I store my seeds in a ziplock plastic and i put them in my closet..

Try this when germinating

1st: Get a cup and fill half of the cup with warm or neutral temperature water. "I prefer distilled or purified"
2nd: Put it inside your closet "Now, your patience is going to be challeged stop checkin it out every hour you need to wait until the next day"
3rd: "Next day" Go check it if its still floating.. if its still floating poke it 3-5 times if that shit didnt stay to the bottom then wait a few hours"
If it stayed underwater "check 4th"
4th: Go drain the water out and get a plastic food container.
5th: get a two pcs of napkins not the restroom napkins use the thicker napkins
6th: put it inside the food container then damp it with water make sure its not Droopy wet now put yo seeds in between of the napkins
7th: Put it inside yo closet. wait till the next day and check it out
8th: now if its still not germinating ALL I CAN SAY IS WAIT FOR it "few more days"

herbiesheadshop go to this site and buy some seeds! ALL OF MY SEEDS GERMINATED.

Hey guys,

Just about 3 months ago I bought a big batch of New York Power Diesel seeds, came about 40 seeds. All of them are huge seeds for what I'm used to, and are on the light colored side.
I've kept them well conserved without any moisture in the fridge at about 4 to 5ºC.
So far from the 10 seeds I've tried only ONE has germinated properly...
The seeds are incredibly hard, and white organic matter starts to squeeze out of the seed shell's crack. I reckon it must be the taproot trying to force itself out.
So I tried starificating the seeds. And all the techniques everyone does to germinate their seeds, and they never seem to crack open by themselves.
I feel like I'm just putting little lives to waste, poor things trying to squeeze through the hard shell.

Do you have any advice? Has this ever happened to you before??

Also, the seeds seem to be healthy because they are heavy and big, and they sink in water after some time...

I'm really starting to think it was a very bad investment to buy all those seeds and have none of them grow out... =(

I'm a sad guy now. Help please.

...& on top of a water heater or heat pad.

Jad3, some guys were talking about the same issue recently on another thread. Their solution was to get a blade & cut a groove along the edge of the seed where it will split open. They said the groove should be 3/4 of the way through if memory serves. I wonder if it's easier to do this before or after soaking for 24hours? Can't remember if they said.

I take a heat pad with temp control, and a small pot, water the pot, place the seed in the middle, sprinkle 1/4" of soil on topthen mist the top of the soil daily. The last time i germed seeds straight into soil it took 3 days with this method. I set the soil temp to 70degrees (because microbes thrive in 60-70 deg soil) and they are on day 3 of being out of soil and are nice and green

I tried scaring the seeds with sand paper. Never tried cutting a grove in the seed. but it does sound reasonable. Any way you could provide a link to that thread? Thanks!

For geminating in rockwool -- soak the rockwool in water for a few hours, then allow to drip dry and then shake out excess water. Don't squeeze the cube! Just shake.

There should be a little hole on one end. If your seeds are big, you can use a chopstick to open the hole up a little more, but you want the seed about 1/4 inch below the surface, not further down. Drop in the seed. Then close the hole up. At that point, I still put the rockwool cube in a dark place, just in case I didn't close the hole up enough. I put it in a large tupperware container with the lid on. At 80F, it usually takes 2.5 days for a seedling to poke above the cube. At 70F it takes 4.5 days.

Good luck!
