Reggie's usually have a lot of seeds that are no good. Usually ones you can break very easily with little pressure. Make sure the seeds are good. When I germinate my seeds I just use a plastic jar put them in toilet paper, and close it. They usually do it 2-3 days after that. If they dont work just find some new seeds. They're only reggie right? Also isn't august A LOT late unless you're doing indoor?
