Use water and adjust temps closer to 75. Drop the seeds in the water and plant after they split. Keep trying and track your losses. After you get what you are looking for/or don’t get what you are after contact the customer service through the seed side. I’ve had very few issues with ILGM but I did have a rough patch with blueberry. It’s rare, but it can happen from time to time.

What he said!
When you work with living things you have to expect the unexpected. ILGM will make good on it’s germination guarantee.

Lets give this one more go. Theres not a breeder or seedbank out there that youre not going to have some seeds that dont germinate. Ive purchased or been gifted over 50 breeders beans and all of them have had a few that didnt pop. Try this method.
3 parts water
1 part hydrogen peroxide
Soak in this solution on a germ mat for 24 hours. After 24 hours whether you see a tap or not, plant your seed directly in to the soil about a 1/4 in deep. Place your cups on a germ mat set between 75 and 80. Give it a day or 3 and stuff ahould be popping out of the ground.

Are you saying place a cup of soil with the seed on a heating mat? Or let it soak in a heating mat? Thank you

Both. For germination and young seedlings it’s beneficial.

And seeds should be planted in something like straight coco or comparable seed starting mix. Soils good for cannabis are generally too ‘hot’ for sprouts. A clear dome and VERY sparing on water.

Agree with the above, and not saying you effed up, 99.9% of my fails where me and me only, as far as starting seeds is easy is a non issue for me its after it goes in the grow Medium is where I fail, not the seeds fault.

Could be a big issue in my brain ordering/starting seeds in sub freezing temps, I order late spring for seeds or fall, not just weed seeds but veggie also, winter for ordering seeds here they may set in a steel mail box on a field at 0f with 30 mph winds will not take long to freeze dry, mail runs from 8am to 4 pm depending who has the route. Ok done with my brain go now.

I had 4 BAD Seeds from ILTGM all at once. They replaced a few of them, then said, sorry, we arent going to replace any more, so I stopped buying from them.!! $ 20 a seed is a LOT, when the seeds don’t do anything but ROT.

I have never been denied seed replacement from ILGM, always have been fast and professional.
When I germinate I use a shot glass, fill with water, about 3 drops of peroxide and place it in a dark closet for 2 to 3 days, sometimes it takes a little longer, but 95% of the time 2-3 days is all I need,

What reason did they give for not replacing the seeds? I only wonder because I’ve never had a problem with ILGM after 4 years.
