    If people are having trouble with seeds germinating you can use gibberellic acid (GA-3) to force the germination of troublesome seeds. It can be difficult to use, needing only an amazingly dilute amount and it will always stretch your seedlings initially but if your in real need, us it. http://www.super-grow.biz/Products.jsp sells it dirt cheap, use only a few grains per liter of water and using something like liquid-karma or Nitrozime with it will also help. Gibberellic acid has been used to germinate seeds over 1000 years old from extinct species! It is THE Hormone that signals seed germination.
    There have also been issues with X-RAY exposure to seeds causing them to fail before germination, I talked with a plant physiology professor about this and it was confirmed that yes, x-rays can damage the embryonic cells of a seed, it may not be an issue of poor seed quality.

    Ok, Update. Out of the 6 seeds (2nd batch) I have 1 sprout on the 4th day. So... WooHoo! 1 out of 10. If you like this impressive record then make sure you order your seeds from Amsterdam marijuana seeds. I will update the overall progress over the next couple of days.

    Ok, Final Score.

    Amsterdam marijuana seeds:
    Germination: 1 out of 10
    Customer Service: 0 out of 10


    Gypsy Nirvana:
    Germination: 4 out of 4 (EXACT SAME CONDITIONS)
    Customer Service: ? out of 10 (never needed customer service)


    The Gypsy Nirvana Red Hair Skunk seeds germinated 4 out of 4 by the 3rd day in exactly the same conditions. This is my experience. Figure for youself who you may want to order from or not to order from.

    Peace

    FWIW: 27 out of 30 sprouted just fine. Who knows? It's a long way from Amsterdam, most anything could have happened to yours. That IS a bummer.
    Surprised that they have been unresponsive tho. Are you certain that your email isn't sending their replies into your spam folder???

    Well, the 1 that sprouted is comming along nicely. The four that sprouted from Gypsy Nirvana look great. So still pretty unhappy with Amsterdam marijuana seeds, but at least I will have some good plants thanks to Gypsy Nirvana.
