Got a pack of Jungle Peaches by Alien.

Im trying to advance my self in the realm of growing cannabis and I decided to buy some “top notch elite genetics” to do a small pheno hunt and hopefuly find a female keeper and a male to cross with my Guava Kush. Pack cost $250 from Platinum Seeds.com

Pack came with 14 regular seeds. Tried to germinate 4 seeds and only one popped a tap root came through then halted growth completely along with the other 3. I have germinated countess seeds before from websites like seedsman, attitude seeds, ilgm etc. with almost 100% germination rate.

I am trying to germinate 5 more now and will update soon.

Germination method: Let seed sit in 70f degree R/O oxygenated water (let air-stone bubble water for 24 hours) until it sinks, then place in coco with small room RH around 85.

Any advice or past experience would help. you would think such expensive seeds would have a better germination rate..

I use rapid rooters.........no soaking.........99.9% germ rate.
Thanks for the reply and Yes I actually use riot rooter cubes, and didnt have success that way and thought it might be the problem (being too wet) so I just out them in the coco after they sunk. ‍

The method is not the problem. The problem is the seeds and I'm wondering why.

That’s a trip because I bought alien genetics as well from the same place and only got one to pop out of five of them and I popped about 30 other beans from other breeders every one of them Sprout it and are doing great except for the ones I got from platinum from alien genetics

It's most likely old seed stock, what I've noticed is a few seedbanks have only 1 or maybe 2 cultivars of Alien genetics nothing more.

Damn that sucks I was under the impression that they lasted for a long time I have like six or seven more I’m gonna pop fingers crossed because I’ve been waiting to pop these apple rock candys And not having any of them come through has been a bummer

I understand, I hope you get some that germ and are keepers for you.
