thai germination problem(attitude)

I recieved thai and malawi from the attitude...the malawi were up and in rockwool in 12 hrs.! the thai show no signs and it's been 3 days. there's other stuff poppin' up all around them. are they solid duds? or do they take a long time? I keep the container(glad plastic) around 90 degrees. has anyone who's actually done a thai grow got any advice?

i put 5 thai ss in soil and only 2 came up did i ever get a load of crap for that . they are week genetically or the seeds are harvested early they need to be handled with kid gloves. the two that have come up are doing fine and i have faith they will do good ...rob

they gave me 5 Thai skunk for free. there's your problem. free. havent germed yet.

free better never mean substandard or the seed bank will suffer

don't worry. It's not too late for them. I just germed some Satori. They were big, fat, healthy, stripped seeds. Over the years, you would think it would become a no brainer to germinate seeds. I only planted 2 because I already have a full rotation of 2 other strains, and I run a VERY small perpetual SOG grow.

I always do it the same way: I put 2 coco cups filled with dry Jiffy mix in a little cheap "glad" 3x5 snack container. They fit perfectly, maybe a 1/4 inch to spare when you put on the lid. I make a 1/4 inch hole in the middle of each with a pencil. I put the seed in the hole, make sure it is laying down or attachment end up. then I put a drop of dish soap in the container. then I put a something to weight down the cups and hold in the mix, ussually my hand and slowly fill the container with water. I let it soak a little while and then drain off the extra water. I let it dry for a day then when it's not soaking anymore I put the lid on and check every 6 hours or so.

Lots of explanation just get to this. 1 was up late the second day, Like I expected for good fresh seeds. So by day 5 i'm starting to write off seed two. Day six and still nothing. I start to think I must have rotted it with too much moisture. Late on day seven I decide to start a replacement, and I carefully start to pick away the jiffy mix...I see a healthy bend in a root and the seed coat still in place I cleared away a bit more, carefully removed the seed coat. That was last night. Today she has greened up and spread out her seed leaves. YAY!!!

my home grown seed compared to purched mill seed

they last longer in the fridge, but they should be good at room temp for at least 2 years or so, if they are kept dry.

Old seeds can take much longer than normal. I've had them come up next to their siblings 3 weeks later.

id give you another rep for this post but im blocked , yes sometimes it takes a longer for the seeds to pop , thank you pinkus ill hit you up later with the +..rob

I tried 2 more..they're all just sittin' there doin' nothing. I have 5 left.

Attitude is where you got them but who produced them. Attitude don't make no seeds they just distribute the beans.

World of Seeds, The real seed Co., Ace all sell thai or lao (last i looked).

i thought they did make seeds because it takes so long for a strain to get to the tude and they do their own THC tests.

could be, but there are no seeds that aren't designated as coming from some other company that I can find.

Go to the online growing school--Dr. VonDankenstine in this forum---the first section is fast easy seed growth--if they don't pop with that method----"their probley not going to pop... best of luck and hope this helps...

for a while I was guessing that attitude/G13 were one in the same, but now the freebees are Dinafem (which are expensive) so guess not. I think that Gypsy Nirvana DOES produce seeds (makes cheap F2s is what I heard) and sells them. They have a slot at Seedbay, so i'm guessing it's true of them.

i want to cross the shorter alaskan ice phenotype with super lemon haze, my box isn't even done so they're basically pipe dreams. or like jack herer with g13 or somethin crazy.

my California hash plant popped today!
