all my seeds refuse to grow papertowel help opinions plzzzz

tried useing window sill agaist window under my lites i can say im lousy at germinateing that was in the papertowel moist a little wet then weter i tryed naturally in soil
lost them in it somewhere been 2 weeks gone have four more reluctant in trying again with those got a better way...

They need no light at all until they are in the medium and sprouted. try again with the paper towels, keep them moist and in a dry, dark, well ventilated place like a cabinet. Are these bag seeds? How old are they?

Hey I recently started my first grow using 9 seeds from to different companies. Barnysfarm and DNA gentics.

I boiled water in the kettle to strealise it and then waited for it to cool down. Once cooled I took the water and made sure top alter it to 6.0 ph.

I then took two paper towels so it wouldnt rip so easily n hold more water. Placed them into a sandwich tub with 4 - 5 seeds on top. I folded the paper towels and poured the stearilised 6.0 ph water onto them till they
were fully wet.

Then I gently picked the paper towel up keeping it flat and placed it in to an empty sealable sandwich bag flattening the air out. Once sealed I then placed the sandwich bag into a dry sandwich tub, pop the lid on
and then leave for 48hours in a warm dark place.

ALL 9 Germinated no problems..

Hopefully all should be well..

I put my seeds in a moist paper towel and place it in a storage container like Tupperware and leave it. I have a 99% germination rate.

i started putting mine in a glass of tap water, waited about a hour to see if the seeds have dropped to the bottom, poke them down if they haven't, then leave them for about two or three days them put them on a paper towel, covered and in a cupboard, always worked,

Put the seeds between moist- not dripping paper towels, slide that into a ziplock, exhale into the bag until it's blown up then push it back almost flat before sealing it then slide that under the fridge. You'll have sprouts in a day or two!
