sprouting from seeds....

About a week ago I started germinating 5 different strains, two seeds each. Three of the strains sprouted within 36hrs, the other two didn't. I waited a week for the ones that didn't but tossed them today. It seems weird that 2 out of 3 seeds in two different packets from two different seed banks (very reputable ones at that) didn't germinate while all the rest did.
Any ideas? old seeds?
 
Yeah, I hope its just age...cuz these were right out of the packages_ which were well made_moisture and tamper proof. I went back and looked through my notes and most of the time when I had seeds that didn't germinate they were from the same package. I'm usually always happy with what I get from the seed banks but if you buy 5 seeds for $50 and only 1 or 2 sprout that doesn't make ones day. Maybe they could start putting "batch" dates and "best used by" dates the packaging like dispensaries have to.
 
I totally agree i got my first seeds from an ex outdoor grower that warned me the seeds were at least 3 years old and out of 10 only 3 sprouted. I have seeds in the way from a bank for the first time ever, i hope i don't have the same issue
 
I hope you get good ones too. Over the past few years I've gotten all my seeds from seed banks and for the most part at least 4 out of 5 sprout. If I can swing the $
I always try to get seed packs with 5 seeds, That way I can germinate 3 and have two more left for anther grow.Sometimes it can be hard to get specific strains.
 
ZigZag, write to the store you bought em at, and tell them what happened. I just got a chunk of credit put on my account from SeedSupreme when I wrote and told them that my $18.00 Green Crack was a boy seed.

Agree agree agree!!Don't let them go by just like that,they might even bet on you not saying anything and they just got rid of some old seeds they had in a forgotten case in Returns!Just kidding but really,you should always contact them,most seedbanks and/or resellers are usually very happy to provide as flaming ones status in this market can destroy a seed.co quite fast...All it takes is a couple forums going wide about their loss and herms ;)
 
Talking to a guy that rekt GHQ support for what they were asking in order to assist me!I will not waste my precious pennies on anything below great quality in the overall experience when buying anything online,given how much precious a single seed can be to a grower in terms of medicine,money,experience,happiness or even life in cancer and ms cases (even more i can't name right now

) , we should not let a single seed go by without 100% germination,if they say 99% and you got 3/5 thats 75 they owe ya 25% of product! a deal is a deal and a claim cannot be unclaimed when it comes to seeds and their germination success rate!!

This seed shop online,a spanish one,i asked them what their freebies are and basically i gave them an order with what i was going to order later on consisting of :

3 Six Shooter Fast Buds
3 GG Fast Buds
3 GSC Fast Buds
3 LSD-25 Fast Buds
3 Tangie'matic Fast Buds

and a couple others..I only got offered 3 fastbuds autos freebies which is 50euros for a seed! And that sux,so i told them no thanks and please delete my account as we have no such option as clients,peace.

They replied within 10 minutes saying we could arrange a better deal and i told them i don't like them because they discriminate customers ontop of offering no good deal in freebies! Oh,also in 148euros no free shipping within EU...

Im going back to my previous supplier and im gonna gest 35% discount and 5of their autos freebies and headshop freebies!Im good for free shipping also,all under 160euros!

Takes time and effort,many joints through many nights looking for the average best seed seller you can get!I know it has many breeders and always wil come back in stock within a week or 10 days from emptying a seed! Plus their order coupons on 25% you receive once you sign for the package,never expires!

Did i mention they got their package here in sooner that stated as minimum? 4 working days when minimum is 6!
 
Nartak, please we are begging you, name the seedbanks!!! Who were the cheapies in Spain and who's your main plug in UK??????
 
For my chest's own pressure point i will not name the one that was bad at replying and had low freebies/communication skills!!The one i use is also in spain but has really good reviews and i will have a tell tale for one of their Choco Haze seeds im growing! For eu i would suggest (they ship to us i think but you know,you have it all over there) my "bud-dies" in zamnesia as i have had great contact with their support,nothing crazy about their prices besides being cheaper than ANY uk seller i have found (including the infamous Gorila,Canabisseeds.co.uk etc) and has a good seed bank catalogue! Again,that was my experience only with GHQ Zamnesia and the third Spanish cheapie! Other can claim otherwise and i will be happy to hear that since im not the center of the universe (at least i don't feel the magnitude lol) and im a 4 time seed buyer...

P.S These guys give out freebies of their own breeds in either auto or photo type,you will never get extra seeds from other breeders unless it has been announced from the breeder that he has a special coming up!
 
I have never had this happen before. Am trying some different approaches and will let everyone know how it turns out. Thanks for getting back.
 
OUCH! that IS a bummer! to raise a great looking plant and then find its a male. I though that might have happened on my last grow but thankfully it didn't.
I'll take your suggestion for sure. Will send notice to the seed banks themselves. The folks I got the seeds from here in the US aren't at fault cuz they don't keep seeds more than 6 months. And they sent me a surprise 5 pack of Jack H. so I can't complain too much! Thanks for the suggestion and glad you got a decent response from the vendor.
 
The vendor I get my seeds from is in Oregon. I can get seeds from any seed bank through them and avoid shipping them in from overseas. They also have a good selection of seeds they grow themselves and
are great folks to work with. I'm not sure if it's appropriate to name a specific vendor on this site but I'm willing to if Nebula gives the OK. If you want seeds fast and are on the west coast they are a great and a safe alternative and you can get a ton of varieties from different banks from one vendor shipped at the same time (for the same price as from the suppliers). They also have new varieties not even listed on Leafly. The list of vendors they represent is extensive. Thing is if you see something on their site and want it you better get it then cuz it might not last long.
They don't order more than they think they can sell fairly quickly so nothing sits around very long.
The seeds that they produce themselves are really fresh.
For those of you in the UK....can you just take the train over to Amsterdam for a weekend and get what you want ...or is it difficult to get back home with them?
Or are the seed banks over there under similar restrictions where you can't buy directly in person at a bank and must order online or hope that a dispensary has something you want?
My experience with dispensaries is that the selection of seeds they have is very limited_ if they have them.
Just wondering as we'r'e going to be in the UK this coming Spring...Also if anyone knows if you can use a state issued med card in the UK?
I don't want to risk bringing anything through LHR...
Thanks to all...:~)
 
I bought for the first time from AMS....the first 5...were auto's and 4 out of 5...Popped....It is what it is.....The World Is Not Perfect.....S...T.........Have Fun.....It's Cool.....
 
ya know, I'm glad it happened, because now I have experienced it and I know what to look for and what to-sob-do. This is only my second grow, and I'm in week 4 of flower, and I look at them every day and see what's going on and changing, and I didn't do it in so much detail on the first grow. So I have learned a lot on this grow so far!!! My bud's beginnin to get phat!!!!
 
I have friends in Oregon! Pending Nebulas approval cause that would be awesome if i could make that connection!
