  1. hi all just got my order from attitude and as usual everything came promptly.
  2. bought some strawberry diesel from holysmoke seeds, arjans ultra haze,moby dick(greenhouse)green house sativa mix, emerald triangle cherry og and cali wildfire and some new york power diesel from nirvana.
  3. let me add im a bean collector and have several different strains in my room all from SEED, i will list all the strains im testing later but its alot!bongsmilie
I always soak all seeds for 24hrs then place them in moist paper towel in a dark warm place(79-82f) in a tupperwear. I found this technique of germination works best for me. Anyways had a few germ problem with the strawberry diesel, i tried to germ 3 of the 6 purchased and its been 5 day in the papertowel and NOTHING! i read bad reviews on the germ rates but was waiting for it to come back in stock, so i foolishly ignored the reviews.
the moby dick had some a 50% germ rate which i found peculiar because greenhouse seeds always are very reliable. but from seeds i have purchased from attitude the Nirvana seeds were so vigorous and got 100% germ rate! go figure the cheapest ones are the best! so we will see what the tude will do or holy smoke will do for me because i dont want to germ the 3 remaining duds i mean seeds.

First of all I don't EVER order from attitude (yuck)!!!!! Secondly, I got 100% germination with the SBD, so it's not the company. Hint.....Try Herbie's, if you want to see how a real seed bank operate's. Sorry about the "hate", but I'm just sick of everyone getting burnt by attitude.

I don't give a rats ass if you like Attitude or not, but I don't see a lot of growers getting "burnt" by Attitude, if they were I don't think they would be as hugely popular as they are, be that as it may...

I will say, my S.D, Sagamartha, popped right up and is very, very happy. And so am I :-P

Now abit of advise, I don't jack around with paper towels and tupperware. I plant the seed in the pot it's going to grow in, water it, place a clear glass over the seed and wait a few days. Three for three = 100% so far. :peace:

attitude is incredible, stop being a hater, i just ordered 20 seeds, and 19 sprouted and are going strong, it's the breeder or the OP who has the problem.

you know it ,, if it dont go your way you complain without thinkin you could be at fault ..Often depending on the lattitude of the genetics and they cant all be germinated in the same way (ie) somewhere that recieves a lot of rain or monsoon areas , these seeds genetic traits determine that they will not pop on first wetting as they would drown in the first rains of the season,, thus only on the second or third round of wetting that they open! they are not dead seeds cause they dont open just awaiting the right conditions.. Anyone who leaves seeds wet for 5 days and says they dont germinate will do well to adjust these conditions allowing the enviroment to dry out some before wettin again...

i think thats a pretty uneducated comment. seems like lots of people order from attitude on this site and do so very happily. im pretty sure they are just the shippers so if anyone you can blame holy smoke's beans and try to contact attitude saying they were shipped damaged.
strawberry diesel has always been a trickier germer for me anyway despite the breeder brand. unfortunately i have to say if its been three days in a germ method and nothing has happened, you prob have to scrap those. did u try scratching at seed shell? sometimes the shells are extremely thick!

Its the growers conditions and i guess general lack of knowledge if thats your germ rate u need to vary your technique not blame a company whos breeders have spent ages months sometimes years getn a strain right,, not the beans which are the problem..

What I don't like about Nirvana is that they encourage you to write reviews on their seeds but if you write a negative review, they will not post it. I germinated 3 AK-48 and only 1 popped.

With Attitude seeds, I bought some autoflowers that never germinated and Attitude would not send me any new seeds and claimed that their seeds are for novelty and souvenir purposes and wouldn't send me new seeds.

How many times are ppl gonna ask attitide to replace there seeds cuz they didn't germ.

First of all, 99% of the time its user error. I've never had a whole pack not germ. I've never had more than 1 seed in a pack not germ. There seeds, unless they are premature then they are genetically programed to grow. A whole pack doesn't go bad unless they were sterilized or drowned.

Second of all, you should really read all of attitudes disclaimers before you order from them. If you even mention germination they legally can not even talk to you.

this thread is officially debunked. I planted 7 holy smoke strawberry diesel seeds 4 days ago. (6 pack + 1 freebie). All 7 have germed and are now above soil.

Well I bought 1 holy smoke straw diesel seed(fem) from herbie and it germinated and is growing. Check out the grow in my sig!

used coffee filter method for 24 hours then dropped it into moist rockwool. cracked within a few hours after putting it into rockwool cube.

It's taken 4 days germing some of Holy Smokes Seeds seeds and only now has one of them just barely cracked, I think they may just need more time to pop open than a lot of other strains..? I guess only time will tell but I'd hate to think the HSS will take my germ rate down from 100%...

Got 1 healthy one going but, had about a 50% germ rate, out of 4 seeds. I see the strain is now out of stock everywhere.

Take a pill bottle. Line the inside with a piece of fine sandpaper, with the rough side facing inside the bottle. Put your seed/seeds inside the pill bottle, cap it. Shake it around a little (gently) so the seeds scuff abit. Put it back in a MOIST napkin (not real wet) and give it 24 hours. Make sure your temps are upwards of 80. If you have a heat pad or something that will work.

Interesting, may have to try that technique sometime. What i notice occasionally are dud seeds. They crack and sprout but die .
