I purchased seeds (feminized) from uk site at first np sprouting them now that a few well several months have passed 2 of the seeds have gone black upon attempting to sprout them.
I have never had such a time sprouting seeds as these last to and still no tap root just gone black.I stored them the way they arrived didnt change anything they were in a lil plastic ziplock in a cd case behind a cd.They sat alll summer and i just tried to start them fer a mama and nuttin but Black seed.
The first one i thought well it got cold and that may have done it.This one was soaked in ph balanced water and then put in air tight test tube device in dark thought itd be warm enuff but /sigh it got cold.
The second one I went with my tried and true way of a 24 hr soak in ph balanced water and then same water soaking paper towel and the put into a baggie not completely sealed placed under our dvd player and ontop of our cable box . Mmmm stays nice temp there .I thought k tap root in a day(as it has been the case any seed i began that way) /sigh going on week 2 and it has bugun to become black as well.
All seeds prior from same batch were sucess within 48 hrs inc soak.
Were they stored wrong? or to long ?was at least 6 months mainly summer months with an ac running in same room never below 73-75 degrees in room .
I am Stumped and Without any more feminized seeds for a mama. /sigh
