Hy guy,me one more time.Well...i think i got pretty much what i need to start growing.But im been having problems in germination.Is been almost a week since my seeds are in towell paper/water in a "warm dark place" and nothing happens.

Whats the "normal" time frame to see roots ?

So,plz can you post the way you use for gremination and the time your seeds start developing roots ???


Thanks for your help !!!

i usually see tap roots in 3 to 5 days .. latest 10 days .. this is the way i do it ... put seed in warm glass of water ... leave in 24 hrs ..( usually sinks by then) .. place in wet paper towels .. not dripping , place in ziplock bag and put on top of fridge where it is warm .. open bag to check seeds every day and to let air in/out and remoisten if needed.. once tap root shows .. plant .. but there are lots of different ways to do it .. this is just mine

i always put mine in complete dark and warm spot i put mine on top of the washer dryer and they are sprouted within 4 days and i also take a nail file and gently file the crease going around the seed so it dosent waist energy cracking the seed open and therefore sprouts very quickly .......since doing this method i havent had a seed "not crack or not sprout "yet on me

Hey good idea on the nail file tecnique,not getting pops? me either.,dont ever remember having this much problems in the past.I got some of K.C. BRAINS seeds and they were regular and they all popped in 3 -5 daysanything past 6 days your odds are decreasing dramaticly ,I think that all of these so called female strains
are the root [no pun intended] of all this and over breeding or some gene pool shit going on.= poor odds for viable beans . I have had at LEAST 50 per cent of female seeds a no go,and I have used 3 top banks of the top ssed banks..never had probs germing in the 70's or 80's.now it seems you got to try this and
try that to get results...I bet that when I start to go back to buying regular seeds things would improve greatly..
