That's gotta be the stupidest thing I have read here since the guy who was saving up some clones and wanted to germinate them.

If a seed isnt opening its because water has not gotten inside it or its just a dud.

im hoping its not a dud, been waiting well over 48 hrs now the other one shot out rapidly. this is a really small seed aswell, looks like shes a tough one to crack

superthrive contains napthyl-acetic acid which has been shown to have a positive effect the embriotic root contained in the ungerminated seed, but hey you must know everything. asswhole.

Super-Thrive is basically Vitamin B1 and Thamine. Thamine is a rooting stimulant that can be used on seedlings as well as newly cut clones. I also use Super-Thrive on any plant with signs or stress from transplant and it works wonders on them. The best part is the smallest amount, one drop, is all this is needed per. gallon of water. Because it contains no active fertilizers Super-Thrive has no chance of causing nutrient burn or any other damage for that matter, so one need not worry about giving it to their plants. Furthurmore, I have seen first hand the vigor Super-Thrive induces in struggling plants and I can tell you it does in fact work.

in no way in hell could it help a seed germinate buddy.

now seeing as i dont even have any of the stuff, the subject can be dropped

Well, I wouldn't say I know everything but I can spot an idiot when I see one.
Usually I don't say anything but when they give bad advice I'll step up and straighten them out.

BTW spell check is free and its a good way to learn how to spell.

All my seeds always popped less than 24 hours. 2 paper towels fold them both up. Wet em. Place seed inbetween.Then put in plastic ziploc bag close almost all the way blow it up with air from the corner left open. Seal it. Place on something warm, I put mine on the cable box. Always pops less than a day. Everytime, from mexican brick to OG kush beans.

Try scraping the seem of the seed to help water enter easier and to help with cracking of the seed.

cruzer101 · Mar 19, 2011

He's had them wet for a few days, scrape now and I'm afraid you will squish it.
Its good advice but if you try it be careful.

I agree, set them on top something that is warm and hopefully you will see it sprout soon.

Seeds can take up to 10 days to germinate, and while I do use superthrive, seeds don't need r/o water, nutrients or any type of hormones to germinate. Use a very fine grit sandpaper to scrape the seed shell lightly and allow water to penetrate it. If it doesn't sprout in 10-12 days it's probably a dud. And also make sure it's dark wherever your germinating them.

thanks for the replys, the plates have been sat on top of my pc and are quite warm and have had to be adding more water constantly so.
if she aint out by tommorow then il try scraping it a bit otherwise will have to turn to another seed... which look around the same size

Do you have any plastic food wrap over the plate? If not the paper towels and seeds will dry out. The plastic wrap will act as a humidity dome and trap the moisture..

while i learn to spell you can learn the anatomy of a seed, if you had the slightest clue to how a seed works you would know that a seed may become dormant and a hormone can be used to stimulate metabolic activity in that seed thus making it grow. you shouldve spent more time in 9th grade biology and less time in your basement smoking. that is if you cant do your research idiot.
