I’ve been facing a peculiar problem germinating seeds lately.
Very low rate of success. The same strains from the same vendor would easily sprout earlier (2-3 months ago). Almost 100% success. I use the tissue paper method. Pre-soak seeds for 12 hrs in water and even sprinkle mycorrhiza. Have even tried adding seaweed extract to the water.
Only thing that has changed since earlier is the weather conditions - from warm
(avg 30 deg C) and humid (80%+) to warm (avg 25degC) and dry (<40%).
Can the change in weather conditions affect germination rates so drastically? Anyone else faced this? I’ve lost entire batches of seeds to this :-(
