I started germenating 5 seed 3 days ago. 4 of them sprouted fine, but the other still havn't. How long should i wait, if they dont soon does this mean they're no good?
thanks

for some it can take up to a week... which method do you use? submerging them in demi water or the old towel method?

I have waited up to two weeks on my feminized ones...each one is different..doesn't hurt to wait.

I used the paper towle method... so im ok?
it is a good method if you watch the towels, if you don't and they dry up you are fucked...

i submerge my seeds in water and wait until something happens, if nothing happens with a seed after a week, i take it out and scratch it a bi with a razor blade, then i wait for another 2 weeks since this doesn't cost me anything and may prevent me from trowing out good seeds i paid for:D

Ive been keeping a good eye on them, and making sure there wet. I guess i'll just have to play the waiting game.
thanks all

Without sounding perdantic you dont want them to be too wet either, if you keep them too moist this can cause damping off which could mean your seed might not pop, what you could do is to get a plate and put two wet pieces of paper towel on it, then place your seeds on then some dry paper towel that will soak up the excess of the two wet ones then a plate on top, then put in somewhere dark and room temperature
