I bought a 10 pack of seeds and I germinated all 10 seeds and now only 5 have cracked and are sprouting roots, should I call the company and see what they can do or juss take it as is? I bought it from a local wholeseller

It's not a great rate by any stretch but it could have been your technique; you never know. Sometimes you get the bear; sometimes the bear gets you. You can give it a shot but I wouldn't count on it.

I did all 10 at the same time and 5 rooted, I soaked them I'm bottled water for a few days until they cracked, then I put the ones that cracked into a moist paper towel and left it covered and they look great, the rest I soaked for a few more days and still nothing, its been a week

Sounds like you did it right. I'm thinking they were probably fairly fresh seeds.

yeah the seeds need to sit awhile before they are sold, and it helps to use distilled water with a little bit of hydrogen peroxide. I use a 5 to 1 ratio 5parts water 1 part hydrogen peroxide and soak until first sign of taproot drop into rapid rooter plug works almost every time .Last time i went 10 for 10
