Ok, so germination is about the easiest part of growing. I've had near 100% gemination rates with 4 other strains, the only times I lost plants is when they dried out due to stupidity on my part.

But, with lowryder I've been having problems that are quite surprising. 4 seeds planted into peat in 6 inch rockwool cubes with DWC and I've found that they pop up slightly, and then just slow down. One has come up, but its cotyledons are all messed up. One other looks like it MIGHT come up, but I dunno. They've been going for 8 days now. I've never had anything take any longer than 4 days to completely come up and unfold its cotyledons. Anyone know why I'm having this problem? I just used my typical starting method.

I have started some more. To restart, I soaked a couple seeds in a thrive-alive B-1 solution until they sank (about 8 hours) and then put them into a paper towel. I'll see how this works.

"The Student", do you have any input? I feel quite stupid for having these problems. It's frustrating since they're somewhat expensive seeds.
