Man, I've popped a lot of seeds from different breeders and Greenpoints seeds have the highest germination rates possible around 100%. So it sounds like operator error on your part.
I do apologize if I am wrong it just sounds bogus.
As far as the messages go. They had problems last week.

yea defiantly not dude. i tried scuffing, rapid rooters, and even a couple on paper towel. when your seeds are white and small. you know right off the bat the seed isnt mature, and i had a few small and white ones. iv been growing for 10 years and know how to germ seeds, ph'd the water and have heat pad turned down to 77 degrees. I sure hope i get a response soon. and about the germination issue.

Im just as surprised about the germination problem as you guys are . iv seen there reviews on germination and thats why i ordered from them. but when a few of the seeds crack but just stay small and never grow you know theres a problem, i dont have pics at the moment but i will defiantly take some if required by green point. at the moment there still trying to germinate but they can only take so long before you know theres a problem..

Yeah, it sounds like you know what your doing, it must be some anomaly, but it probably happens. I'm certain Greenpoint will make it right for you, but I'm only speaking from my own experience with any problems I've had and germination has been a no problem.

Why not just toss in a glass of water till they pop.ive done this for years and always works.once they get tails just stick them in whatever you grow in

I planted 5 packs of Greenpoint last night and there was not one immature seed to be found in 55 seeds. However, one Guard Dawg x Stardawg still had the calyx attached to the seed. :lol: I wished there was more, because I hear Guard Dawg is crazy potent. Has anyone here grown them? I bought them over a year ago. Some input would be greatly appreciated.

I hate touching my sprouted seedlings and transferring them to media in such a vulnerable state, even my dad would sprout in paper towels back in the 70's, I remember I was there. It's some weird hippy thing to make sure the seeds are pre sprouted before planting, but most people like to see the birth, I guess.
I find much more satisfaction by planting in media about half an inch below surface, making sure the pointy end is up and watching them break the surface in a proper natural birth my preference and usually 100% successful.

I see what your saying,but I've lost seeds to weird shit as the seed spreads apart and the top of the tap root has some unknown issue.i stopped losing seeds in water plus I know if the seed is viable.if it don' crack in water its' a dud no other way around it.seems like I get way better germination when the tap is out of the seed in water and I just poke a hole in a peat pellet and stick it in there.since I started doing it this way I've had no issues.

I usually give them a week and if they don't sprout, I dig around for them and occasionally I'll find a weak seedling sprouted upside down struggling for life and I'll reposition them, usually a female and they'll survive.

Anyone else ever notice that many times. It's the most mutated and slowest starting seedlings that produce the most unique and potent plants?

i always start them in water first. then to paper towel with heat pad. but i also tried rapid rooters straight from seed. i got 4 to sprout of 10 rapid rooters. 7 out of 20 with the water to paper towel method. i just got them over black friday, i dont know if i got a bad batch or what?

I had one pack of Chinook Haze that was crappy aehile back. Did the whole pack of ten. Only 4 of the 10 ever cracked. And all 4 were males. I contacted greenpoint. I had another pack in my mailbox in 5 days. No questions asked.

I have noticed the ones that suck in the beginning are usually female but also usually suck in potency.

I would skip the paper towels.i.get tails about 3/8 Of an inch and they go straight to pellets tail down.
I seen a guy do an experiment on seed orientation in a glass of dirt where u could see the seed sprout and he done it several different ways.the fastest was pointy end down.some say the tap needs to turn down after it sprouts up but I find that to be bullshit.straight out of water.good seeds will pop in 24 hrs.the fastest I've had seeds sprout was shorelines.18 hrs they were popped in water with tails.no joke.straight to peat pellets and the next day they was popping the helmets off.

On a side note Ghost OG is finally starting to flower after almost 3 weeks of 12/12.shit took forever.I can say though they are some stout ass plants.stems and stalks are thick and fan leaves are super fat and wide.out of 5 fems they all look different as shit.there in the same recirc buckets also.clones are already rooted so I can keep one for my reverse project if any are worth a shit in flower.
