germination

ok i know there are millions of threads about this and sorry to put another one up but i got about 10 seeds from some pretty good mids the other day and tried germing a few but htey wont do it. i kept them nice and warm and moist in a few sheets of paper towel but they wont germinate. i left them for a week then chucked them out and tried a new batch but they wouldnt germinate either. they are nice ripe brow mottled seeds that wont crush if you squeeze them gently. am i doing something wrong or are they just shitty seeds?

cheers guys

Are they damp, or wet? Is it kept in a dark area?
Good luck!
Peace

Try soaking them in water overnight before placing them in the paper towel. Wrap the seed in the paper towel and then place a little bit of the towel into water so it will soak it up. If that doesnt work, u got some duds there

@ videoman
theyre in a little jar in a shoebox in one of my drawers which stays nice and cool and theyre in a dry container.
@ jim
thanks man will try that


cheers guys

Chaz I tried a few different variations when germinating and this one works the best with about 60% of my seeds germinating, I used a couple of those small round cotton pads that women use to take off their make up I put about 6 seeds in between each pad and put enough water in the little dish to keep them moist, I then put the dish about 2 feet away from my hot water system which is in a cupboard, I check the cotton pads every day and add more water if the pads get dry, I Tried exactly the same way but put the dish on the window sill and no luck maybe 1 or 2 germed but in the dark warm dry cupboard it works well.
