Hi there guys!

I think i´ve got a little problem going on. It's been 72 hours since seeds where placed in the wet paper, and no signs of root.

The plate is always wet and covered with a dark plastic to keep light out. Temp 16~18ºC (60~64ºF) humidity 58%.

Seeds are blueberry feminized. (can´t remember shop name ).

Should i wait more time? Or try to germinat them some other way?

Thanks

yeah if you soak them in distilled water for a day and then put them in a wet paper towel they poped quick for us... idk i'd wait it out for 14 day till you give up ... i;m no pro on it tho just personal exp....

seems like my fellow growers missed the key.....temp is at 60-64 and needs to be around 75-80....put in furnace room or on top of fridge

Heated propogators help (also good for cuttings) and only about £15. Have to watch out for drying out though. My root-riot cubes need checking every day in mine.

It´s already on 12/12, but the sprout tip its a little bit brown. Light burn right?

Can't add to the new questions, my guess would be that it depends on the medium for that.

What I've always done is put wet paper towel + ziplock and stuck the bag under my desktop. It keeps the temps pretty good and the majority of seeds sprout within 3 days.

Anything mixed with Blueberry is slow. I've had clones of Skywalker take 20 days!!! Did you PH the water ?

You should of tried the baggie paper towel method I mean you could have
your's to wet for one two you want the temp 90*F and you want the baggie to
stream up just don't get the paper too wet you want it damp not dipping wet~

Yes, but first i forgot and used tap water to water the soil. Fortunately seed was not in soil yet.

The problem with the seeds was that they werent warm enought.

The brown sprout tip is what´s worrying me.
