WTF, I have ALWAYS had seeds to pop/germ in 24 hours using paper towel method. These sons of a bitches don't EVEN think about popping for nearly a week. I had one to pop in about 24 hours, and the others 7-10 days !!!!! Just FYI to those of you thinking about this strain, BE PATIENT !!!! After the assumed failed attempts, I put them in rockwool and kept in the dome really wet/86F...slowly the little girls ( calling up the gender  ) poke through. I have no idea why I am wasting my time on a plant with one cola, not really that good of smoke and just 4 weeks shy of a "real" grow. Change  maybe. BH

 | I've found lowrider really needs a little help at germing... scuffing or manually cracking the seeds will really improve things

| well I just got five Lowryder #2 fem seeds and one was cracked a little. ALL five popped and showed root after just 16 hours. Sorry dude but maybe it was your germ method?

| me and my brother got some g13 labs poison dwarf seeds that had a terrible time germing..... We only got 1 out of the 10 seeds still alive and the seedling is only about 1/2 an inch tall... it took almost a week just to reach this sidz with the other beans dying off already.... I m not sure if it is the autoflowering strains or what but i am verrrrrry disappointed with the turnout

| You say you "then" put them in rockwool and 86 degrees after the presumed fail attempt. What was your temps on your "failed" attempts?? And what lowryder you using because i also have some LR2's I will be germing soon so I know what to look out for! Good luck on your grow!

ph H20 for 24 hours. Most of the time, beans pop, see white, sometimes even a small root exposed. After they would not pop after 48 hours in H20, I took them out and put in small RW cube, soaked with H20 and put in germ dome and after 5 more days 2 more popped. Total 3 out of 10. I am thinking the others in the cubes never will, but I still try...what do I have to loose now These are LR 1'sbh
