Question What do you think if your seeds don't sink?
permalink

Soaked 6 Champagne seeds for 24 hours in bottled spring water. All 6 remained afloat. I have now planted them in 16 oz cups, and after 36 hours, none have sprouted. I bought these seeds from a reputable seed store in Van.BC. Opinions?

hey man,
i use to do that method too and my seeds didnt ALWAYS sink so dont sweat it.
i dont know if you are aware, but tap,spring, and distilled water all contain chlorene. so i would let your water sit for at least 12 hours to let the chlorene evaporate.

give em like 3-4 more days you should have resluts

it takes a bit longer for seeds to come out of the soil, generally. if you germinate them first (using the paper-towel method for example) you can be sure that they are viable before you lose sight of them by burying them in the soil. but they should emerge. it can take up to 2 weeks in rare instances.
just be patient and you'll be happy in the end.
peace

I have always used the water in a bottle method. Have always had great germination results with the sinkers and the floaters. I think mine may do so well germinating is because i also place the bottle up above my stove...you know the cabinet where the fan goes up through? It tends to stay nice and warm up there from the light from the stove i suppose. But Champagne? The real Champagne? I have had a hard time finding that one...don't know how she is to grow so it might be the strain and just take a little while longer. please keep us updated about it, curious about the strain myself.
