My seeds cannot survive. I need help seriously!

[vincenoir]

Hello folks! I really messed up at germination stage in last weeks. Im trying to make it start inside a wet paper towel in a warm dark place. But somehow some of them never germinating or germinating very little and not coming out after I put it the soil:// I lost about 10 seeds and I have to germinate rest of those.

Some of them germinated and growing well, room conditions are good. What can be the problem? Should I try any other method ?

The best way I've found out. Me personally from my environment around me, I put them directly in the pot and water them and put a humidity dome on that comes off as soon as I see it at all. In my tent.
that werks better for me (like 100%) than anything I tried,
soaking in water or
Paper towel or
Idk,
But putting them straight to dirt has helped me all the way.
Good luck fella

what condition are the seeds in

are they mature seeds and how old are they

you can try lots of different ways but if they seeds are not good to start then its hit or miss on if they sprout

good seeds make for good grows. bad seeds make for male plants and a big waste of time money and disappointment

if you are buying your seeds and they keep not sprouting complain to the seller or buy from someone else or if they come from a mate tell him to get better stuff

your paper towel could be two wet or getting to hot or too cold that isnt good . you'll need steady temps with out big swings

I have always used the paper towel method for weed seeds. But during winter they HAVE to have a warm humid sprouting climate. Put them in a sandwich baggie seal it up with some air blown in puff it up, place it on a warm service not hot so it creates warm humid in baggie. 3 days max on germination for me, else i start a new seed.

thanks for you opinions. I tried to change conditions every time i tried.seeds are not too old. i bought them one month ago but maybe they're already too old when i bought. some of them looks very tiny but not sure is it about strain.

That's a bummer. Time to try something new. I like the starter cubes.

My last batch went into water until they sank, over night. Then to their final home, 10 out of 10 sprouted under full on 2000 watt rated LED! Temp is 72*F RH 45-55.
I have used the PT method and sat them in the sunshine, not in the dark. The dark may be your issue.

I drop my beans directly into the soil and have no issues with germination. 77°F, 55% RH
