I am very unhappy with the BB seeds. I’ve always had 100% germination. I use straight Promix. So far I had 5 that would’ve germinate. This screws up my grow. I’m now 8 days behind the ones that took. I had planned on doing 4. At this point now I’m going to have to go with the 3 as my grow room will also be my hanging(drying room). So I’m very disappointed. For one thing I don’t really like having t buy 10 seeds at a time. I can only hope ILGM will take care of this. If not I will not be a return customer. ---

PS if you plan on replacing the Bruce Banner seeds don’t bother. I did even know if I am going to try anymore of them it’s too disappointing. Wait three days in the dirt for nothing. Wasting time, electricity, and soil. ---

So I have a question on this topic, is germination just getting to crack open? I got the auto mix pack all a others had no problem with, soak in water 24-48 hrs all crack and have a tail, or root showing then I place in soil, then 3-4 days I would see a sprout. I dropped 4 bb seeds last Monday in water, all had good tap root showing still have no sprout? Do I just need to wait a few more days. Back to questions is germination just getting a tap root showing ? Or actually having something to come out of ground ? Sorry to still your thread but have similar question/ problem ? Thanks guys ---

Sorry to here this my freind. I grew 1 out of 4 BB my last run. Only one that made it was a straight full hermi. 2 didn’t pop, 2 did but one was stuck in the seed membrane bad and died 😕. I’m under the impression that they are hard to crack and need stable warm environment… I did use the ILGM germination method, but honestly I have way fast and better germination straight it rockwool, pellets, coco in cups, just whatever I got available… and place them in a dome on a digital controlled heat mat… This has worked better then any for me. Good luck my friend, contact ILGM through their customer service as this site is separate in that respect… ---

Ok I soak the seeds in water until they sink to the bottom, I then place in paper towels and keep warm. Let me make this clear all seeds sank to the bottom and they all spouted a tail. Ps I’ve done this many times. The issues is they are not coming up from the soil. That’s why I mentioned using only promix and water. I keep them moist and warm. I did have one that had issues shedding it’s shell and landed up just sitting there not dying but not growing either. I thought I read someone or something about trouble with the BB seeds. I don’t know. I have to keep trying as I promised one. ---

Just bury seeds in fox farm happy frog a half inch deep and keep soil moist and under fluorescent low wattage bulbs and they will pop every time. Its really.not that difficult. ---

Happy to hear they pop up for you, hopefully my girls just need some more time too, fingers crossed @Edgewater21 yeh man I agree this is only my third grow I have had no problems with my first 2 sets all pop, and sprouted in 3-4 day’s. Going on day 5 now and still nothing? So that’s why I was asking for more info. Don’t know why this aren’t growing like the others. It just must be that hard idk ? Happy frog soil on top, any others pointers smart guy ? ---

I had no luck with the BB either. They’re the only seeds I’ve ever had trouble with. I Havnt gotten around to trying the customer service yet. I remember reading about plenty of others that had trouble with them as well ---

kiingkupa, I would give it a few more days. Just keep them warm and moist under fairly low light until they pop. Good luck. To be honest the two I lost was from using a soil the company said it’s good for seed starting;Not! Come to find out it had fertilizer in it and burned( cooked) my little ones. Also once the medium got wet it stays wet. I really try to stay away from any soil with time release fertilizer. Especially with autos. Trust me you do not want that nitrogen at the end of flower; makes buds harsh and the flavor is subpar. people please don’t use this and young plants. Seeds have everything they need for the first 2 weeks of grow, no nutrients needed. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/f/0/5/f05cbcc7e2af33f54383fab714be2fe0358c1296.jpeg) ---

Thank y’all for the support, I do want apologize for post above, after re reading I came out sounding like an A-hole sorry. I need to take y’all advice and mine that have given out will get it some more time. Like said only been 5 days. Seeds are in OFHP, I use a spray bottle and have a clear dome over all 4 pots, with my light set to 15 DLI, using my HLG 300. Temps in tent are 77-81, humidity stays around 70-80 have Humidity Thermometer under my dome, wanted to make sure temps are good. They tell me it’s around 76-80 on temp and stays around 75-85 humidity? I think this are good numbers , but if it’s operator errors which I have a lot its ok, just very confused because had such good success with others, thanks a lot everyone ---

Thank you for responding Stacy, seems a handful of cultivators are having problems getting the Bruce Banner above ground, me as well. Dropped 3 over the last month and have one at 8 days above ground. I’ve had such great success from ILGM seeds that I let it ride 🤟. Thanks again Stacy [Next page](https://ilgmforum.com/t/bruce-banner-seeds/81351.md?page=2)
