Ok haven’t grown in20 years! I ordered from Seedsman l got
10 fastbuds six shooter
First 4/5 poped tap roots in paper towel put in ffhf soil never sprouted
3 Dutch passion critical orange punch autos
duds never even popped
5 ministry of Cannabis NL cheese auto 2 popped still waiting to sprout
6 freebies Seedsman 3 velvet and 3 cheese
2 cheese are the only things growing!I mean at least I got something going! Right now I’ve got the last 4/5 six shooters popped and in soil but I’m afraid they’re not gonna sprout any advice?! Please‼
Bye Seedsman has offered to give me 15 of their seeds for replacement if I pay shipping, any advice on what strains of theirs to get? I’m kinda scared to try any autos again I was super excited to get the fastbuds and the Dutch passion thought for sure I picked some winners any and all advice is much appreciated!
I have a 36x20x63 a decent 1000watt blurple (gonna get a 3950 Cree cob when I have the funds) fox farms happy frog and black gold organic both mixed with about20% perlite and I bought the fox farms nutrients trio, was hoping for a descent first grow! I was gonna keep the autos inside maybe some out n the cheese out now I’m probably just gonna top the cheese twice and flip’em any advice on anything especially how to get them fastbuds to sprout and what Seedsman beans to go for?! Thanks

If you are getting tap roots via the paper towel method and not getting them to sprout in dirt your problem is easy to identify. I leave the beans in the paper towel matrix until the taproot is an inch long. The seedcap should be ready to fall off. If the 'cap is still attached use 2 toothpicks and gently pry the 'cap off. This operation is easiest if the seedling is still lying down on the paper towel. I poke a hole in the dirt just deep enough to accommodate the taproot leaving the new leaves just at the surface. You may be burying the s'ling too deep. Be sure to mist/spray the dirt around the s'ling every day. I always see an inch tall sprout the next day with this method. I wouldn't blame the beans as the chances of a newby getting so many duds is remote.

Good luck, BigSteve.

Get some jiffy pellets. I use them. I put them in a cheap seedling greenhouse with a light overhead. They always pop 99% of the time. I had terrible success when I fucked with them. Ie paper towels and all the other stupid germination methods to speed it up.

Last lot I did was 10 seeds and they all popped within 3 days.

Rapid Rooters. I just stuck in 5 seeds and they all sprouted in 3 days. No brainer. I rarely have a seed that doesn't grow.

Thanks for all the responses no doubt I’ll have more questions as I grow along! Anyone have any good experience with Seedsman strains?

Hey Zig! I'm really a newbie to both growing and forums, and just jarred the last nugs of my first grow.
I got my first seeds from Seedsman too, and have a Velvet Bud freebie from that buy, currently in about week 6 of veg.
I topped it and I've tied down the tops.
Heading into flower, have you got any insights you would be willing to share from your grow of the Velvet?
Peace

Cause they are good at keep customers happy

Very good company to deal with.

As for strains

Black sugar was reported as being fire
Gelat.og has been grown out a bunch
critical purple kush

I am only basing this off the research I did before buying my seeds, I read a bunch of journals on each strain.

I have not grown any of these myself yet
