Germination Guidelines

To ensure a healthy harvest, germinate your AK 48 seeds carefully. At Blimburn Seeds, we recommend using our simple germination technique:

• Moisten two paper towels and place them on a plate with seeds spaced about 2 cm apart.
• Cover the seeds with another paper towel and an opaque plate, storing it in a warm, dark location.
• Check the paper towels every 4–6 hours to maintain moisture and spray with room-temperature water as needed.
• Once tap roots appear, plant them in soil with the roots facing down, covering with about 2 cm of soil.
• Maintain a temperature of 69.8 ºF – 78.8 ºF (21 ºC – 26 ºC) and use purified water with a pH level between 5.5 and 6.5.
• Avoid light exposure for more than one minute before and during germination.
