Don't put them in dirt. Put them in peat pucks or rockwool first. Do the 12-24hr presoak. Dirt lowers your chances. This can be ok if you're working with a lot of seeds as it is natural selection and only the strong survive, but these beans are limited.i'm not sure. as the weather is getting warmer, i wonder if that affected anything? i normally soak my beans for 24 hours in a maxicrop solution and then right to soil. as a newb, the winter was my first season and i only had one damp off on me and one die a few days after sprouting because i forgot to water it. so i'm at a loss for why these nine didn't pop. i have been busy so i was only watering them a bit in the morning and the soil did get dried out a bit...could that have done it??
i'm going to try again with blood orange, sunshine daydream, cheese quake, space bomb, sugar punch, and caramel candy kush, as well as chocolate rain...but the others that i tried too (blue dream, casey jones x green manalishi) aren't getting another chance this time.
just had big harvest (six done at the same time and wasn't expecting that! well, one started throwing nanners--my first experience with that--so she got chopped five days early) so them not popping is a bummer, but perhaps i should have waited until i could have paid them more attention
i don't think you'll have a problem with your girls at all with the breaker. i think it takes a lot more screwing up with lights for it to happen... but what do i know?pics of the twin when you get a chance, please. would love to see her!
I never let them germinate in a papertowel either. Too much handling and chance to do unintentional damage IMO. I have really high success rates and I've popped hundreds of seeds. Only seeds I've popped that did not go were some PE and Peakseeds Blueberry. But he doesn't guarantee germination on the Blueberry anyway and they're cheap. Had some 10 year old seeds not germinate so well either.
Depending on your house temperature I use a heating mat. Try to keep it around 80f.
9/10 with a twin isn't so bad though. Although the one twin seems to be incapable of ridding herself of her shell helmet, and I cant help...
One has tried to opened up it's first set of leaves and has stalled and I have another that is really scrawny and not quite "out of the woods" yet... I would say my most likely outcome for Sugar Punch is 6/10 or 7/10, which is a bit of a poor showing. Especially since I germinated Anesthesia at the exact same time under the exact same circumstances. I also germinated Extrema and Cotton Candy a few weeks ago using the exact same methodology and went 9/10 on Extrema and 8/10 on Cotton Candy. 
Everything will be up to or exceeding code.
that's a name of 1 of my buddies strains he recently made. lol Great looking lady BTW.. Keep up the great work
