Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I need some advice... i germinated a seed three days ago and havent had a sprout yet...should i be worried?

i checked and the seed DOES have a tap root...should i just be a lil more patient or should i start over?

i am using a bubbleponics...res temp is around 75 deg. humidity level is high, around 85%. i can only get my cabinet to stay at 70 deg. due to the cold weather outside. pH is good at a consistent 5.8.

any suggestions?
 
depending on the quality of the seed it could take 1 or 2 weeks after 2 weeks tho throw away the seed if it has not germinated cos it means the seeds useless
 
Ya know i didnt notice that you said it had the root showing.. so id do like someone said before and discard of it after like a week or 2..
 
you should germinate seeds in paper towel ,or a cloth first. then put in in the gerninated seeds into the bubbleponic setup.... i would think, but i have never used hydro

thats what i did...did the paper towel method to germinate then when i saw a tap root i placed it in the system. although i have read you can germinate in the bubbleponics as long as you have the right temps, etc.

hmmm. and still eh. well im sure they will pop up sooner or later... but when i germ in paper towell i let them germ till i see the start of the little green leaves then i plant.
 
Place your seeds in a wet paper towel and fold it, then place it in a zipblock bag and let it sit for another 3 days. always positive results with me
 
so you guys think i should take the seed out of the rockwool and put it back in a saturated paper towel and then put it in the ziplock..warm place until sprout?

sounds like a plan!

okay guys...i took your advice...and i think i just got a batch of bad seeds cuz still no luck...i havent pitched them yet...but surely they would be sprouting by now. i even took one a kept it in a shot glass 1/2 full of ds water and then once it sank i took it out and added it back to the bunch in the towel...nothing

fyi,
got the seeds from the doctor...dr. chronic...he has a good rep for being a trustworthy doctor so i went with him...Big Bang strain...5 feminised. they looked fine, but they were small and i wouldve like them to be a lil more brown...they were a darkish green with the tiger stripes.

i think im going to order some more, just got to convince the wife to let me spend the money!

I girminated my seeds right in Jiffy(peet) pucks and it seems to be working ok and it was very easy, I soaked the puck in a white plastic cup half full of water, than the puck expanded to about 2", I drained off excess water (left the puck in the cup), I dropped the seed into the hole of the puck, covered it with plastic wrap and gave it light. But I could of just been lucky b/c I hear mixed things about jiffy pucks. Perhaps trying a seedling heat mat may help.
Just my two cents. Good luck either way

i just ordered more seeds...went with Nirvana this time...and they offered some of those pucks with the order, so i got some coming. i also starting experimenting and took all my seeds that ive been trying to germ, and since they are pretty moist i took a razor blade and sliced the sides open...i seen how thick the shell is on these so that might be one of my problems.
