Germinating problems

Hey all, I tried doing a search for this and can't find something specific for my situation. I have had 100% germination with my method before. I had 3 free seeds, five casey jones, and 10 romulan seeds germinating in a germination station about 75 degrees. I first soaked them for about 24 hours and then put them in a towel, although no seeds were cracked in the cup. All the free seeds and three of the casey jones cracked and had about a three inch root after only 24 hours... The other seeds (including all ten of the romulan seeds) have yet to crack and its been 5 days now. Should I try to crack the seeds myself? Should I put them back in a cup of water to soak? Or should I just be patient and keep it how it is? Thanks in advance!
 
A 3 inch root after a day?? Well - I don't believe that but then again - every guy's 3 inches is different (if you know what I mean :)). You really should just soak the seeds overnight imo. When they sink - they're ready. You don't want a root or any growth. You want that to happen in the dirt. GL
 
i always drop them in a shot glass and they will sink and start a tap root in the water, ten i pour the entire shot glass in the dirt or seed starter mix.. i just poped a blue widow and with in 2 days it sank and a 1/4 inch tap root was sprouted out the end.. so just use a small glass of regular water when they sink as stated above there ready to plant. if you wait after they sink you can see the seed starting to grow,,
 
You wont have these issues if you place the seed directly into the jiffy pot or rw cube from the start and wait about 5 days 70-80 deg keep the medium wet(90%) until they surface then keep medium moist(25-75%).
 
Make sure the breeder doesn't have specific instructions pertaining to your strain. Had a problem with a strain and come to find out later that the breeder's site had info that the strain I had must be cracked...not scoured but cracked. I don't crack seeds. Cole Train by Reserva Privada is another strain I could never sprout. Recvd as freebies on 3 diff. purchases from Attitude and never understood how a seed that sinks in less than 3 hours of soaking in water wont germinate in either soil or a plug.
