whats your method? paper towel method?? put them in a warm place like on top of the cable box and the should sprout in 3-5 days. seeds need to be warm to grow, otherwise we could plant them outside now

I use the papertowel method. soak it, fold it up, put it in a coffee cup and cover it with a napkin. It sits on my countertop in the kitchen. I keep my house at 71 degrees and rarely have a seed that doesn't pop if purchased from a reputable bank.

Mine get kinda cold too, just from being wet. Does your paper towel dry out? maybe that has something to do with it.

those seeds are probably dead or moldy by now or they were just straight up duds.

start with fresh ones, fold a PT in half, place the seeds on the PT/plate fold the other half of the PT over and moisten it. put a similar sized bowl over the plate and place this "germination station" on top of the computer or cable box. seeds should crack in 3-5 days a week tops

I'm fairly new at growing also but have found a great way to germ my seeds, thanks to riu....as most have said, put'em in a wet folded paper towel...THEN put 'em in a zip lock bag....I put mine on top of my t5 floros casing...right amount of warmth...or put'em on top of your hot water heater. Warmth and moisture is a must! They won't dry out in a zip lock for sure. If they're good seed, they'll show root quickly....

Do a search for "Uncle Ben's" techniques for growing cannabis....His germing technique is one I will definitely adopt for my next grow ....Although paper towl/ziploc method always germs very well for me, I'd have problems just after planting and UB technique seems to give me a clear idea of why......
