Apparently heat ruined all my germing TGA seeds

except for one Jillybean. Had 30 seeds total...Quirkle, Agent Orange and Jillybean. Paper towel method on a plate on top of an old style radiator. After 48 hrs, all but one taproot were still under an 1/8 of an inch in length. Planted them anyways. After 5 days I have one seedling. Checked the rest of the seeds, and they haven't changed a bit. After so muuch research and then the anticipation while waiting for the beans, I think I want to just go cry right now.
And to top it off Subcool is just out of Quirkle for 4 months. I supose I could reorder from one of a couple of seed banks, but it's not that their more expensive, I'd just prefer to deal Bidzbay and the breeder him and herself. Also I am not a noob, I planted my first weed seed in 1976 and I have multiple flower rooms in my home. Just been dealing with my own clones for a long time.
PS Important item to note is that on the forum Breedbay, Subcool has a sticky on his germination process and he strongly advises against using a heating mat when germing. Wish I had read that first.
The reason for this thread is to try and prevent anyone else from making the same mistake I did. Hope this helps.
Peace

You maybe able to save some !! Pick the seeds out of the soil if you can and put them in luke warm water for 24 hours !! See if that brings them back !! I use that method on all my seeds now (shot glass) with great success !! Good luck

Sorry to hear what happened. Just do as mother nature intended next time. Its pretty hard to screw up putting a seed in the soil and letting it be.

I justgermed 10 jillybeans in styrofoam cups on a heating mat
4 days later they popped and they are growing happily

I have 100% germ rate this method

sometimes strains take up to 5-7 days to pop tho

You need to lose that "do it faster attitude", or don't use expensive seeds.

wow that sux major ballz!

Oh is that what I have to do. Trying to speed up the germ process never entered my mind....just the way I had done it in the past. And if you get Sub's seeds through Bidzbay they are quite inexpensive.
Thanks for the useless post
