I know that people will say you should read some threads before i post this,BUT i know how to germinate,but am having trouble trying to germinate some seeds i bought from the Doctor.I germinate useing a dome system with a wet paper towel inside, a drop or two of hydrogen proxide and place all that wrapped up in a towel sitting on a heatting pad thats set at 80.I check it every 12 hours not only looking for a tap root but to make sure theres water in there,but using the dome system i never have a problem with the paper towel drying up.I ahve tryed to germinate a total for 10 seeds and not a thing.Any suggestions?

I usually let my seeds soak in water for 24 hrs before I use the paper towel method in a tupperware container. Sounds like your method should work. How long have they been germ for?

I just pop mine into a jiffy pellet and a couple of days later they're up.

Longest i had to wait for seeds was a week ... you definitley need to start new seeds :)

Yeah, i just wet a paper towel nice and wet, then i put it in a relatively airtight container aka gatorade bottle (with a nice wide neck), or a ziplock bag or two. Make sure to also put more water into the container before sealing it. Then just let it sit somewhere dark and preferably warm for a couple days. I just started the whole growing process, but this seems to work pretty well for me..let me know what you think

When i germinate i take 2 paper towels and place them on top of each other. I place the 2 paper towels on a plate and spread water over it to make it damp. Dont have it soaking wet have it damp and a little wet. Take your seeds and put them on the paper towels. Than take 2 more paper towels put them over the plate and also spread water over those. Again they need to be damp and a little wet but there should be no water buildup or flooding. Than get a bag from a grocery store and place the plate inside of it. Dont tie the top just tuck it under itself and put it in a dark cabinet somewhere and check it every day. Ive been using this method and usually get results within a few days to a week. ;) If its been a month and your suckers arent coming out. 1: your doing something wrong. 2: Seeds are bad.
Hope this helps!!:D

by the way it sounds, soil germination is best for you. no offense, just trying to help out. germinate them in Organic soil with SuperThrive watering mixture. Have yourself a spray bottle and spray them every six hours or water them 2tsp every 14hours. Hydro-Germination like every one else is doing is just to save time. Obivously you are very patient when waiting for one whole month on germinating seeds. 5 days wont hurt, will it?
