dude i'm PISSED

Try the cup of water way I have better results that way

 

Needs to be in a dark n warm place (ex: on a computer monitor, heated pad, fridge, etc.) Higher humidity is also favored when germinating.

 

Try leaving it in a dark WARM place, like in a ziplock above your cable box. It works.

 

Just keep trying youll find what works best for you

 

I had to buy rapid rooter plugs. I put them in a prop try with a humidity dome and under a fluorescent like and all but 1 sprouted. I think i had like 15. Just don't soak them of it will be like over watering and turn black again.

 

No matter what method you use, some seeds just arent going to germinate. You'll have better success with quality genetics, but even then you aren't guaranteed a 100% success rate. If it is just from some bag seed, then Your chances of the seed not germing are gonna be a lot higher. Seriously, if your pissed because a few seeds didn't germ then your gonna shit if your plant gets half grown and dies. If it don't germ, relax and try another seed, or another method. Personally I went with the paper towel method described in the forums, and had 20 out of 30 germ from some random bag seed crap.

 

What the above said. Another thing as well...if they have not germinated in 5-7 days they never will. Bad seeds turn black from fermentation aka its rotting.

 

if that was the solution .... do you know how to get along from here?

 

I like the taproot to be between 1/4 to 1/2 inch long when I put them in soil.


Have fun!

 

get a 16 ounce dixie cup punch holes in the bottom fill it with potting soil put the seed in the middle half an inch deep keep soil moist and very warm and in anywheres from 3-10 days you should have sprouts once they pop they need 24 hour light for 18-25 days then veg accordingly

 

I would have done like what storm crow said wait until its 1/2 in but you can still put it in soil now. mine was like your except it was dark when i got it. Hope your grow comes out good
