yep, email them asap about the issue. I'd be honest in evaluating your germ process. Something most likely caused this to happen on your end. I usually germ 3 diff. seedbanks of seed together but marked for strain. That would be one way to really tell if it was seeds or operator.

Wow that is a bit of a shocker. DP makes some good shit. If you said White label seeds then I wouldn't be too surprised. Typically people that buy DP stuff either have problems with hermies or mutations with some of their strains and a couple of their fem seeds, but aside for that their stuff is pretty good.

For the most part though their shit usually pops open in 48 hours or less. Hell a buddy of mine had a chipped DP Power Plant seed (25% of the seed was missing) and that fucker popped open like a normal seed in 12 hours. You must have got a bad batch or screwed up germing it. What method did you use and how long have you been germing? I wouldn't call t his a total failure until a weeks past.

Your seeds could have a hard outer shell. Try placing sand paper in a match box and shake the seeds around. This will cause microcuts in the shell and help speed up germination for seeds with a hard shell. I'd try that before I said these seeds were a total failure.
 
shit man-feel 4 ya. i had 18 white russinas, and none of them germed, how carzy is that-i just got so shitty seeds to:(
if ya can get your self a reliable clone and tend 4 it and youl get a good motha fucka 4 life:)
 
germ like always..not my first go around lol..cup of water..paper towel..in the soil/or rockwool depending obviously on soil or hydro they go..heating mat too
 
its been two weeks...and i keep whatever they are in moist when they sprout you let it dry out a lil before water again..i mean this is elementary shit...lol..ive never had a problem with germ thats the eaiests part..ive prolly germinated a million seeds
 
Odds are you got a bad batch of seeds. Email them first and in the mean time I'd try the sandpaper thing, you'd be surprised how well this works with other kinds of hard to sprout plants.
 
Sandpaper does work if they're still viable but maybe they got cooked or frozen in transport, if so even sanding or slitting the seed won't help.

It's not that unusual and you will probably get free replacements.
 
booo..attitude told me they can do anything cause they are in the UK..they are for souvenir purposes only:(
 
I seen this post yesterday and felt no need to respond....BUT
I germinate the same way you did and the seeds that dont pop i still plant. THE reason i am posting now is this morning i woke up and checked my plants and a seed that didnt pop but i still planted over a month ago sprouted!! nice surpize :)
