AJA Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) I can see the top 3 seeds have taps, but unless my eyes are rubbish, which they are, i dont see the beginnings, even the slightest hint that the 2 at the bottom are gonna bother germing. Edited January 12 by AJA 1 Link to comment
murphyblue Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) The 3 that are cracked don't look like they been open long pot the 3 and give the other 2 more time. No 2 seeds are exactly the same some just need a bit longer than others. Good luck. Edited January 12 by murphyblue 1 Link to comment

mikeydoughnut Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 How are you germinating them? 2 Link to comment
BilgePump Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Yeah what's yer method? You can just pop seeds straight into prepared plugs/compost without soaking, they'll germ fine and its super simple. 5 Link to comment
Hazeytones Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 What happened to the seeds that cracked? You must be doing something funny to not get any above the soil. 1 Link to comment
catweazle1 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) Covering seeds in an air-proof soaked tissue doesn't help, especially fresh seeds that contain plenty of moisture anyway. Moisture. Air. Warmth. Edited February 1 by catweazle1 4 Link to comment

Funny thing, on my firsrt grow, i simply threw the seeds straight in 7 litre pots of Coco, and eveything grew. Link to comment

Never thought of plugs Link to comment
