Getting started issues

This isn't my first rodeo, but I've never ran into such problems before. I received 12 White Widow seeds from a European seed farm and have yet to have a single one srout. I tried planting them 4 at time. Straight to soil has failed. Non of them would germinate with the paper towel method. The last 4 have been planted straight to soil and have yet to sprout. Its been 5 days. The previous 4 have been planted for over a week. Still no results. I've used pellets, seed starter mix, and germination station. All have failed. Any suggestions?

I've had seeds take 6 days and more, but I hate to say it but sounds like you've had bad luck, I sure as hell wouldn't buy from them again, was it a reputable seed bank?

Single Seed is a good place, I've bought from them a number of times with no problems, decent prices too.

Herbiesheadshop.com for a seed bank. Breedersboutique.com for banging genetics, prices, and customer service from the breeder.

Also, try dropping seeds in water for 24 hours, then into your soil. If all those fail, I would call it a loss and start fresh with a different bank/breeder.

Why don't you use your super saiyan power and make them grow? LOL. I always had success with the paper towel method. Works 99.9% every time. Fold a wet paper towel into a nice square..place wet seeds on wet paper towel...grab another wet square paper towel and place in on top..put it on a flat plate and into a kitchen drawer. It will sprout in 3 days tops. Paper towel seeds sandwhich.:clap:

Yeah paper towel method is very effective usually 100% germ ratio. maybe you didn't germinate them long enough they may take up to 4-5 days or more to pop
 
Thanks for all the info. I guess its time to throw in the towel and start fresh. Know where I can get Dutch Treat seeds that ship to the US?
