So I dont usually have issues with this but recently I have put 3 dinafem critical + autos, and none of them have popped after four days.

My method is wet paper towel folded over the seeds and I place them in a zip lock bag,in someplace warm and dark. Usually they pop with in a day or two at most. How long should I wait?

Couple more days. Then take a seed a try to slice open with a razor and put back in paper towel in ziploc.

Some say it could take up to 6 days to pop. Pending on cleanliness genetics temp and moisture. In my experience if they don't pop after 5 days somthings up. Mildew is the usually culprit.... if ever the case you will need new seeds and poke some holes in your bag or leave it slightly open to allow some air flow.

IF THEIR NOT MOLDY OR ROTTED DON'T THROW THEM.

They look fine. No mold or anything. I'll let them hang for a bit.

I'm going to try the method of dropping them in a cup of water and then putting them in some cubes in a rooting box I'll make and then put them directly in my rdwc setup.

The paper towel method damages micro roots and is the main reason why three of my plants are all different sizes. The stronger seed from the beginning always has had better roots.

Interesting. Let me know how that goes. I dropped 5 heavyweight fast and vast two days ago, and they all have popped and been put in my root plugs... The other three still haven't done a thing.

I have not updated my journal in a bit, I guess it is time to! The f&V and the 2f&2v are both nice, I like the second the best because it is crossed with a nice Northern Lights.

I have never grown anywhere but in a tent. I had heard autos have a hard time outdoors. Those look pretty nice though.

I wouldn't say autos have a hard time outdoors, I have only grown them outdoors though when the sunlight hours are pretty much at their peak. I got a 15 auto greenhouse grow goin on, have a journal in the outdoor section where the sunlight hours aren't all the high right now.

So, I will be able to speak from experience on rather or not autos do good outdoors throughout the year. Should be done late april/ early may.. If you are curious to see how a pretty nice sized auto garden does outdoors when the sunlight hours aren't all there, your welcome to follow along on my thread. I plan on doing another update today, my journal should be found within the first 3 pages, just let me know if you can't find it and I can post a link.
