[Thematt829]

As the title states im starting isan indigo sugarapple and isan indigo x gefner cross. I got some great advice on how to speed up germination turned 30 days into 7 days. Looking for more of that advice. Thanks in advanced. See pics.

Looking good. Would you mind sharing your germination tips & tricks?

Best one i got was to snip the tip where the root comes out. Then bag them with wet paper towels.

Hey,

Pictured is how I germinate hundreds of Annona seeds for my breeding program, each dome has 6x12 =72 seedling capability.

Search humidity dome greenhouse or some permutation of those words on Amazon and these pictured will pop up. Soak seeds in hydrogen peroxide for 24 hrs. Fill the trays with miracle grow potting soil, then lay seeds on top, then cover with a thin layer of more soil, don’t compact the soil. Water soil with mist setting on hose to wet the soil, (mist setting because larger droplets will totally disturb the soil and you gotta start over rearranging the tiny trays). Cover with the lid and wait three weeks you should see some action. It is really that easy, best of luck.

I have similar tall humidity domes. I had concerns that my dry growing room was causing issues to my SA. I will def put the domes back on. Thank you very much for you time and advice.

This year I started seriously growing Sugar Apples and there relatives.
Some seeds I bought just plain germinated better than others using the same sprouting technique....
Wrapped in wet paper towels, put into a zip lock plastic bag and placed in a warm area of my house.
So far the best germinating seeds have come from our own cricket expert and forum member achetadomestica.
99% germination!
