Well I ordered from single seed centre and I ordered aculpoco gold,tangerine dream,purple haze #1, and none of those germed got two freebies afghan kush special and afghan kush Ryder and the akr is the only one that germed. Why did this happen only thing I've come up with is that it took awhile to get here to the states To me so I'm thinking being left in the cold on the way here don't know where you live but if you live in the states most overseas seed companies have to send the mail on boats now to the states so ordering in the winter is risky i ordered some super lemon haze and og kush so let's hope they germ and I'm not out more money.... Goodluck by the way i did save my seeds though just incase by a miracle I try them again later on and they crack

dude....if none of those germed u have to be doin sumthin wrong....it is recommended from several places that you store seeds long term in a freezer...in a plants natural habitat seeds would fall from the plant, make it through winter, and germ themselves when temperature was right in the spring. how are you germing? how are you storing them while they germ? give all the deatails and maybe theres something someone can help with..

When you say tissue paper what exactly are you referring to? If your usin kleenex they may not get the oxygen they need. Use paper towels and don't press it flat after you soak it..put em loosely in a ziploc bag...don't leave a lot of excess air but don't smash it flat either..I wrap mine loosely in a black trash bag so light problems can just be factored out..I store mine in any area that is 78-85 drees.. I have never soaked seeds before. I would imagine putting them on top of your hps might have cooked them but I've put mine under my hps before. only look every 24 hours and don't remove the seeds until you actually see the taproot. Only look at them once every 24 hours until the majority show the taproot....that's all I know to tell you....hopefully it's helpful

dude...toilet paper is the worst...get em out of there and in a paper towel that's not gonna turn to mush.. I'll bet the TP was keepin em from getting oxygen....yeah exactly...rapid rooters..... that's what I put my germs in after they show taproot

I ordered 10 Tangerine Dreams. Only germed 3 and 1 didn't pop. Out of the 18 Barneys seeds I've germed, 15 cracked, which isn't too bad a ratio imo...

uuummm....coffee filters maybe?? i wait till the taproot is 1/8" to 1/4" long before i put em in the rapid rooters...do you have a dome and a nursery? what will you put em in after the rapid rooter?

If i could just get a taproot id put them right in the soil like i usually do i only use the rapid rooters for clones never used them for seeds! What about napkins?? Got some in the car! And put them in a ziplock bag?

dunno....maybe...basically my rule is thisck an coarse and doesnt fall apart....if it comes right down to it use a washrag....sterilize it of course and make sure you thoroughly rinse it make it good and wet and press it down..it wont stick together really so they'll get air as long as u don't press too flat...but be careful...I've only dont rag once and it you wait too long then the taproot might grow into the rag...use one that's as thick with fibers as possible

what i did was : put my Tang Dream in a shot glass with distilled water until it sank(bout 14 hours)! then i placed it in a Rapid Rooter, but i didnt put it directly in tha hole thats already there - i made my own lil hole to tha side of tha original! placed Rapid Rooter into Hot House and in about 2 1/2 days she sprouted and is currently doing great! she's still workin on her true leaves, but they are comin in!
