My fruity chronic cookies are taking forever to germ. Been germing for 5 days now.

Two started to break thru yesterday morning and I checked this morning and the taproot is like 2mm longer.

The other seed didn't even crack yet and im having doubts it will.

Anyone experience that with these seeds?
So are you handling them as the cotyledon are popping out of the seedshell? Because that's not always great on baby plants.

I grow from seed in my cloner and wait till the taproot is long enough to put it thru a 1/4" thick neoprene collar and put the seed resting on top. I use tweezers so I never really touch the seeds.

I do all my seeds this way and never have issues. Only way I know how to start them aero.

Got it. Sorry it sounded like you were messing with them from your post so I misunderstood. What I have noticed when I start seeds straight in dwc vs ground them out til they have a node or two of real growth is that the seeds seem to have a harder time going straight into the system. I'm about to run aero so I'm sure that will be a bit different.

Popped 4 different in house crosses tonight. I was behind schedule and needed a bunch of fems. I went through my beans and most my fems were in house freebies. Let's see what we get. I'm too high to remember what they all were but all were gsc/animal cookie crosses. Plus some cannaventure pure animal fems. Gonna be an animal cookie orgy soon.

I really hope they work out. Looks like a super tasty strain. Can't wait to see the finished results!

No worries. I too found it slow going moving from rockwool to dwc. Past 2 years ive been doing aero to dwc with no down time unless I lose root mass in the transfer which only happens if I delay transfer and roots tangle. I weave the roots thru the netpot slots and roots are in water Day 1. No top feeding and worrying about RW getting too wet.

This morning I noticed a taproot coming out of the last seed so thats a good sign. Very slow going though. One I managed to transfer to aero as its tap root was half an inch. But these been germing since Tuesday night.

I've actually been doing coco/perlite in 2" net cups straight into my dwc and that has actually been working pretty great.

Seedsherenow was selling 5s as 10 packs. Substrate was all good 10 packs in breeders packs, not freebies.

TDT as in the dank team? I thought it was seeds here now that sold a 5 pack as a 10 to @We Can Make Sandwiches unless there is another instance I am not remembering.
I'm pretty sure the dank team was sending out 5 packs that were listed on their site as 10. But I may be wrong about the Seedbank. I've ordered from substrate. Fast shipping, came in breeders packs. 10 seeds.
