Neikodog's 1st High Brix Multi-Strain

I would give them a couple days before giving up. Also I don't soak mine in water first. Just right out of the pack and into nice wet soil. It takes a couple days more for them to pop but I never accidentally drown any of them.

Doc do you think the transplant is going to hurt the seeds? I figure its not optimal but shouldn't keep them from sprouting all together?

Thanks for the reply Smokey. I know it is too soon to give up but I thought at least one would've popped by now. I'll give it until Friday. That would be one week, if I still don't have at least 1 pop I'll try again.

The extra transplant wouldn't kill them. They'll come up.
 
Well today is a week and still no sprouts yet :surrender:
I was reading through Gov's journal and came across Doc's fool proof method for germinating seeds so I followed that to a tee. I planted them this morning so I am hopeful :wood: that I will have some sprouts soon. I REALLY don't like not having any plants to sooth my soul!
I guess if these don't pop I have to look at my seed storage method. I purchased all my seeds within the last 6 months and I keep them in their original packaging and put them in a paper bag then store them in the lower crisper drawer in the fridge. Anybody got any thoughts on that?
 
Subd! I keep mine in a sealed plastic box with rice, in a bubble bag, in a box, in a rubbermaid container in the garage lol. Its always cool in there. I havent had any germ issues since I started growing with the kit. I soak til they just spilt, water the soil (let drain) poke hole, add ROOTs, let sit for about 10 mins, drop seed (dont touch with nasty fingers lol) and take a lil ball of dirt and cover the hole. No packing, tamping or smashing...thats it, they always grow! :)

Do you have some type of dessicant in with your seeds bro? That long in the fridge...I dunno, might have gotten a lil moist and froze to death

The blueberry seeds had some in the package, but other than that, no I don't have dessicant. This time though the seeds cracked before they went in the dirt.

that's unfortunate.....I always like them to crack in the dirt, not in the water.
 
Yeah bro, get a Tupperware container, fill the bottom with rice, put your seed packs then add rice to fill. Ive had some beans for well over a year and theyre still fantastic :)

They'll keep for years in a stable, 50% rH, cool, dark environment.
 
If theres alot of stuff in the fridge, it wont function like its supposed to. People who stuff their fridge and freezers often wonder why their food goes south real quick. Theres supposed to be space between everything and if theres not, condensation happens and bam...waste!

I don't keep anything else in that drawer and my fridge is never overloaded. If I moved them to the garage they would surely freeze. It was -13 F here this morning.

They cracked on their own in less than 24 hours. They 1st round that I'm still waiting on had sunk but didn't crack.

IN the future, no more than 12 hours.

Roger that!
Doc, I doubt this is the cause but do you think by me putting some of my non HB trim in the soil when it was cooking is hurting me?

Naw.....the trim isn't too much of an issue.
