How long do I need to soak these seeds?

I cover 1/4 cup of seeds with water and soak them overnight, then rinse them 2 times per day. Most sprouts are ready in 4-6 days.

I soak them overnight or for a few hours and then rinse them and then rinse them twice a day morning and night . easy

I soak around 8-10 hours. Easiest way is to soak overnight. I have had great success with this amount of time!

Which seeds are these? Larger seeds like Mung Beans like 12 hrs. Radish and a thousand others take less. Try reading the directions...add the shorter timed seeds after the larger ones are started and get a great mix...experiment til you've got it perfect for you.. Yes and rinse alot or whenever it occurs to you.

I soak for 8 to 24 hours but 8 is better, then I rinse them several times and then I put them in a quart jar with a piece of fine plastic screen fastened on with a rubber band. I rinse them 2 X a day or whenever I use the sink and in 4 to 5 days I have some really nice sprouts for salads or topping whatever stew or soup I am eating.

i have soaked these for 8 - 16 hours. I don't think the soaking time is critical. I start soaking one day and "plate" them the next morning.

I'm not sure. I have mine affixed to a piece of driftwood and I soak them for about 40 minutes once a week as per instructions. I think you should do a little more research .. or maybe someone else has put theirs in a terrarium.

Hi Kathryn: I just rinse the seeds off before the initial soaking. I believe they are organic, so they should be fine. But contact The Sprout House if you are worried. Best, Sarah

Sorry I don't soak them so I can't help. I toast them a few minutes in the oven and then use them in salads.

Soak them in water for 20 to 30 minutes and then drain off the excess water and put them in the wood chip box on the smoker. don't forget to fill the water pan full and check during smoking but not often, remember each time you open the door it will increase cooking time about 15 minutes each time you open it.

You would use 1 tsp. to 1 tbls. of seeds per tray, depending on the size of the seeds. I rinse the appropriate amount of seeds, soak for 12 hrs or overnight, rinse again, then spread evenly in each tray.

I actually use the hose outside and let them dry thoroughly and they are good to go for another few months. I don't soak them. Just blow them out good in a few seconds. Works great.

These are great to start seeds, or to root clones taken from another plant. As with any plant, it will require water and air to the roots. So these should be moist, and you can soak them until bubbles stop rising from them. Two minutes covered in water should have them ready to use. They can sit in a tray with a little water in it. You can decide if you will need a clear dome to keep moisture in. These will also make you an incredible lover!

Soak for 24 hours in room temperature water, than plant in a light soil. Keep moist but not wet until it sprouts (too wet and the seed will rot)

I rinse them off as I do with rice, but do not disinfect them because they are organic. I too have had a high germination rate. I use one of those round 4-tier sprouters with about 1 Tbs of seeds per tray and start a new tray every 3 days. Constant tasty sprouts!

No need to soak..If you have the correct mixture...Contact with leaves will be enough

Fill each container with water to cover the compact dirt pods. Allow to soak & expand about 15 minutes. Once expanded , pour out any excess water. Using scissors, or your finger, gently cut/tear off the netting surrounding the expanded pods. Place pod back in its slot. Remove about 1 teaspoon of soil and set aside. Empty all of one type of seed in pod and cover with the teaspoon of soil. Do this for each pod. I place mine in a sunny window & they sprout in about 24 - 36 hours. Keep them moist but not overly saturated.

They should keep 2-3 weeks if you leave them packaged and store in a cool place. Soak the roots in room temperature water 30 - 45 minutes before planting.

Sure, I basically just water them once a week. I let them soak in a big bowl of water for 1 hour and then take them out and allow them to dry on some paper towel or a washcloth for a couple hours (usually takes up to 4 hours to completely dry out). I've read on multiple sites that they should not be wet while in their shells. So far mine still look great! Oh and I keep them on a small desk in front of a west facing window. But I also have one in an east facing window, I'm sure they are fine as long as they are next to or close to any window.

3 to 4 days max but soak roots only by day 3 and my secret to success is I soak a peat pellet for each bare root and wrap the trimmed roots around the pellet and plant it all to the crown. never lost one. also works for runners. (soak flat toothpicks for a few days so they bend without breaking sit runners over buried wet pellets and staple down with wet toothpick.

No no need until they germinate. Just don't let them dry that's all. Keep spraying them once germinated.Basically keep them moist.

yes, no problem. What you need is some humidity, or every week, soak them in water.
