I got some K36 and mexican sativas from my buddy. And they don't seem to be sprouting its been 5 days. 2 cracked and have a little black "fin". I even broke an unopened one open and it was white like a sprout.
Any help would be great.

wait a little longer, when mine crack like that, i put them into a pot and add a good amount of water, usually they will sprout, although u prob dont wanna risk losing them so id germ them a little longer, ive heard some take up to a week and a half.

It can take up to a week or maybe even more for a seed to sprout... If you didn't "germinate" them, that's probably why you haven't seen them sprout yet..

If you just throw them in the soil, it could probably take up to 2 weeks for it to actually show itself through the soil..

If you're not using the paper towel method, i suggest doing so... Get a paper towel or two and get them wet, not dripping wet, but wet... Fold the paper towel over the seed so it covers it... Put it on a paper plate, and cover it w/ another paper plate... place it in a dark area and check daily, remoistening the paper towel when needed.. Within 3-4 days, you should she a sprout..

Good luck to ya'!!!

Maybe you got some bunk seeds? The freebies i got from Seedboutique did take longer to sprout than the GWS and the Mazar though..is the area you ae germinating too cold for your seedlings?

Try to find somewhere a little warmer round about 28/30 but in something that the light can't penatrate.A seed with a black tip is a sign that the seed split and was left in water for too long.Has soon has a seed shows it's in side shoot put it either into soil or cube and under light.I have 100% success rate with seeds but i have just got some of cannabis.com and not one have split keep away from this site the seeds are too light in coulour.The seeds of this site are realy cheep but it is another case of value for money not one has split after 7 days.Stick too attitude and greenhouse.

i have thrown 11 seeds into a cup of soil, i soaked the cup and put it into a closet, and sprouted all 11.
germinating isnt too difficult in my opinion, wait it out, if the seeds have cracked, ur half way there hehe
