never had this happen before with seeds

Okay so i have soaked my seeds for 24-48 hours then put them in to paper towel like normal on top of a seedling heat mat. Looked at them this morning and where the tap root shold be it looks some thing like mash potatoe. im guessing there was something wrong with the seeds, going to check on them tomorrow and hope the tap root has shown if not i will toss them and start over any one else had this happen before?

Pics?

I've never not had a seed germinate just by putting it into it's first or even final container. Why so much steps for a simple seed?

that's the way i have allways germanated my seeds with 100% success it just these seeds that are ding this havn't got time to upload pics at the momant will try tomorrow.

Probably melted the taproot with the heatpad. :0

JK, plants don't melt, they burn. ;0

this is what i'm talking about

Not sure what that is, but that's why I never germ that way, much prefer to pop them into warm moist soil and let nature take it's course.

The seed has some type of skin over it. When it is exposed to moisture long enough the skin will peel off.
Atleast that's what it looks like to me.

If you've bought the seeds from an honest place then you honestly dont need any of those funky germination techniques, i remember learning that in elementary school lol.

alright SPL will leave it another day but it has never failed before this way Amy pond

I always try to start in soil first. If it doesn't pop in 7 days I'll try to soak the batch in a cup of warm water but not hot & let the warm water change to room temp as the seeds soak. tap them lightly every 12 hours to see if they sink to the bottom & when they do, throw them in soil and try to keep the soil within 75-90f. If they do not sprout then you have a batch of bad seeds. Minus well try until you get one.

I'm not doubting you dude, just saying how I prefer to do it. It's just always worked best for me that way. hope you can salvage it though, good luck.

I think you're right because i rubbed where the white stiff was with a Qtip and the tap root popped out thanks

That's the best way!! Keep it simple. I basically treat Mary Jane the same way I treat a tomato. Well maybe I give a little more love to my weed haha

bad news gut never got them seeds to pop the one that the tap root came out of hasn't srouted I checked inside both seeds and it was just like white and brown mush in them maybe thay was duds going to try another two.

Brown mush doesn't sound good at all. How long has it been since you planted them?

If you can get 95 out of 100 seeds to pop then your doing great.....not every single seed you come in contact with will sprout......Weird shit happens, like I've seen an alien spaceship in the 1990's but thats a wole different topic...lol....Give it a couple days and if they don't sprout just start over

What a shame that's happened, I was actually hoping your seeds would take root, try germinating them straight into the moist soil next time and see how you get on with that, It works flawlessly every time for me, hope it works for you too, good luck.

Thank you Amy
