1/17 is pretty bad so what they said ^

One thing that you can try is to carefully remove a small piece of the seed coat at the pointy end, where the taproot usually comes out. Once the actual seed gets in contact with water, it should trigger into germination. I have tried this on some stubborn seeds and it worked.

I used a scalpel to chip off a piece but sandpapering it down works just as well I've heard.

It's worth a shot

they were purchased last august and from the moment I had them were always kept i
n the fridge.....even on the car.....
Actually some seeds put a tail but in the soil didn t make it and one that sprouted after 3 weeks is still 2 cm and all deformed......I never had problems like this before...not even with bagseeds from weed of the worst quality.....
thanks and cheers to all..........

Hi all

well it is very disappointing to hear of such a problem.But when the seeds leave MNS and go to the shops they are all tested by me. When germination is so low I get very suspicious of something happening to the seeds during their storage somewhere along the line prior to being put into the ground.
But like a good seed company we back up our products with help and replacement seeds.If you send me a private message we can deal with this issue so all can be satisfied. I am truly sorry for your wasted effort and will try to help you in the right way.All the best Sb

Go troll somewhere else. I have never had a single problem germinating any of Shanti's wares. They usually pop within 24 hours.

Well I'm not a troll (or a noob) and I've had some problems popping the Mr Nice seeds that I bought a few weeks ago.
Of 10 Shit that were started only 4 popped, but, 2 are fems and look like really nice, strong plants. They are about to be cloned and grown out.
Of the 12 Medi-Man, none have shown any sign of life at all.
I've also got some Spice and Shark Shock that haven't been started yet.

I'm not blaming anyone, as we all know that Shanti can't be held responsible for what happens to the seed packs once they leave his hands.
But I've germinated quite a few seeds in my time and this is the worst rate ever for me.

I soaked mine in distilled water for 24hrs then into cotton balls in a plastic bag at about 25c.
Any hints or tips very welcome...

Thanks
