Direct Sow Or Paper Towel

Direct sowing into the final pot skips the transplant shock that fragile sativa seedlings seem to feel more than most, but it also means a slow seed sits in wet soil for a week where it can rot. Paper towel lets you see which seeds have cracked and plant only those. Both methods are compared with success rates on https://hazesativaseeds.com, and for landrace lines with patchy germination the towel came out ahead. For fresh feminised hybrids straight into soil works fine.
