New Batch of CannaVenture Flaming Cookies Seeds Not Germinating?

First off, I would like to say that I do not blame CannaVenture or Attitude for the bad germination rate. I'm not sure which end the problem is arising from, so I'm not going to point fingers. It could very well be bad luck on my end. Anyone who has purchased the seeds recently please let me know how they're germinating for you.

I recently purchased a pack of Big Buddah Cheese Fem and a pack of CannaVenture Flaming Cookies Fem. My order came with a few freebies, which included CannaVenture Raspberry Kush Fem and Humboldt Seed Organization Purple Trainwreck Fem.

My method of germinating:
  • Presoaked the seeds for 12 hours in 120ppm~ 5.5 pH~ RO water with Advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow A/B. Seeds were left in a dark cabinet at room temperature.
  • Presoaked rockwool cubes for 12 hours (same strength water at 5.5 pH~). Drained the cubes. Resoaked rockwool cubes again for another 12 hours in new batch of RO water (same strength same pH). Drained the cubes.
  • After the seeds presoaked for 12 hours, regardless of whether the taproot emerged, I planted them straight into the rockwool cubes. About the seeds length in depth (3/8 inch~). If the taproot was showing - I dropped the seed in taproot up. Typically, the holes in the Gordan rockwool AO cubes are a bit too wide and deep for cannabis seeds. I tore little off a bit of rockwool from the corners of each cube and adjusted the hole to where the seed would sit snug and not too deep. I then gently covered each hole with a little piece of rockwool.
  • Once the seeds were planted, I placed the rockwool cubes into a rockwool tray and covered the tray with a humidity dome. I poured the same strength/pH RO water into the tray until the bottom of the rockwool barely touched the water (1/2 centimeter~). The tray was moved to a dark room and placed over a heating mat. Once the seeds sprouted I put them under light.

Now here are my results with the seeds I just germinated:
  • Big Buddah Cheese - 2/2
  • CannaVenture Flaming Cookies - 0/3
  • CannaVenture Raspberry Kush - 2/2
  • Humboldt Seed Organization Purple Trainwreck - 1/1
So I have a 100% success rate (5/5) with seeds not named Flaming Cookies... and 0% success rate (0/3) with those that are... tis a Sad Sad day. I really wanted to have a "Cookies" strain in my garden and I spent $110 USD on those beans :/ I still have four more left though... Hopefully one of them will come through. Just thought I'd share my experience. If anyone has had any experience with these seeds (recent batch) please let me know. Thanks!

Well it could be many problems but for one the ph may be too low for those seeds to germ not sure but could be. Also if they never cracked then they could be very well hard seeds and need to be scuffed. Tap root up is not good too they need to go down but try soaking them till tap root shows put them down in cube. I always go straight to soil when germing seeds after soaking but try again bro hopefully they germ for you. Havent seen many people after them seeds since they been out. Cannaventure is new to fems so could be breeder mistake. Will see if I see any other people having trouble with them

I have seen it quite often in OG crosses, GSC crosses the shell is so thick that as soon as u drop em in water, they sink do to the added weight but end up never germinating.

I am running testers now that the breeder, after sending em to me, said he was scrapping the project as none of the other testers could get the beans to germ. I said fuck it, ima try anyways and dropped em in water and they all sunk imediately. After 4 days none of em cracked. I pulled em out of water, ran the raxor around the seam and put em back in water. Within 12 hours they all sprung tails.... Sunset Sherbert x Plat GSC (rev)

Lol, yeah mate, I couldn't tell you how many strains I've run over the last 20 years, been quite a few ha ha.
I put a few pics of my cookies adventure in a thread called cannaventure girl scout cookies mix I think. I'm sure it would come up in a search ;)
