Germination problem?

alright so I germinated 2 seeds 3 days ago. Both are from fastbuds and one seed is Fastberry auto and the other is Girl Scout Cookies Auto. Both sat in a glass of water for 12 hours then a paper towel for 24. The Fastberry seed germinated just fine and has grown it’s first set of leaves. The GSC seed on the other hand... cracked open and has a tap root barley showing. I put it in soil thinking maybe it would sprout, but nothing has happened. The taproot hasn’t grown anymore. I put it back in a wet paper towel to germinate longer last night, hoping it would help the tap root grow a little longer before putting back into soil. I also noticed the tip of the taproot broke off a little bit, not much at all it’s just a tiny piece at the tip. Could that be why it’s not growing out more? Is the seed trash now?

Sounds like it...
Damn that's a bummer, looks like I'll be ordering more seeds this friday :/

oh well, I just got home and after another 12 hours of sitting in a wet paper towel in a zip lock it still has not grown any more of the tap root out of the shell... it's a goner.

I typically try to pop four times what I think I need, because of stuff like this. Shave half for failure, shave another half again for males.
