Grow advice

I order 5 gg#4 from rocket and only 2 of the 5 germinated now I got the other 3 they replaced today. I was wondering if they are giving me shitty seeds or can you tell a good one from a bad last time they were real dark. Theses ones are small and dark. Just wondering or is this normal. Cause I had some mowie wowie and them seeds were huge with stripes... Anyways thanks everyone

Can't tell by looking that I've found......just gotta try em......maintaining a 80f/26.6c temp is key for good germination.

Scraping.
You can use sand paper - or some people line the inside of a matchbox with sandpaper and put the seed in and give it a shake.

I've never had to do it, but apparently some modern strains have thick shells and its sometimes recommened.

Your seeds are floating on the surface tension, push them under so they sink. This will help soften the shell.

Read up on proper germination. I use wet towels.

Dark/warm is important. Unlike growing it wants darkness.

No fertilizer.

Right on. I keep them in a warm humid room and dark.

Probably don't need to do it.

Just either sow direct to moist (not soaking wet) soil and keep covered with a clear plastic cup.
Try to get your temps about 80f .. and give the top of the soil (under the misty cup) a light spray every day until you see it pop up (about 5-6 days after dropping it)



Edit: (forgot the "or" bit)

...Or .. wet paper towel folded over, dampened, put in a ziplock, in a small dvd sized box, ontop of your sky or tevo or another heat sourece for 2 days and check for tails.
