Germination problem

Plate/wet napkin method. I began attempting to germinate a seed 5-6 days ago. The seed has not yet cracked. I've maintained proper care, moisture, I'm getting a bad feeling. Any tips?

Try this page (below): in your case, the scarification section might be of special interests. Good luck!
 
I couldn't find Nebula's tutorial on using H2O2 to pop stubborn, unpopping seeds in this forum or on her website, so I looked around and learned that according to scientific research, the best solution (pun not intended) is 1%. Note that this research is about germinating seeds in general, not specifically only about 911 emergency care for seeds that haven't popped after a week, so maybe 10% is better then; however, according to the research, 10% may be too toxic for the seeds. Anyhow, I'll try 1% and see how it goes!

I just now got 2 dark devil autos and 1 sweet berry cough auto folded a warm wet paper towel stuck it inside a baggie blew air into it sealed it. Sits in a living room in temps about 70+ f i'll check them tomorrow. Not sure hold old these seeds are they were gifted. It's the method i've used with MJ for 40yrs sure some take longer to crack but never took more than 3days else something wrong with temps or seeds.
 
did you soak them first? paper towel method is great for fresh seeds but if you dont know for sure the best way was to soak them in water for about 16 hours then do the paper towel thing. Older seeds will take longer.

why only one seed? Just growing one at a time due to space?
 
Personally I drop my beans directly into their final pot. Soak the hell out of it, take a clear solo cup and place it over the spot where the bean was dropped. Haven't lost one. Never had a problem with seed germination
 
I soaked 3 seeds, then on to paper plate. Two popped, one didn't. But now it did thanks to the 1% H2O2 solution.
 
SoOrbudgal sorry but that seed didn't make it. Nothing to see. I didn't let the tap root get long enough.
