I've had nothing but trouble trying to germinate these lowryder seeds. The last two seeds I soaked I water for 24 hrs until they stayed at the bottom and then I placed seeds in damp paper towel inside a zip lock bag. after 3 days in bag still nothing. Can ANYONE offer suggestions??

***Already tried several seeds as well. this is the only strain i've had trouble germinating.

soaking them works too.
the seeds need water and heat to germinate :peace:

I would just try the damp paper towel technique. I have never tried soaking them for 24 hrs. I use a tupper wear dish with a lid and keep it in a dark warm place and check it every day. I also wait till there is a good sprout before planting and it can take longer than 3 days to sprout as well. I have read that it can take up to 2 weeks but it has never taken that long for me. Usualy 3-5 days. Then again i have never grown lowryder.

okay. i've tried the xbox, the top of my pc grow box, and last but certainly not least i put under my 400w MH parabolic for a while. i only tried the soaking for 24 hrs first "thing" because i had read that works especially for lowryder. I've never had to do that in the past.

it's hard ,but be patient I've waited as long as 10 days for a seed to "pop". But on the other hand I did have 20 seeds not germ at all for no apparent reason. good luck and hang in there.

well i will go through every damn last seed if i have to but one WILL germinate! lol and i ordered 10 ak47 auto flowering seeds that hopefully will be in shortly. i'm planning on trashing the pc grow box and getting larger DWC setup in the 4x4 closet under my 400w MH....the pc grow box was a waste of money but i had no clue what i was doing when i bought it so.... :p
