WORD Lacy..hows things young lady?
Anyhoo,Check you have the seeds somewhere that is consistently warm...around 21-25*C should be fine..
If you're Germing in paper towels, are the towels sufficiently moist?
If they're seeds you have had laying around for a while, where do you store them? if stored incorrectly ,ie too hot, for a while it can make the seeds unviable.
What color are the seeds? if theyre white/pale green they could be immature.
Also bare in mind that some strains seed can take upto a couple of wks to germ, it also depends on how old the seeds are, how much vigor the seed embryos have and the environmental factors that you create.
You could Change the paper towels, use fresh water,add 1 drop of superthrive,and put back in ziploc or whatever...superthrive seems to really help seeds that are a lil 'tarded or slow starters.
And finally, yup, patience,patience and some more patience as Lacy said.
good luck
