Welcome to the community ! Drop seeds in a cup of water leave for 24 hours then go to the paper towel method folding between wet paper towel, clamshell Between Two saucers should have Sprouts within 2 days. Good luck

Here is a germination guide I wrote up for someone long ago:

Seeds not popping 4 days

I’m not sure what to tell you. I have 100% germination rates. I will try to put my whole soil-based procedure below just in case something pops out at you… Place seed in a glass of room temperature water. The type and pH of the water doesn’t matter at this stage. All that matters is getting some moisture inside the seed. Put in a warm (77-82°F) completely dark room for 24 hours. After 24 hours the seed should have sunk to the bottom. If not, poke it with your finger and it should sink. …

And here is a link to the ILGM germination guide. There are lots of guides available at ILGM, and I encourage you to read them.

I follow the same steps as above posters. Welcome to ILGM.

@kellydans Does the same thing as I do and I have a 100% success germination. Its not complicated at all.

You don’t need to worry about Temps because I have germinated seeds between 69 to 85 degrees with ZERO issues. In total darkness.

I have germinated seeds that way since the 80’s it’s simple and it works.

Germination will work throughout a very wide range, but the optimal temperatures are 77-82°F, and we want to give a beginner good advice so they have the best chances of a good start. People have grown marijuana in Miracle Grow, under blurple lights, in 45°F weather, etc. - but none of those things are optimal.

My optimum temps is 69 degrees. To each their own.
