Can't get seeds to sprout :( PLZ HELP!!!!

I am having no luck with my Juicy Fruit seeds. I ordered them from CannabisSeeds.com and out of the 12 seeds I've used 8 seeds to no avail. Four of the seeds were germinated in a folded paper towel sealed in a ziplock bag and four were germinated in a cup of warm water. Once I saw the tips of their tap roots I then placed them in Jiffy pellets. I put the pellets in the greenhouse they came with under 3 cfl bulbs. Days would pass and still no signs of life. Now having only 4 seeds left I am not planning on waisting anymore seeds. I have a bag of Ocean Forest potting soil and I am seriously contemplating simply planting them directly in soil but I want to be sure that they'll germinate. I would like to know if plants grown hydroponically produce seeds that respond better to hydroponic grows or soil? I would like to know if there are strains better suited for soil. Can anyone with a pro green thumb tell me what am I doing wrong? I need you alls expertise. Any advice, comments or suggestions would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. Has anyone ordered from and had success with seeds from CannabisSeeds?

how did you place the seeds in the jiffy pellet? i only put the root tip in the hole and make the back of the seed flush with the top of jiffy pellet you probably put it in too deep.

What kind of enviroment are you putting your pellets in after you put the germed seed in it? And for your hydro seeds soil question, I grow in soil and i have never had bad luck with seeds.

dig it out, odds are its too deep or upside down lol been ther done that.

just put in soil sharp end down. it only took me 7 of my first (store bought) 8 seeds wasted on paper towels before i said fuck it and pushed it into the soil and 3 days later it rose...

I put the seeds root end down about the length of the seed deep

The entire setup is in a cardboard moving box the the Jiffy greenhouse just sits at the bottom of the box while the lights hang down toward the plants

Putting freshly popped seeds in Ocean Forest will certainly kill them. Also they really do not need light at all until they sprout. ghetto made a good suggestion, light warrior starter.

I think I will but I'm going to give them a lil while longer to pop up

Also I highly suggest doing some reading and studying growing. Please click the link in my signature. The thread is a series of great videos from master growers designed for first timers. Good Luck1

I'm with you now man I've been patient and now I'm ready to go old school and put em in soil but I know germinating them first helps to ensure a plant will grow "theoretically". I've been trying and put one in soil but can that soil still be used if I've been watering it for a couple of days with straight water and no life.

Hey buddie, Just a recomendation. When your beans dont pop right away, dont throw them away. I had some crippler seeds I thought died for sure. 4 weeks later they popped out all healthy and craving sun. So just give it time Im sure that they will work out for you.

Light warrior huh I'm going to have to check it out thanks

Aww man I definitely don't want to kill them but I'm going to see if my local hydroponic store carries it

Im sure that they will the light warrior is a popular product. If you cant get that just get a basic seedling potting soil. The only diff with the seedling potting soil and regular soil is the amount of nutes. So you dont instantly kill your babies!

Thanks Green Thum I certainly am going to have to get that

#1 place bean in shot glass of room temp water.

#2 the next day, when you touch the bean, it should sink.... place the same water on folded paper towel, let drain holding the paper towel up, place seed on paper towel, place in baggie set in warm dark area, dvd, cable box, computer,....not hot but good and warm.

#3 Next day look for roots, if not, one more day should do it. I have had beans take up 2 a week, if they have a real hard shell, however they never produce well......

Just a word....anyone have any luck with ceres beans? IMO they are old and SUCK! if they do pop, they are weak....for me: dinifem!, female! TH, I think if you ate theses beans you would shit out buds!

Oh, before I for get, I need all you people to stay off the attitude seed bank site tomorrow, I want to place my order and I don't want any freeze up issues this time! thx
