To find possible errors, we would need more information about your methods. There can be various reasons. From humidity, to temperature, to the wrong storage location (light), the issue could be anywhere. Sometimes it can also happen that the seeds were damaged during transport or storage (e.g., temperature, etc.). I experienced this with one strain where none of the 6 seeds germinated, despite following the same procedure as usual (except for that strain which had a 100% rate).

Those peat pucks tend to be very acidic... pH test the water you soak them in after it's fully expanded. maybe, soak them twice in 2 with alkaline water? I was never a fan of them. I used some my first grow and didn't have a great sprout rate - 70% or something... Plenty of people use these with high success so it's just a matter of a good process. Direct in substrate is a great option. The plug won't be a different characteristic than the pot you put it into later -- same abosrbancy etc.. maintains proper drying pattern for roots over time. Just need to make sure it's not "hot" soil. A high-nutrient medium will not help a seedling. If you live in a cold climate, a heat mat (with soil-probe thermostat! 76-80F) can improve consistency of sprout times of multiple seeds. To avoid an irrigation while the sprout is still underground, a humidity dome can help delay the 2nd irrigation, but remove it once you get sprouts unless you live in a desert. high water capacity medium - 50% perlite or similar coco - 33% perlite or similar. I am soilless, so i don't have to worry about a 'hot' soil. Promix comes in at 1EC charge give or take.. added vermiculite to get near 50/50 of total volume reduces that further. Use some size-appropriate seedling starter pots. 2-3" etc. Fill, fullysaturate... fluff it up with a toothpick if you watered hard and caused a lot of compaction or perlite floated to top etc. i compress a small hole with finger -- this creates a sturdy base for the seed - can't fall deeper into medium. pointing crown up can help, but even if down should be fine. i make sure they are horizontal for ease. Push in from sides to gently cover.. tamp down, but not hard. moist and dark is all you need. Start at 1/2" depth. Adjust depth based on sprout times, but if you start seeing the seedshell remaining on too often, it's too shallow. ~3 days is a good number. Some will pop up in ~2 days. my region is a bit cold without big lights heating things up, so i use a heating mat at 76F ... my sprout times went from a much wider range of 3-5+ days to ~3 days or less with only a few stragglers taking longer. Didn't really shorten it up, but made it significantly more consistent and smaller range of days. I plant 16 at a time to start but throw out the weak half to improve consistency of results. Avoids genetic defects, slow growers, etc... If anxious.. start with only 1-2 seeds until you get a process you feel comfortable with. Don't fiddle with them... sow them, and look at them but don't touch and fuck around with them, lol. Before they break ground, make sure it stays moist. This is why i use a dome before sprouting... i don't want to have to irrigate before they have sprouted. then you know the tap root has driven down and you can safely engage in more othrodox irrigation. Never spritz, always fully saturate (10% runoff, if in soilless medium). Be patient.. may take 7-8-9 days to sprout for various reasons. When you get up near 14 days, probably rotted in the medium, but don't give up before then and definitely don't go digging around... again, don't fuck with it.. leave it alone. People's OCD is as much of a problem as anything, lol.

Greetings! I actually suspect, just like the others have described, that it could be due to a lack of air/oxygen. I wholeheartedly recommend trying the cotton pad method. You'll need a deep plate, two cotton pads, a spray bottle, distilled water, and plastic wrap. 1. Take two cotton pads. 2. Place the seed on one cotton pad. 3. Spray the cotton pad and the seed with distilled water. 4. Place the other cotton pad on top and spray it as well until both are moist (not wet). 5. Put the cotton pads in the plate. 6. Cover the plate with plastic wrap so it's airtight. 7. Poke a few holes in the wrap (toothpick, 5 to 6 holes). Place the plate in a warm spot: 21 to 24 degrees (not directly on the heater as it's too warm and too dry). Check the moisture of the pads daily. If necessary, moisten again... The germination process usually takes only 2 to 4 days. After that, carefully place the seeds with the long root down into the soil... 👍 It's always worked for me so far.

Ok so there’s a few reasons for this 1 what water are you using. I’d suggest distilled water as its neutral ph and and 0 ppm 2 how old are your seeds and are they quality 3 have you touched ur seeds with your bare hands 4 how long are you soaking your seeds for. I wait 8 hours tap them with a butter knife or some kind of pokey thing so they sink to the bottom. I soak them 20-24 hours 5Maybe switch to peat pots and seed starter soil fixed with mycorrhiza which helps with seed germination. I understand you wanting to use peat pods as they’re easy on tranplanting. But there’s nothing really in those pods as far as I know regarding microbes for germination. People HATE peat pots say the roots don’t grow through them. We’ll check out my last 4-5 diaries all with 3 inch peat pots and fox farm seed starter soil. Amazing buds and overall plants

Hey, so I actually have the best results with the Paper Towel method, 100% no failures so far, and that's almost impossible... I can recommend this to everyone; you can really skip everything else... Take a paper towel or toilet paper, place it in a plastic container with a lid, spray it with water so it's damp but not sitting in water, and put the lid on in a warm spot. Check it briefly every day to make sure the towels are damp enough and always drain any excess water... Keep it in the dark in a warm place. Heat makes seeds germinate much faster because enzymatic activity is increased. I can only warn you if the seed itself already has a genetic defect.

Have patience and don,t touch it Sometimes it could take 1-2 weeks to germinate... I,m also patiencly wait for my 9 years old seed
