Seeds not breaking soil

[con1ey]

Could have put them too deep and got boulders on top of them. Maybe take some tweezers and take a peek?

Soaked in H202 mixture for 24 hours then planted them in coco, no dome!

23-24c 50-60% rh.

Depending on how deep you planted them, they may still be ok...If your daring, lightly brush soil away to take a peek. Just be very very careful.

Raw dawg?

...I find when germinating in fall/winter I need a heat mat or at least a warm surface like the cable box
...

Yes! Great minds.... LOL

Just straight hydrogen peroxide

How long have those been planted

 

[farmerfischer]

Just straight hydrogen peroxide

dilute with water down to 1% proxide

They sprouted on September 29th so circa 18 days old.

Ok thanks I have them soaking now and I have coco perlite mix 70/30

Yeah that's what I use for seedlings, I'm not sure about straight H202 I'd expect that to burn the root tip?

I use 2ml 17.5% per litre of water

I got 3% and mixed 2-1 with water

A few drops is all you need.

Ok there’s so much info everyone says different things so hard to kee up lol

I have noticed with the current batch of seeds that I have 6 in total, three seeds I pre-germinated and other three I planted straight in to soil,. Straight in to moist soil worked 100% of the time while with pre-germination in a paper-towel method all germinated seeds didn't break soil and eventually died.

 

[tinyukaz]

Yeah I looked today couldn’t see any change from when I planted so I scrapped them I’m gonna plant some chocolate mint og and see if those do better

Those look happy! Was the coco pre soaked before you planted the seeds? Any nutrients added to the coco when you put the seeds in or do you treat the coco the same way you do when you use a seedling mix and wait for the first set of true leaves to appear before feeding? Also are you using salt or organic nutrients?

Mine always go directly into soaked Jiffy Pellets and into a warm, dark area. I usually see sprouts in 2-5 days. Our hands carry bacteria and fungus and touching the unprotected germ can inoculate them with a pathogen leading to damping off.

If they are older seeds and you think you may have a germination problem that's about the only time I start considering scuffing, soaking (my tap water has chlorine), or gibberellins. Good luck

Hey. I was having an issue with a seed not sprouting after I soaked and planted. I dug around in the area I planted it and managed to find it. After pretty much mangling the poor thing and replanting, she made it. I figured it would because when I dug it up the root was in good shape, so I just avoided touching the root and used tweezers on the husk to place it again. This is day after.

If you're careful it's not totally out of the question to do this. They're pretty resilient. Just not highly recommended for practical purposes.




Day 2

I'll also mention I was really carefull to make sure that the entire root was properly covered with soil. It was a delicate operation.
