anyone havin problems with nirvana feminized PPP

i was curious to see if anyone has gotten any fem PPP from nirvana lately. i got 20, and 10-15 of them were so tiny i couldn't believe it. i use a tried and trusted germination method, and still only got 5 to sprout. i gave 10 to a friend, and i'm germing the other 5, but have seen no difference in them after 7-10 days of germination. i figured they were low on stock and sent me the bottom of the barrel seeds. just wanted to see if anyone else has the same problem, or any advice on what i should do i.e. different germ method, call the company and try to get them replaced or what Any input would be greatly appreciated.

OVERGROW BIG BRO!!!

I bought 5 feminised a year or so ago and only 2 sprouted, 1 was OK, the other was a runt.
After a couple of months I thought I'd email them and let them know,
and to my surprise they sent me another 5 seeds.
Same thing happened, 1 was OK, 1 a runt and 3 didn't germ.
The runt stayed a runt, I mean it sprouted but didn't straighten up or grow any real leaves, just the cotyledons, but I kept spraying it with nytrozyme and superthrive, and after 5 weeks of that it started to grow normaly, strange eh.
Anyway, it sounds like it's a problem with the feminised seeds and as much as I like the PPP to smoke, I wouldn't buy fem PPP seeds again.

nirvana seed's are un reliable due to poor genitcs. Thats why there cheep.

they seemed to all sprout 4 me maybe you should make sure all conditions are close to perfect not saying that you cant germinate I am just sayin I order some PPP the other year and I got 10 healthy budding ppp plants.

Did you use feminised seeds.
I usually get 100% germ rate with the method I use, but had trouble with the PPP feminised, twice.

Got any research to back up this general statement?

Yeah I got feminazed seeds. Mine were really small too. they grew in size after the moisture was added. It had trouble sproutin but after some time and extra care they all grew up to produce huge buds.

How long did does it take to recieve the seeds? I am in California. Any advice on how to get the seeds to germinate.

from what i read and understand from people much more knowledgeable than me :
feminised are shit, dont buy them. buy real un fucked seeds and clone the fems

I did 5 Fem PPP 2 1/2 weeks ago. 4 popped within 16 hours and the fifth took a day an a half. The one that took longer to pop started out shorter but caught up real fast and now is the most developed (but still shorter). I soaked all in warm sterile water for 4 hours and then put in between sterile paper towels, on a sterile plate placed on warm place (80-82 degrees) and covered with a sterilized glass bowl. I have never had any problems with Nirvana seeds. This batch took 5 days for shipping but I have had it take as long as 15 days. I only do Feminized seeds (from several sources) and have never had any problems with germination or growth or anything for that matter.
The picture is the first batch out of 3 batches of PPP at day 14 and just started very mild feeding (4/12/0. Lights are now dialed down from 24hours to 20/4. I usually space the germinating batches out every 5 days until I get the required amount.

Have you grown out fem. seeds, if not then don't comment about what other people have said to you.
I have grown so many damn Fem/selfed, etc.. and only one out of say 200 turned herm.

Wow all those bad results. Man my PPP was awesome! I bought 10 seeds. They were very fat seeds not like the jock horror that I had bought the grow before. All 10 germed after 3 days in paper towels and all 10 sprouted. I grew in a rubbermaid container using the dwc method and yielded over a qp with a 400 watt hps. The high and taste of the smoke was great!

o just to add I bought mine last october. I just bought some snow white a few weeks ago and the seeds were also pretty big. I had 100% germ rate bud i messed up and let my soil dry out one day and half of them died. IT was my fault though

got 5 fem. three sprouted and they are growing nice almost 12" at 3 weeks in soil

Ppl seeds will grow and thrive as long as there is a stoner and his mind!

Got 10 feminized Early Skunk beans from Sensi, they are taking forever to germinate, right now six out of ten have sprouted after 9 days, they seemed to be confused at first, spiraling around in the medium before emerging, very odd, I've never seen regular seeds germinate like this, I hope the other four pop up in the next 48 hours or I'm gonna be pissed! Will update.

The other 2?!

i just got my seed (just 1) from nirvana (PPP) took a week .
starting germinating

I am not happy at all with my feminized seeds, they seem naturally weak, never seen anything like this before, fungus on seedlings?!... Never happened, my germinating techniques are almost flawless, very surprised, will write to Sensi about this, 70€ for these beans!? I could have had the same outcome for normal healthy beans, look at the image of that one swiggly thing, it's the fourth one that did that, weird, these seeds cannot germinate themselves, fuckin weaklings not seedlings, gonna stick to nature made beans and sexing from now on, will document further...
