I'd wait another day or two. It can sometimes take 7-14 days.

id wait but don't be shocked if it doesnt pop. my experience is if it doesn't pop within 5 days then more often than not it wont.
they CAN take up to 14 days though..so may be worth waiting the full 14 days if its a valuable seed.
usually mine pop within 24-72 hrs (90% of the time at least)

I quit after 5 or 6 days. Shit happens some times the breeder sends a bad batch.

I always put a handful of seeds in a folded up paper towell. Run steaming hot water over it for as long as you can until your hands start hurting from the heat. Put it in a ziplock bag to trap the humidity and moisture, should see popping seeds over night. Never let me down, always great grows.
Dont open the bag until the next day. I have done this before and had a few not open, and threw them in my yard, only to find a 4 ft tall plant 2 months later.

I'm telling ya, running steaming hot water from the faucet over them will speed it up.

once they get their tails in the paper towel, you're ready to grow!

ill give that a try that too ,i got a few seeds to try different motheds, ill put hot water in a shot glass for a day then

shot glass is too much, it will drown it. If you have a few to try, then atleast put 2-3 in a paper towel and fold it up into a small square. Turn on hot water and hold.... While its still hot, put it in the bag so the steam induces it to pop, it mimick's the ideal conditions for a seed to pop in soil in nature. Heat exposure to a moist seed in a humid environment.
