About 15% of seeds have not germinated after 6 days - What can I do?

[Tilopa]

It has been 6 days of germination, about 85% have sprouted, most by the third day. I'm germinating in Rapid Rooters, and the ones that have not germinated I've open the rooters to see inside and the seeds have not even cracked open yet. Should I take them out and soak them in water? Or is there anything I can do to move them along, or are they just duds?

keep them warm,moist and no peeking for another week, thats about all you can do, warm being 20-25 degrees C,i cant think of anything else,good luck! ...85% not bad

Yes there are seemingly always some that just will not grow, I use 10% for rule of thumb. You may also have a couple that just do not grow after germinating just no spirit. Part of the process, if you plan on this you will not be disturbed as you go on, as YOU planned for it.
