Pezzo Reviewed by Pezzo on 12-03-2006. Sad situation I put ten recently purchased (from a very reputable store in Amsterdam) Blue Haze seeds in a lukewarm glass of water for a few days until they all sank, and then planted them in nice seed start mix and with a lovely warming pad...and only 4 germinated, and of those 4, one is a runt that I doubt will survive. So I waited a few more days, then I gently exhumed the seeds that weren't coming up- and they looked the same as they did when I planted them! So I plunked them back into the water and put Rating: 5

if you make those seeds they will all be unstable though...

Why would they be unstable?

if i were u id go about a different way of germinating, i use paper towels and a bowl, get a bowl, put like 6 layers of paper towels in the bottom, either fully saturate them with water form the sink or spray them so that they are moist all the way throgh, then put the seeds right on it, put another 6 layers of wet paper towels on the top put em in a cabinet or something where theres no light, look at em like once a day, once the seed has popped and theres about almost an inch out of the seed plant em, thats what i do and it works perfect to start em

the seed in the pill container, pic 2, was sitting in water on a window sill for a month (its a 30/60 seed real good shit, not exactly sure what strain) but yeah it hadnt popped or antyhing i put a wet paper towel in there and it popped open and rooted the next day, so yes i htink old seeds will still be able to germinate in some cases

So I plunked them back into the water and put it in a warm dark place- I guess if they sprout, yippee, and if they don't, I can keep my fingers crossed about the 3 strong babies I have.
This seems like a pretty low ratio of viable seeds- were they bad seeds, or was I a bad mother?
I am sad

You should never soak seeds in water for more than 24 hours...they are water logged.

try using the paper towel method, if it starts to get dry, remoisten. kinda foolproof.
