New Grower Low Life seeds not germinating

[kicker308]

Question is about Lowlife seeds, you buy any recently ? I tried back in march, repeat tried them ended up with 10 seeds that wouldn't germinate. Only one even cracked it's shell. Research found Out of Stock on most websites forget what one but they actually posted due to quality issues. I ask this because of the strain sounds like it would really help me with my pains I was really upset not getting a single seed to pop. I ended up getting some G-13 Pineapple Express Auto to replace it.

The Single Seed Centre, no longer sells Lowlife seeds. Due to quality issues.
Just one of many stopped or letting stock run out. Anyways till it's cleared don't buy any Lowlife seeds.

What method did you use to germinate the seeds? More times than not it's usually a grower issue rather than the seeds. If you think there was a problem with the seeds, I would do is go back to the place you bought the seeds from and ask if there indeed was a problem with that batch of seeds. If so, they should make good on them and send you replacements. Low Life seeds are usually very reliable and I've not heard of any issues recently with their products.

Also, your post was off topic in the thread you posted in. That's why it has been moved to it's own thread.

I also had a problem with some lowlife seeds recently. I tried to germ two ak47 x hindu kush along side a few other strains and the lowlifes never popped. Dug them up after 5 days and they were still whole beans with zero movement.
My germ method-
24 hour soak in RO water
Straight into their lifelong homes about a 1/2 inch deep in moist soil.
Shower cap over the top of the pot.
This is the only method I've ever used and these are the only beans that have never popped for me.

Sorry for delay muddy still trying to figure out how to follow posts and all..
I use use PH water zip lock and paper towel. I soak the seeds in a dark cool place for 24hrs making sure they sink. If they develop a tap root during the soak I go ahead and plant. Once soaked they are put in the glad bag with paper towel with about 1 mil of water.

I don't check the seeds but once a day and mist towel if needed.There in my grow room top shelf no lights can get to them. My house is too cold to germ in a drawer or alike so the grow room is my only option..

I do this with bag weed along side in another container to make sure i'm not crazy don't you know . I end up with 99% germ rate easy. Then I have used the plate method with a paper towel. Same results.

I always germ one seed of $$ and atleast 5-10 bag weed seeds. The lowlife seeds did nothing just got dark. I did the file method on the sides to help ease the soaking and cracking still nothing. I ended up taking a seed of lemonskunk and cracking it open since everything was bunk. I ate it when a seed is fresh it will taste fresh. This was almost like biting into a uncooked peanut, had a bitter taste to it. Totally immature.

Sad thing is I ordered some Mi5 before the Lowlife seeds and only one seed germinated from them. It developed two roots systems and ended up growing up out of the ground exposing the second root and killing the seedling. Basically a Mc Donalds arch is what it looked like.. I know pics would of been cool >.>

I got over it Muddy and ordered the lowlife the very next day even before getting my seeds I started to come across site after site of Lowlife out of stock.. I was just checking to see if I got a good $$ on seeds you know.. Turns out several sites to include Attitude have let there stock run out. One site posted due to quality issues we will no longer be selling lowlife seeds..

Now keep in mind I had water from a spring up in the mountain where I live, I just discovered last week there is a outhouse at the top of the spring run off so everything I have been growing,testing has human urine+ in it.. This has all be corrected.. I don't think the water was the issue though since I got such a high germ rate from bag weed.

This time around I got some Nirvana and some G-13 since they are companies the believe in germinating your seeds not storing them for a rainy day. I did everything the same I got a 100% germ rate from this order. Keep in mind I had my seeds replaced by the one bank that doesn't replace seeds.. They sent me some really nice extras to keep me coming back, it worked. I really wanted the lemon auto, any idea?

Here is a post of one site that has stopped selling lowlife due to this issue, Keep in mind this is new news guys.

Dug them up after 5 days and they were still whole beans with zero movement.

IMHO WAYYYYYY too soon to dig up the beans. I've had them take over a week before breaking shell/ground. Also, if you put them directly into soil they have a much greater chance of not germinating due to contamination issues. Not saying it won't work most of the time, just increases the fail chance. You might want to go with a quarter inch as well.

Good luck

I put my grounds in after they sprouted so your still golden

Sounds like you did everything right, so must have been the seeds. Were they all fems? If so, I'm wondering if there was a problem with the femming process. That would be the most likely thing to cause a problem like that. Most people don't go to the lengths you did to verify that the seeds were the problem.

I hear you Piggy but every bean I've ever cracked has shown itself in 48 hours. Granted I've only cracked about 20 in my short time as a grower. I still have three seeds left over so I'll try again at some point but I'm not to worried about it. Thanks for the input though, I will take it in to account when I try to pop them in the future.

a couple seed banks quit selling Lowlife due to problems although I don't know what those problems were.

 

[Mr Piggy]

My first twenty popped in the same time with a super high female ratio. For the life of me I couldn't figure out the problems people talked about....until I had popped a few hundred. Good lord satan, the way things can go wrong will always surprise you. I'm still a believer in the peat puck, humidity dome and seedling heating mat.
