Your not alone Scott, my seed from the licenced store only did 50% germination and a bit of a hit to my confidence at starting seeds. My other testers went almost 100%. Seeds need proper storage, age limits, phytosanitary testing, germination rates and lord knows what else. There is human error but $10 + a seed sure leaves room for shady stuff.
Do you guys add h202 to your water?
10% in the water you soak your seeds in.
Same with paper towel.
It'll help pop seeds. :thumb:

Stay safe :cool:

i would think top of hot water tank could be much warmer than room temp at times.. especially gas..
and most houses thats in the furnace room usually warm places in winter...
My hot water tank is in our boiler room and I just went in there and cheeked the water tank as you had me doubting myself. The tank is insulated and natural gas and the very top were I put the seeds is actually cool to touch right now in the morning. I put the seeds on a wet/damp paper towel lined plate with a plastic wrap over all but a slit to let air flow over the towel. I usually start my seeds in March so its cool to cold outside and the boiler is turning on and off to heat the house so the boiler room is a little warmer than the rest of the house. I have had pretty good success with this in starting the seeds all but a few seeds in the last 4 years have sprouted....

Yes the numbers are appropriate but there abouts.
The extra oxygen molecule helps.

I try to stick with them if they're not blowing there load all over the place. You might just get a few seeds here and there. A few bad apples ain't worth the whole bushell. Lots of reasons to do in plants but a few seeds isn't one of them. I'm in the middle of age related downsizing and have been riding myself of lots of stuff. Gone is easy, letting go is the killer. :)

What if you just pinched off the pollen sacs before they mature? Just asking cuz I have no idea. Happened to me 3 years ago and had a shitty/seedy yeild... This was B4 I got to know you gents, of course.

I'm wondering if you can pick the male flowers off until harvest, before they pop their nads? If you're not breeding them would it matter 'cause you'll still get unfertilized bud?

dont think its possible to see all the little bastards.. its bad weed old book say hermies to the garbage

i still have 2 other plants..
 
Try isolating it before it 's compost. If it's enviromental you might just be getting the odd flower in one spot. I had Trainwreck that was like that. Cold made it herm, other than that it was great smoke. It never gave the histerics of loosing a whole crop ....... almost did the first time.

Same here, DD. Last cold night. My 2 outside did well at 8 celsius last night. Should be nine tonight then warm weather expected.
I noticed that when I tied the quads down today that they seemed more fragile so I just wieghed down some of them with pipe-cleaners and nuts. These ladies are 6 weeks old. Had to put them out, needed the space. First time quadlining and I have to say that I like what I see compared to my previous grows of spindly branches and loose colas.
So glad I joined.
