done
failed!!
none of the 4 seeds popped. 3 were old and 1 new. I think it was more me than the seeds. I did a paper towel method but I think i did it wrong. so I did some research and ill give it another try when I get more seeds. lesson learned!!!

It has happened to me, a few times. You will find the method that works best for you and your grow style.
lookin good!!!
looks like you've got a good setup. Good Luck! What are got planted?
Nice, what size is your grow space?
they all failed to pop. im new with only one grow. so i think I messed up the germination.
4'x4'x80"
I use the paper towel method, usually works every time. put them in a moise paper towel, and put that in a ziploc sandwich bag. I also put it on a cheap adjustable reptile heat pad. Dont want the pad hot, just warm to the touch. Put the bags, in a small box, to keep the seeds dark. And set that on the heat pad. I don't even check them until 3 days later.
I think i oversaturated the paper towels and I closed the zip locks completely so it couldn't breath
I always close the ziplock bags all the way to keep the moisture in. I think I found the reptile matt I use for 6 or 8 bucks on Amazon. It's about 5x10 and has a knob to adjust the temp. The seeds like a warm dark place to sprout. See if the place you got your seeds will replace them. I know Herbies does, But all my seeds from them have popped.
im checking i got mine from North Atlantic Seed Co and they have a 100% guarantee. I sent then an email. I started 2 more a few min ago with the cup of water method. im going tonjust leave them for 24 hours the plant
Good luck
