not sure why some people have so much problems trying to germinate seeds...

its easy, I put my beans in a glass of water in the cupboard, if they don't crack within 72 hours I give up on them, likely non-viable, or not viable enough for me..., good seeds will crack between 12-36 hours, every time...

once they crack, if I am busy I might leave them in the glass of water up to 24 hours but I generally try to plant them in promix right away and 2 days later I have seedlings.

Yup. I put mine inna good wet folded paper towel. And into the clone down till the morning. Check once each 24 hrs and ur good in 2 days. Any that dont pop i usually drop im water but thats relatively rare. The into the peat pods. And like u said 2 days.

Thats my normal experience. My last seed pop session wen alittle wild. New peat pods and a bad water timing and i lost a few. :/ cant win them all, especially wen ur smoking with ppl lol

Silver Mountain - four females - three different phenotype (appearance). When touched, a tall sativa that has a sexy, sweet, and euphoric scent , two short stinky ones (could this be what app like), and one that has the look of a cross (SM) but stinks as well.
Any support comments are welcome.

I tried growing the Sunshine Daydream by bodhi seeds from @Midweek Song and none of the seeds popped besides one. It looked very skimpy and died shortly after 3-4 days.

Has anyone else ever had a problem with this? My temps/humidity were perfect throughout. I'm now left with some northern lights that i had left over. But i'm very upset that I never had a chance to grow them out, and savour at-least 1 mother for personal use.

I'm not sure how a refund policy would work - For a new batch. I've never had this problem before. Either the seeds are extremely delicate and need the most perfect conditions throughout - Or they were just old, and were not usable. Still very annoyed either way :cuss:

i popped a 12 pack of SSDD that i got from GLG all 12 popped. 1 suffered the same end as yours and mines died cuz i had the cobs too close(first time led) out of the 11 i kept 4 females.
4 males and 3 that still hadnt shown sex at week 7 got the ax.
first day of 12/12 today

its hard to tell from your photo but from my experience you are looking for the plant with the most zest, frost and quickest finishing. It won't have the biggest buds but it will have more bud sites.

I have a strain or two that always take between 4-6 days to pop, but once they do, they take off like crazy. So not all slow popping seeds are bad, but in general, good beans will pop in 12-48 hours. But you may be missing out culling some of the ones that are slower to crack. I say 5-7 days is a safe amount of time to wait for the beans to pop and shoot a good taproot before planting. Even if they pop at 24 hours, a few days of growth in a paper towel or rapid rooters isn't the biggest deal, lol.

Everything I started from mws germed and grew properly even auto freebies, going to start a couple cluster bombs from archive made from mws a while back let you know how that goes maybe try emailing buddy that runs midweek he usually emails back pretty quickly

Noticed that most times the faster ones to grow tails and sprout are males or at least when I paid attention to that stuff

I don't know anything about that, but I do have at least 2 strains I can't think of that take at least 4 days to pop, and if you pop 10+, there's a good chance that the laggers will be popping right around day 7. I've never paid any attention to the male:female ratios that came out of particular beans. That's a little too intensive on the observing/documentation for me, lol.

Tbh an entire pack of bodhis not germing at all except one sounds like grower error IMO. I had an entire pack of hso dud out on me, but they still all popped and grew retarded, but germinated and grew despite being a crap batch. Hso replaced them because I documented the entire thing and sent pics.

I'm assuming the guy that had an entire pack not pop doesn't have pics or documentation, but if he does and it was in fact bad beans(99% chance this isn't the case with Bodhi seeds), he'll probably replace them.

But again, if an entire pack doesn't pop(especially if it's from Bodhi), 95+% chance it's the growers/environment at fault, not the seeds.

I was looking for something in particular went through quite a bit of seeds to find it noticed a bunch of oddities, maybe a little OCD but I never wrote anything down just memory

Can't be all the breeders fault.

I've had bad batches of beans in my years, but never had an entire pack of beans not pop, and to this day I'm still 100% germ rate with bodhis. The current ssdd X Gogi im running had 3 completely dud out at around 2.5 feet tall and the lower halves of the plants died, and I have no idea why. I'm going to grow out the other half of the pack and see if it was my fault or the beans. If the entire pack is as wonky as the first few, at that point, I'll shoot Bodhi a message and let him know. I wouldn't ask for replacements though. I've grow too much fire from him and am consistently running his testers. So definitely no complaints here.


Oh wait... I jut remembered bcbd is a company I've run that literally every bean I tried to germ didn't even crack or damped out just after cracking. That is a shitty breeder and while I never asked for replacements, they definitely won't be getting any more money from me or anyone I can advise to avoid them, lol.

probably just dried out that's all. there pretty frail until they get solid roots and a little growth. even someone who knows what there doing gets stoned, forgets, goes away for the weekend or whatever and doesn't keep the plug or which ever grow medium you put a new seedling in wet. a neighbor burned a entire batch of white widows just by forgetting to mist them every couple hours. even lights from home depot dry soil out pretty quickly

I've had a few strains that wouldn't pop over the years.
Some I scuffed scratched you name it and they still wouldn't pop.
I assumed they were old or thick shelled and perhaps needed a lot more tlc and code breaking to open than I was prepared to invest.
But I just think the same poster had issues with a few breeders now and some problems in life require one to look inward not out.

Yeah I don't mess with the whole scuffing/scratching bs. IMO if your beans won't pop on their own, they aren't good beans. Plus, there are too many breeders out there to be hassling myself like that with beans that are literally/naturally useless. It's a plant and it should be able to grow without grower involvement. You don't see bears or birds rubbing seeds up against trees to help seeds pop. The ones that don't pop, don't make it and are eliminated from the gene pool. Natural selection at its best, haha.

While overall I agree with your theory there is something to be said about man creating certain crosses that nature also wouldn't cross or create and once mans hand has been involved things change.
Certain beans over the years have had notoriously bad germ rates and if not for people scuffing and forcing the issue strains would have died off.
I'm not 100% sure but I think ogkb was like this years ago and I'm sure there's been many others.
But those were known issues that the majority have found not 1/1000 people.

I'm not sure there is a good way to say this and I don't know how long he's been growing for. He hit me up in a PM a few months back to ask for help teaching him how to top a plant. I was happy to do so, that's what this place is for. He would send me pics with questions, it went along for a quite a while, anyway I think he knows how to top now. He hit me up quite a bit but never showed a lack of appreciation. He obviously needs some more help with his germination practice but it's not going to me.

And then to come on here and bitch about the beans....

I've got two+ packs of SSDD in the vault and I'm in no big hurry to pop them, I know they will pop.

I recall he caused some animosity in the in house genetic and ggg threads over the same issue and I think he got the benefit of the doubt from most people.
I don't know him nor am I slamming the guy but this thread is full of hundreds of people successfully popping ssdd soooo idk.
