whats the longest it's taken your cannabis seeds to germinate?

i found an 8 or 9$ heat pad for pain. i figured, save the receipt, try it out, return if it gets too hot. It's pretty nice. i sprouted a few basil very rapidly so ill keep it. holds a warmer temp if the baggy is below the pad on an insulating surface.

soooo, ive let them soak in water/humic acid for 24hours. then planted into vermicasting soil blocks..one sprouted after cracking open in the cup with no issues. i tapped each with a pencil and noticed they sank so this is when i planted into soil blocks. its been 7 days and no sprouting. i pulled one up from the soil block and tossed it back into a cup of water to see if it goes any faster than the rest still in blocks. theyre only a half centimeter or so into the block btw.

question..

well aside from the title question, if im between 70-80F i should be golden to germinate right? has anyone else gotten crap seeds from attitude?

history,
ive been growing cannabis for a few years now and havent had so many "fresh" seeds to not germinate.

comments and off the wall criticism is welcome

Last grow I had a seed that popped up 2 weeks after I gave up on it.

i contacted attitude seeds, they dont like hearing that the seeds were germinated but they were happy to help. theyre in contact with the suppliers to see about replacements. i imagine that something happened to them between them and me in shipping. maybe got scorching hot in transit? yea ive never had such a problem other than trying to pop 6 year old seeds from attitude last year. none of those germinated.

this mess still hasnt germinated either...i put them in solo cups of dirt and reconfigured the "incubation" a few days ago when we were sharing methods. soil is moist and not wet or dryView attachment 3810504 View attachment 3810506

I had a whole order that had problems. Makes me wonder if they irradiate them to make them sterile or something.

Its normal for it to take a week to 10 days to sprout for stubborn seeds. I have thrown random seeds out in the dirt or yard and forget about them only to see them sprout and get a foot tall a month or two later.

Some need to be hard to sprout. In the wild if they all sprouted to a late warm spell there would be none for the next year. If having trouble you can sand them or pop them in the freezer a couple days. It tricks them into thinking winter went by.

had seeds pop a tap root in 2 hours and had alot take upto 4 weeks

Tigerpaws · Oct 28, 2016

These 2 have looked like this for 2 days now. Should I go ahead and put them in soil or wait until the taproot is longer?

I say now. some say when the root is 1/2"

Thanks. I'm going to tonight. They just stalled after they popped.

the papet towel might be too wet. if the root stops that means the root has found enough water to survive. (according to royal seeds). looking good though. once you you send to soil it'll pick up again.

usually once my seeds get to this stage the root grows quick like half inch in 6 hours the root is looking a little dark to me, they arent seeing light are they?

why make everything so difficult..Unless youre growing Hydroponics stick seed into paper towel wait for root..plant root facing down cover lightly with dirt keep top of soil moist then wait..theyll sprout like 100% of the time

The tip on the longest one looked a little brown to me. I put it in dirt. Fingers crossed!

lol and be considerate of environmental factors that may inhibit/infect seeds!

I think this might be my problem, started 5 on Friday and all popped in 24 hours but now they look exactly the same 2 days later. Going replace with a new paper towel that is lightly moist hope this helps. Thanks

I don't use a paper towel. It is not needed. It is a seed.
