Germing

Hi guys-Newb here

Honestly frustration has set in because I have at least 15 seeds that.I've tried to germ and nothing has come about.I've tried most methods from paper towel to soaking to straight into soil and NOTHING!...I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.Before I thought it was my water but I tried from b oth my Brita and distilled water and come out with the same result.I've kept an eye on temps and theres no issue there and I have not put them into direct sunlight.

Can any suggest maybe what I'm doing wrong????

i just put mine in a wet paper towel on a plate covered with same size plate and put on my cable box and in a day and a half i had germs , no light ,keep warm ,and keep towel moist

I pretty much do the same, I cover the seeds with a moist paper towel then put the other plate on top. I put mine in a cupboard and check it daily for moisture. Within 2 to 5 days you should see a sprout. Keep it moist, not too wet.

the seeds that you are germinating, how did u come upon them, from a buddy or ordered?.. the last seeds i used were ordered and went 20/20 success but the first time i tried with seeds from a friend i had no luck at all cause the seeds werent mature enough... what do/did your seeds look like?

mostly green to greenish-brown


A good friend of mine gave them to me-not ordered

Green seeds are too immature to germ IMO
The greenish/brown ones are a step in the right direction but the real ones you need to be looking out for are the dark brown/tiger stripey ones.

Can these seeds mature and then I can try when they do?
