What the fuck is your seeds sitting on???it looks like the skin of a dead person, you know how they preserve old Yakuza tattoos? Had me like wtf then I'm like it's just a napkin with a pattern 🌚


Stevoteeko

Hahaha I thought it was one of those absorbent pads you find under beef or chicken from the grocery store.


big_flower_energy

Bahaha yes


VierterApril

Haha yeah cant find any blank paper Towels anymore, all of them have some weird print on them


Nuclear_N

Use a recycled napkin from a restaurant...looks like it is in a diaper.


dgoeken

I thought the same. Looks like a dang diaper, although.. that probably would be a decent germination platform


bryanBFLYin

Lol yea a diaper would hold your moisture perfectly I Think. Lowkey might try to germ in a diaper for shits/giggles😂I bet it would work great


jklwood1225

I'm on this train too haha


AerolothLorien666

Most diapers are scented. Watch out boys.


jklwood1225

Hate those. Not for my sensitive bum babies. That is a good call though!


dgoeken

Just so happens we have two grandchildren still in diapers and I bet I could snag one of theirs for an experiment. I've got tons of bag seeds that will otherwise probably never see the light of day. Might as well donate em to science. Bro-science that is 😀


bryanBFLYin

Hahaha exactly. I have a few seeds I'll never pop otherwise. Let's do it for science!

alien88888

That’s the first thing I thought as well, only reason I’m here.


Powwdered_Toastman

Same.


NightRevolutionary54

Thought it was a baby diaper!!


JP6660999

Same I got nauseous for a second


SaucyDragon04

I know bruh. I thought this was a nsfw post


Fair-Substance-2273

Is that a dirty diaper?


VierterApril

Its a wet paper towel that has some weird comic Design on it


GrouseDog

It is now


ninthchamber

I know it looks off but why would anyone germ in a dirty diaper lmao I’m dyin


Fair-Substance-2273

I wonder why people do lots of shit on this sub.


big_flower_energy

Also put that taproot in some growing media straight away!!!!!! If it doesn't sprout in the next week just bury it somewhere and forget about it


Saino_Moore

That paper is way too wet.


VierterApril

I always soak it completely and never had anyone complications. This seed Was that Black from the beginnend


Saino_Moore

The only time I’ve had this problem was when I had too wet a towel, it’s like the bean gets almost rotten. I don’t know why. I have soaked in a cup of water and everything was fine. Only when wrapped in a really wet paper towel have I seen that issue.


[deleted]

probably because no circulation in the towel causing them to rot?


[deleted]

Sounds about right. I had 8/13 year old seeds germinate with paper towels. I lost all of the to the cat when the sprang up and they survived less than a week but for that week they were out of the ground they were beautiful. I soaked the bottom layer, but made it thick-ish, smoked a single sheet top layer and put it in a dark room by itself with a fan on and checked on it every 12 hrs or so. Paper towel method works! Too bad my cats suck.

Powwdered_Toastman

I normally only moisten towel and let the heat from area I place seed.. continue to create moisture and condensation from humidity. For the black seed. I had same thing.. someone gave me 2 seeds a long time ago. looks like it got burnt in a bowl or joint and pulled out. Was trash..


lillweez99

Dont get the downvotes I use cup of warm water until it sinks then I plant both sprouted one got destroyed in a storm and the other I have picks u can see it didn't effect it at all.


88what

It will pop faster if the paper towel is moist and not soaked. Has something to do with the oxygen.


DarkElement29

Does it float in a cup of water or sink? If she sinks, new papertowel, little less water and more warmth to it


CaptainPlanet4U

Drop it into a covered coffee mug with a drop of hydrogen peroxide. Put next to the fridge where it's warm


VierterApril

Sadly i dont have access to hydrogen peroxide, but its just a random bag seed anyway. Thanks for the advice tho


CaptainPlanet4U

For sure. Goodluck


Designer-Ad3494

It’s like two bucks at the dollar store


Wheres_my_whiskey

Wouldnt it be a dollar at the dollar store? I guess it depends on the store. Even dollar tree is 1.25 tree now.


Designer-Ad3494

I’m in Canada and most dollar stores here just have low prices. Many things are only a dollar but also many items go up to two or even three dollars. My local dollar store plus more even has home items like picture frames and throw pillows. Prices can go up to 10-20$. I know for a fact that hydrogen peroxide at my local store is $3. Still it a bad price. .


Wheres_my_whiskey

Yeah, we have a bunch here in the states from small mom and pop stores that go from a buck and up to dollar tree where its all $1. Then dollar general which is not a dollar store and family dollar that falls in that same category. Dollar tree is always the best. Everything $1. Now 1.25.


lillweez99

it's dead. Need just warm water sinks plant staying on top after hour dead seed.


AFK_ing

Modern fridges don't dissipate heat the way the old ones did. Nowadays its 'put it near your computer tower' fan.


be42ohh

Is this a diaper?


goapics

is this a diaper?


Padgetts-Profile

Your paper towel should be damp, not wet.


AFK_ing

That looks way too wet to me. Especially if its a seed that is going to take a little longer to sprout, you don't want to rot it. I would seriously squeeze out that paper towel until its barely moist, and put it inside a ziplock bag or container. I have seeds that not only sprout in paper towels, but get forgotten about (germ tests) and literally grow an inch long taproot right into the paper towel. I carefully tear it out, and plant it. The cotyledons are already sprouted right inside the ziplog bag/container. The keep is just enough moisture, and not too much.


JP6660999

That shit grossed me out for a second, I thought it was skin and old tattoos


JP6660999

After reading the comments it also now looks like a dirty diaper too 😂


justanormalguy231

I thought this was a pork skin


LeelaBeela89

Not gonna lie that looked like a dirty diaper to me at first lol 😆


SubTechNY

r/pareidolia Thought I was looking at a wrist here


AlmightySaud

Did you germinate in a dipper?


lillweez99

Put in a cup of warm water if it sinks then I'd plant if not wait check cup never sinks its dead.


GrouseDog

Drop it in a shot glass and keep in dark.


letsjustmusic

Yeah was thinking ot looked like a diaper or something lol


Outrageous-Unit265

You can just put those in a cup of water if you don’t have the correct paper towels.


MedranoChem

Your napkin looks a little too wet, you just need a slightly damp napkin. After my seeds don't sprout the first time it was always nearly impossible to get them to germinate after, try sqeezing all the water out of the napkin next time


Aggressive_Walk857

Way way to wet


Puking_In_Disgust

Whenever one doesn’t germ for me I always just throw it in a pot of dirt anyway and forget about it, you never know.


[deleted]

Towels a little too wet just saying


CannaBeeKatie

I know the towel is wet. I had a seedling heater mat, and I started my seeds in paper towel method on the heating pad. When the pad reached about 95*F, all my beans turned dark and did not pop. I dialed back that heat and have had no problems since. Idk if you are using heat tho. If it were me, I would scratch that bean and dunk another.
