Yes, you want it to eventually sink (become saturated and loosen the outer shell). But until then they should float. Normally about 18-24h it takes.

4/5 Seedlings have not sprouted after 1 week
Germinated 5 WW fem photoperiod from crop king and planted into Mo'koko coco coir substrate last week. So far only one has sprouted 2 days ago. The other 4 have no signed of sprouting. Are the seeds dead or did i do something wrong? Should i ask for refund on the 80% guarantee?

seeds were result of a stressed (fem) plant pollinating another feminized plant, of the 16 seeds 2 have sprouted but VERY slowly (they look like most seeds after 24hrs but it's been 3 days) Question: are slow starting seeds indicative of weak genetics/weak plant?. waste of time?

lights during germination/tap root period?
Might be abut of a silly question... but I've just germinated 2 seeds, their tap roots are showing so have planted em.. the question is now do they need light at the moment? Or is that only when they show 1st signs of top growth? Thanks in advance.

I bought a batch of RQS seeds, one seed is a little cracked, are there any chances that it could germinate? It is not cracked that much, only a little bit where the taproot comes out.

How many seeds floated?
I'm curious as to what people's experiences have been when placing their seeds in a cup of spring water as per Crop King Seeds germination policy. How many sunk and how many floated when you first put them in?

I’m first time grower and would like some help on choosing my first seeds. I’m doing an indoor grow, LED lights, Soil Medium, prefer high yielding and high thc, feminised as well. I’m planning on doing LST and using a SCROG to allow a higher yield. Thank you :)

Inside of seed stuck on cotyledon leaves keeping them together
Has anyone ever had the inside of the seed stay on and keep the two cotyledon leaves together? The outer hard shell has come off. I've been spraying it to try and soak it off but it's quite hard. Anyone ever successfully deal with this or will it just pop off on its own?

Any suggestion for fast flowering strains yet THC powerful and not sleepy
For my next session, I will have little time available. With 15 days of vegetation and around 50 days for flowering : SOG and maybe with lst + fim + scrog. What powerful strains would you advise ? Do I have to go autoflowering ?

33% germination rate...Breeder issue?
I got my seeds from the Seedsman and only 3 out of 9 survived. 1. Paper towel method til root appears about a half-inch. 2. Put in pre-soaked RootRiot plug, 3 out of 6 died. PH and watering are fine. 3. Then I tried Rockwool again, 3 died. Do you think this is normal?
