i meant to add to this originally.
don't go 3 days with same water if poss. or at min shake it to aerate it. stagnant water has bacteria and shit. i change the water every 24 hours if t goes that long

All good advice here guys. I change the water daily too. Sing to ‘em etc. little pep talk sometimes helps. Also appreciate the offer Useful. It’s always good to know if things are popping off or not popping I figure. Knowing is half the battle. :bigjoint:

I have always used sandpaper and I go on the assumption that it helps, but since I have never not used it, I can't say for sure. Also, it might help to fridge fresh seeds for a couple of weeks before attempting to pop them. Once again, I have no real evidence that it helps, but when I make my own seeds, those I fridge for a few weeks before trying to pop are 100% germ rate, those that I don't fridge are never 100% germ rate. Could be a coincidence, or there could be a real good reason. I like to think that it is just part of the natural cycle. Seeds drop in the fall, sit through the winter, then pop in spring.

I got the Jabba Stash and of course the free xmas bud seeds. I too was having a difficult time germinating them (I usually go straight soil), but they would not pop. I tried the sandpaper method with a paper towel and they popped in less than 48 hours!

Mind me asking if you had any difficulties with your Xmas seeds? I'm on day nine of germination and the first one just popped above soil yesterday.

i tried the sadpaper method as well cpl days ago 1 germed but didnt break soil yet after a soak. 2 others shell cracked but no tail rest not much still and this is about 2 full dyas into submersion again. this is after the emory board. i agree it is the shells tho. i am gonna buy a seed cracker i think just in case this happens again. i still may get 0 because the one that did germ is still not sprouting. anyway live and learn. but those are some prehistoric shells lol

Hydrogen peroxide is hit or miss. Seen seeds respond well but sometimes i wonder if any good bacteria is lost. Seen a fellow on youtube whom uses mycos on the seed with the towel method. I wonder if after a couple days in water with perox then on to the towel and mycos? The initial perox bath will take harmful microbes away. Then we add good bacteria back to combat bad ones from returning ?

I dono. Kinda like eating probiotics after taking antibiotics. Lol

Honestly, a lot of this stuff seems to complicated. Yes, like I said earlier, I use sandpaper, in my mind that is kind of natural. A seed in the wild is going to get roughed up some over the winter. Also, give them the refrigerator time, like winter, natural. Then when I pop them, I just put them in some wet napkins and the success rate is very high.

I will admit that I purposefully didn't pop xmas tree yet because I saw in this thread Useful say he was shucking them and then sending them out, as soon as JBC listed them, I ordered and 3 days later they were at my door. That left no time at all for the fridge. As excited as I was to have them, I popped 2 lotus larry x tranquil elephantizer, 2 white lotus x white biker, 2 florida og, to give them a winter first. All 6 of those popped within 12 hours. The Florida Og (GYO) were the last 2 to pop.

I tend to lean towards your thoughts. It's just popping seeds, rare that I have trouble. Hell I tossed seed in a pot a while back that had a plant in it already, the plant from that seed came up strong and vigorous. That was just me literally tossing it in the pot, getting washed around from waterings..... But I can also see using other tactics when you have germination issues.

DDS 8 maybe 9 days from flip.#1&2

These gals will be the first new genetics to be harvested of the new year for me.I'm stoked:hug:
Anyone have an idea as to why those fan leaf tips are pointing down? I'm thinking humidity? It has been a bit lower than I usually run.

Yes on the frig time and nothing complicated about that, it's natural. I have a saying, "People have a tendency to make things too complicated, which creates complicated problems" this goes for anything, but I use it most when discussing weed, especially with organic soil growers, less is more and K.I.S.S.
Best,
