Seeds won't germenate

So.. I think this is a pretty common problem lol but please help me out. I'm a first time grower and started germinating about 3 days ago. It's supposedly chronic but the guy I got it from is questionable.. He gave me about 30 seeds for 5 bucks. I think he was expecting some free bud that's why he did it so cheap cuz we told him we would. So pretty much the seeds have done nothing. I have around 15 in a wet paper towel (really wet, and it's layered), and then just plopped the rest in some soil lol. I used Miracle Grow soil (it's all they had besides some ghetto target brand stuff) and some tap water as well as that mount olymous water. The water was about room temp. The first two days i had the ones in the wet paper towel just sitting there in the sun behind a window to raise temp. I figured out that was bad and wrapped a black t-shirt around it. They're all currently in my window. Is there any reason they shouldn't have germinated yet? Maybe chronic takes a bit longer to germinate? O yer, I forgot to mention the seeds where somewhat brownish. I think they where just dirty though because no they're nearly black; a really dark brown. Is it the seeds maybe? Or am I just paranoid? If it's the seeds how can I SAFELY buy good ones? Thanks, I know this is a lot at once lol .

You want to put the seeds in a dark place, so the sun probably isnt the best spot. Some seeds do take a while to germiniate though, and if they are, actually all the same strain, then they are all going to take a while.

I would give them another couples days, im sure they will sprout.

Goodluck mate <3

I feel your pain Hank!! I have Mango and Satori (followed the germination "directions" to a T and only had 3 Satori and 2 Mango sprout. WTF!!! I do alot of gardening (not just this) so I am pretty familiar with germination and growing.

I agree, be patient. Chances are theyll all pop around the same time. Keep them in a dark, warm place. I put mine in a paper towel in a plastic bag, and sit it on the radiator (where my heat comes from... old house) and Ive had very good luck with that. Usually the moisture and a decent amount of heat is enough to get it growing.

Give em time.

Thanks everyone . K, I'll just wait a few more days.

i have no problems germing on tissue in 2plates. 25 to 30 celsius is ideal i place my plate on my radiator to get and stay warm

best thing to o is get paper towel wet it put on pare plat then seeds lay wet ten layer and wet then put a bowl over plate in dark place for 5 days to a week make sure in a warm place try putting electric blanket over it i guarentee this will work if it doesnt u were jipped

thanks . I'll be trying that.

Also if you are having a hard time getting the seeds to sprout try scoring them a little. What I do is cut a piece of sand paper to fit inside a box of matches. Then I put the seeds in the box and give them a little shake up. This helps the seeds absorb water so they can sprout. I see you wrote this thread twice so ill post it twice for you.
