Dutch Passion - CBG-Force Photoperiod

Died. This was the 2nd seed attempt after the 1st seed didn't germinate. I then attempted a 3rd seed which germinated but the seedling didn't survive longer than a week. I exhausted every variable and can only assume the seeds were bunk. My Royal Medic grew just fine in the same environment and conditions and the 2 that germinated had an issue with the hull staying attached to the seedling and the cotyledons turned sideways.
