Super Skunk germination

Im having issues with germination, about 50% successful. I keep my seeds in the refrigerator until needed. I’ve tried the water method, paper towels and finally planting. Nothing works. I know ILGM will replace them but I had the sam issues with Granddaddy purple and super skunk both of which are auto flowers. Can anyone help it’s a little frustrating. I had 100% with super silver haze (feminized). So I’m wondering if it’s autos or how I’m storing them. Thanks for any help

Are you dealing with failed seedings or failure to germinate? If seedlings, what are your watering practices with the seedlings? How much and how often?

@John7 How are your temps when you start the seeds ?
Too cool and they won’t germ.
They like it a bit warmer to get the seed to crack and spit a tail. Generally 75-85 F.
I use my stereo amp to sit the dish on.
Keeps it at 80-82 deg f.
I have a seedling heat mat that works nicely as well.
Just keep a small air gap between the mat and dish to stop overheating the seed.
Just a thought as I was scrolling thru. :wink:

I traded some SS fem with a neighbor and have had only 1 out of 5 sprout. My rate for all other seed types is 90%

Right, warm and wet will typically pop them.
