Germination problems with Dr. Chronic seeds

High,

My friend and I recenlty purchased Lowryder #2 seeds from Dr. C.

Well, it's been almost 8 days since the seeds have been planted in the aerogarden and the progress has been pathetic thus far.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. The temp is around 85, using small amount of Fox Farm nutrients, humidity is right, ph is around 6.5 and it's recieving 24/7 lighting with 2 fans blowing. Yet, only 1 has made any real progress, which is not saying much.

Could it be the seeds from this particular site? CAn anyone give me any advice as to what I might be doing wrong? thnaks.

c'mon people. I need some advice.

first off, never had a problem with Doc's seeds. 99% germ rate. Did you crack the beans first? I don't use any nuites for the first week, maybe some superthrive, if anything. Give some more detail what you did from opening the package. Did you soak them overnight?

No, I went to directly putting them in the little pots on the aerogarden. I didn't use that much for nutes. I ued about 1/3 teaspoon. Not sure if that matters or not. Should I haved used the damp towel method first?

I think you are supposed to germinate in the dark. Don't put them under lights until they crack open.

Yea, seeds need to crack in a dark and humid place. Once the crack and sprout a root you transfer it over. If you just plant them in the rockwool, that might be your problem.

I could not get Dr. Chronic seeds to germinate because they never sent me my order!

A friend ordered from Dr. Chronic and got seeds which fell apart and into dust in his hands!
