seeds not germinating

ok, I've been trying to germinate a bunch of seeds, and none of them are rooting. Never had this problem before, using the same seeds. I am trying all different methods, trying to get at least some of them started. Some in wet paper towels, some in cloth rags, some in Fox Farm in peat cups. I've scraped the seeds to get the shell started, even soaked them in water overnight. Just VERY frustrated now. I have evething I need to get from veg to flower, except the most important thing - a friggin tap root!

just throw them straight into the dirt! steril unfertalized dirt!

well you really only have 2 options

1. soak 24 hours in cup with water, and pop in some cubes or jiffy or watever u use.

2. soak some paper towels and sandwich the seed in between for about 2-3 days until they pop.


Not sure where youre from but ive been having some problems sproutsing lately too, due to very low temps.


Hope that helps

Low temps will stop them germinating, from memory the soil needs to be 21C, or 70F,
last winter I couldn't get my seeds to germ but you can put them somewhere warm to help them, on the hat water system, on the computer etc, or buy a heating mat.
