium your doing without having them show roots before putting them in

Oh sorry, was i that unclear.

 

Nah i know what to do once it's sprouted, just wondering during germination (which i prefer) if the seeds that grow longer roots before transplanting will have a better chance of survival or rate of growth.

 

If that makes sense, then...thanx!!

if the seeds that grow longer roots before transplanting will have a better chance of survival or rate of growth.

Not really, it usually means that they just started a little earlier than the others or were in a slightly better position, I usually start my seeds in soil or rock wool cubes so as to avoid having to handle them in such a delicate state.

Alrighty, thanx a bunch for that.

 

Yeah, i just also thought, how when you scuff seeds they absorb quicker, so some seeds just might be a bit easier to absorb water.

 

Well thanx anyway!!
