LOL, this thread reminded me of Twitter and not because of the OP.
Anyway, I too am having a hard time getting my seeds to sprout. They have cracked open but they haven't come up to the surface yet and I dropped them in the Rapid Rooters 8 days ago. My last grow, the seeds sprouted in like 3 days after dropping them in. I didn't do the paper-towel method then so I didn't do it this time. Could it be due to temps being too low? My room has been around 69ºF to 72ºF each day. Anyone have any thoughts?
