I recently received an order of 3 Sour Diesel and 1 White widow (came free) from attitude seed bank, of course I was excited as anyone would be. Anyways, I decided to germinate the seeds the very same day and I thought everything would go fine, of course I didn't know that I was very wrong... Anyways, a week later none of the seeds had germinated and I figured that I should wait another week, and so I did. Okay now it's been 2 weeks, at this poin I'm pretty sure everything is dead. For the white widow I used the paper towel method and for the sour diesel I used a nice propagator and sowed the seeds in fox farm soil. Any help?

:( i think ur seeds are a dud mate especially after 2 weeks. Unless from some reason u put them in paper towl and didnt wet them at all thats all i can think of.

Ur not supposed to use soil with nutes on seedlings.

Did u wet the paper towel so its really moist but not dripping wet? Did u then put it inside a zip lock air tight bag and put it in a warm area?

YOU SUCK! lol. now but for real man start with bagseed perfect your germination method and try try again. my method is simple put seeds in bowl of water in windowsill (yes i trust my seedbank seeds in the middle of winter this way) then when you see the root tip sprout place it tip down with a pair of tweezers into rapid rooter or rockwool. then water with plain water or water with seaweed eaxtract(just a little, like 1/10 strength) till you see the first or second true set of leaves

To clarify your questions I did properly wet the paper towel and I did not use soil like miracle grow I used fox farms, and I also made sure everything was sterile and safe.

fox farm soil is hot(high in fertilizer) not good for seedlings i personally like straight peat moss or rapid rooters.

I've used peat moss before and it worked ok for the seedlings but it cause problems later on, I never had problem with fox farms soil ever before, I was thinkin that maybe the seeds might of been bad.

operator error. 9x out 10. paper towl method is crap. better to see if your seeds are bad by putting them in a bowl(float or sink doesn't matter). and i have had seeds sprout after 2 weeks just leave them alone till you see root tips.

also if you got real skill like me you can scrape(i use tweezers) the very edge of the shell(the line where th seed splits when it grows) and make it thinner so its easier to split(

I've heard fox farms ocean forest(if thats what your using) is too hot for seedlings, but i personally have had 100% success rate with starting in ffof, so i doubt its a soil problem.

Two weeks of paper towel method and no pop? or they popped but never sprouted?
If you did the paper towel method correctly like you said, my only guess is duds. Hard to believe all of them were tho :(


hope you have better luck next time

Yeah, I usually pre soak seeds for 24 hours then plant straight into moist (not damp) soil or peat moss.

Thanks for the help, I'm going to assume it was partially my fault but also the seeds, never had problems with any other seeds before.
