I've been reading a lot lately, and so far, I've found varied answers; 24hrs - 3 days. What's the max amount of time I should give a seed before I call it quits, and try some new seeds?
I've had seeds that didn't pop up until 5 days. I would give it a week at most. Some pop up in a day and others take three or more. Just be patient. If you buried them pretty deep then its gonna take them longer than usual to break the soil.
Are you germinating these seeds before you drop them in? If you are just planting the seed before making sure it is even alive then you are a crazy fool.
