Only ever use the paper towel method, usually 24-36 hours for a tap root to show, once tho I remember waiting 5 days for one to crack open and it turned out to be a runt I tossed out after a month of giving it the benefit of the doubt

i use a water bottle with maybe afew inches of water at the bottom, toss the seeds in and put it somewhere dark , ie a dresser drawer. usually takes 24-48hr however some beans may take longer (ive had some take aslong as a week until they sprouted) and ive had amazing germ rates doing it this way.

I have 2 sleeslack skunks from freebies that took almost 3 weeks, they are very lucky they didn't get tossed. Just popped this week. 100% vermiculite (fine).

One of my buddies got a bag seed from a friend and he tried to germinate it and nothing after four or five days, so he put it a way for another few months and tried germinating it again and it finally popped after a few days.

Ive done some bag seeds just to practice germing and forgot about them..when I checked back they were all sprouted to their first 2 leaf sets in the paper towels lol

Some of these white fire seeds look like they have a white line where the seed cracks..one had a lil tiny root sticking out..they werein a cup of water and when getting the water and seeds out..that lil tap root broke off and dissolved..I never do water cup method..

I've had white lightening seeds take 20 days. If I didn't have other beans slow taking off, I would've given up!

11 days the longest I've come across, soaked in water for 24 hours then into soil under a t5.
