I need some help.I got some lowryder from attitude n I'm on day five of the paper towel germination n there showing no signs of life. I've done this before n Its never took more them three for me.I may have put a little to much water once or twice but I don't think I killed them.has anyone had there seeds take this long or have any advice on how to speed this process up,cause its slowly killing me on the inside
Ok first and foremost, killing them with a little to much, well first you woulda seen a taproot, i mean the shell needs to soak up water, and then a tap comes, so to kill them unless they are rotted or mushy you didnt kill them odds are the just are hard ass shells and havent received enough water.
I am having issues with popping ATM I had like 6 or 7 from this batch i have pop just fine now the next 10 literally are like all 3-5 days inside with warmer temps and no popping, I cut into 2 just to see, inside you can see the baby bundles and tap developed slightly. This makes me wonder if the bun in the oven just takes a tad longer or maybe the shell was 2 hard and towel not wet enough.
Right now i am messing with bag seeds cause I dont wanna fuck up my nice attitude seeds until i have a pretty solid system down.
We all have our own plans and ways, I am gonna try a light scoring with a razor blade or scalp, not deep just a light score along either the sharp edge, or maybe a couple over the rounded top and bottom edged on some of these bags seed see if it helps take in some more water and crack. Seeds have some stored energy which is there to help a tap and base leaves develop.... but if they use it all breaking the shell they cannot then push to set the tap and break the earth/soil/medium. NO BUENO!!!! ( Learn this farming ** not bud btw real farming ** since I was a child so over 20 years. )
Also the soaking in water can be good, it can do some harm if your tap water or whatever has toxins in it....... I perfer like Arrowhead or other Mt. Spring water, they have no chem and good trace minerals.
Also the towel has to be wet, I mean soaking wet, not dripping but soaking, you do not want a puddle but moister, it helps it soak through the shell and makes it easier for the tap to absorb.
Hum what else....... I have bad luck on my last batch of 10 first time in years, my guess the towels were not wet enough and I may have had toxins on my fingers or the shells where to hard.
I am going to try cracking or scoring but cracking sounds a tad risky with $10 a pop seeds to me. '
