Aloha everyone, I am hoping someone can share some of their expertise with me in order to solve my situation. This is my first grow ever (well nothing is really growing so...?) and I'm having trouble germinating my seeds.
It's so frustrating because a few years ago I found a bag seed, put it in some wet paper towels, taproot shot out then I put the seed in to some soil I just dug up from outside and a couple days later... a seedling! (Couldn't see that one all the way through though so had to disregard it.)
My situation today - I purchased some Afghan seeds from this site 420seeds.com (anyone else use this site?) before I realized that 420Mag has a sponsor section. (Damn it.) I bought FFOF and perlite, pots, ferts... basically I aint just throwin any old seed in to any old dirt this time - so I figured I would have an even better experience. No sir. One of my seeds arrived crushed and one was beige.
I paper toweled 3 and put them on my router. Two days later seeds look as if they just hit the paper towel. four days later two were beginning to open up. 8 days later (wtf!) they looked exactly the same. so i put them in a glass with a little water at the bottom and take them off my router and put them in the window. Another week goes by and nothing I figured if they werent already dead then two weeks of being in my hands must have surely killed them.
So, I start with 3 more seeds in paper towel and bunch it this time instead of just flap it over. After a week... Nothing.
These are further details to my issue:
-tried scarifying the seeds and putting them back in the towel or glass
-I live in Hawaii, avg temp is 75-80, should I not have put the seeds on the router?
-Possible contamination? Should i bleach my seeds first (my last two) before i try again?
Thanks for any help or suggestions guys.
