So much for KC Brains Seed Co.....

[xcrispi]

could just be the strain , also alot of other things need to be taken into consideration too . have the seeds crossed any international borders ? i've had friends that have gotten seeds from the same source and gotten 100% germ rate 1 time and 0 the next . i've been told that if border patrol is at all suspicious about a pkg or piece of mail they can either xray it or microwave it for a brief sec. both of which will kill your beans .
peace

I oredered a packet of Northern Lights from KC Brains a couple weeks ago they arrived 3 days ago and have been "germinating" ever since.Either this strain takes longer to germinate than any other I've tried or the seeds were crap to begin with.I was so looking forward to growing the strain that I've heard nothing but good things about ,but it ain't lookin good for that to happen this go 'round. Today I ordered some K-2 seeds from Nirvana Seeds.Hopefully they will work. I'm not sure if all Rating: 5

Ya think maybe 6 days is enough to pass judgement on these seeds? still nothing....

I had my White Rhinos take over 2 weeks to 'pop'. The husks were REALLY tough. And it wasn't environemnt, either; most of my seeds pop in 24-48 hours.

ok we'll see...still nothing

I have officially given up the ghost on these KC Brainless seeds.....if they haven't sprouted yet ,piss on'em. i'm moving on to bigger and better things. this is what i got from some bagseeds that a friend of mine from another state brought me. if it's dirtweed then it'll be the prettiest dirtweed around here anyways...these are 2 weeks and 1 day past breaking the soil surface....i can be happy with this....i hope

It takes between 1 and 7 days to germinate seeds

I've had good luck with :

www.reefermanseeds.com

El Ninois an easy one for indoors, Willams Mango ... love potion #1 is great
but a sativa ( my current fav ) .. too many to list


good luck man

Thanx Ox ,
I've heard good things and bad things about most every seed company for whatever reason. I'm not a professional grower by any means ,and i claim to possess only a basic knowledge of cultivating this most tantalizing herb.But knowing myself, if and when i find a seed company that i like and trust ,i'll stick with them ,but for now ,my friends have been my best source. Thank you for your response....Dee...by the way ...my final attempt at "good" seeds will be an order of K2 seeds that has yet to arrive. Time will tell. Thanks again for the feedback

have used k-c brains before with terrible results,strains were very unstable.but k-2 from nirvana i have only just grew,out of ten seeds ended up with onlt three female!! but three very good females one keept as a mother and flowerd the other two,both gave me a great smoke and massive yields.i would stay away from k-c,but recently have noticed that nirvana strains are becoming more and more unstable,i can recomend paradise seeds never had a problem,high germination rates and above average amount of females,good luck with your k-2great choise :thumbsup:

Thank you Matt for the reply and the good will.You know?? it's weird at just how things work out sometimes.A very dear friend of mine brought me some seeds and the plants whose picture i have posted ( that came from those seeds) have turned out better than i could have ever asked for.What they look like now and what they smoke like later might be two different things but i couldn't have asked for better seeds as far as growth. It'll be a little while before i can give my K2 a shot but i hope if nothing else it grows as vigorously as the ones i have now. we'll see...

sounds like those seeds are hardhusks, whenever i get a load of good seeds, i put half straight into germinate, and the other half in a bowl of warm water, some ppl use tea, soak them for bout ten minutes and put them into germinate, also one thing ive noticed, tissue paper germination is over-rated, its hard to keep the right wetness to it, all i do, is put about a half inch of soil in a little pot put in the seeds, and just put a little more soil on top, get it wet enough, and wrap cling film round it for humidity, poke holes in the film, put it on a heatmat (guess u could use a radiator on low,) and wait, then when you get them out, A. there is no need to risk damaging the roots as you leave the dirt on, and B. it makes it alot easier to plant correctly without causing stress.

you mite want to change your germination method, i used to do all my seeds with paper towels and tissue until i used soil and got much better results, (plus, as soon as the paper dries, the seed dies lol)
