The best way I've found is to keep them sandwiched between 2 paper plates to keep all the light out. I've had some take 6 days or so. Maybe wait 2 more.

I've had seeds take up to 7 days before they started germinating. Give it a little longer before giving up on them.

Yeah I kind of figured that I was going to wait anyway just figured I'd ask

How is everyone doing how are your grows doing I finally had a harvest I think it would have been better if I had the money for better lights because my goal is to not focus on big yeilds but more quality I have been using coco but when my coco is done was thinking about soil does anyone have advice on soil

Also tips for going organic can can organic be used for coco might be a stupid question but I wanted to ask thank you all

give it more time... they could be older seeds. I've had old seeds with nothing but water take a week before they started to popped tails.. gibberellic acid will help seeds ( especially if older ) crack their shell and germinate with more vigor... easy place to get gibberellic acid is from kelp meal/ liquid kelp extract.

just watch your moisture,temperature, and light.. like SD mentioned they prefer darkness.

I've bumped into auto seeds that would not germinate well without being frozen first. I bumped into others that I could not germinate for a few weeks, but a month later I saw they sprouted in the abandoned pots. Usually I have pretty good success, but there are huge differences in seeds. Some stains have a reputation for various issues.

Some issues can be from weak genes, but actually they can come from strong genes too. Sometimes a tough shell is a problem for an anxious person, but I just threw the same seeds on the ground and they sprouted on their own. With the particular strain people recommended using a little sand paper to get it started.

I'm hoping they are good was wondering if you or anyone could tell me this

If you get seeds from weak bud if you get the seeds and plant them could they come out good

It all depends on genetics, they have come a long way. Also it depends on climate, and how you run them. Just do research on which strains and genetics produce the higher quality. That's what I've been doing.
