I am trying to germinate 5 seeds,
i had them in a glass of water for about 12 hours and then put them in a damp clean cloth (not socking wet just damp), they have been in the cloth for 4 days(only checked them now) and still nothing, they got a bit darker alright,
can anyone help me out thanks, much appreciated
Well DonSmokin,
Everybody has a preference. Mine is a glass of water and time. 12 hours you say? Try 48 to 72 you may be surprised.

i heard they rot after 24 hours in water, is that not right?
yeah, i put mine in water until i see the seed crack, or the end of a root coming out.. ( little white tail )
then drop into your grow medium, root downward..
works pretty good!!
I dunno if they rot in water, but I just put them in some nice well-draining soil and they usually sprout. Just get some nice organic potting soil like Ocean Forest and put the seeds just under the surface in a warm (not hot) place, and make sure the soil stays well watered and very moist.
I recommend putting them in gasoline and lighting yourself on fire. try that!
Thanks all, i will try it out both ways.
(Chronicler we call it petrol over here) ill try that out too, thanks
no problem,,next time watch your uncalled for remarks.
You can do it about a hundred different ways. But I just put them straight into the soil and wait for them to pop up. They always pop up.
I do fertilize the soil with Viagra powder before planting them though.
What I did for germinating my seeds (as recommended by two different seed stores) was put them in a shot glass of room temp distilled water with a bit of paper towel to weigh them down (keep them under water), then put them in a warm dark place (like the cupboard above a hot water heater or fridge). Try not to disturb them for 48 hours. Ours germinated in those two days, with the exception of one, which germinated in 8 days. It's normal for seeds to take that long, or even a couple days longer than that, to germinate. Hope that helps!
ps: our seeds didn't rot...
