Seed germination

[mrgroguy]

I bought seeds from a California seed bank. I sprouted them one at a time, because I only nee one plant, the radicals appeared, then stalled, never grew, then died. I incubated between 80 and 86F, kept seeds moist, did everything right as far as I can tell. Could there be something wrong with the seeds? Or is it my fault? I never had a problem with this before.

These sit in a room no warmer than 70f if paper is too wet they rot and too warm they cook inside the shell. This is one of many different methods. They are listed in web site turtorials. Towel just needs moist seeds need humidity with warmth not a hot plate

Honestly I started growing weed with no prior plant knowledge period so of course first off I researched the crap out of germination bought a heat mat hand made a seed germination chamber and failed completely 3-4 times in a row with different methods finally I just got sick of it shoved some seeds in some wet dirt and went back to life every single one of them sprouted and on temperature I’m almost certain that’s high and high is a lot worse than low basically if I remember my research right 70-75 is ideal low temps will slow germination but won’t cause permanent damage however high temperatures can cause weeds version of birth defects
