Looks like they germed but looks way to wet to me. I would think if they germed something else is going on.

Those are ready to plant and I would put em tap root down at no more than 1/4" deep.

Only way I can describe it is moist not wet... damp I guess. Seeds do much better under just damp conditions while clones can handle a bit more.

Ideal root temps I find to be around 72-74f if you have an IR temp gun set the mat to that. Or air temps of about 80f give thise root temps ime.

ya I added more water these are seeds 9 and 10 Ive tried only #2 worked the rest nothing its been a month plus so I figured I had nothing to loose trying something different so I added water and put them on top of my cable box its warm not hot thats the temp I used digital temp controller with remote probe

The issue is that they ALL reach that point they pop a root and then stall nothing at all weeks later no breaking the soil at all after a month plus I looked the seeds had not grown at all since popping. the GG #4 was an inch tall in two days the girl scout and qu blue a few days every one of the durban save one stalled after they cracked.

Does anyone have experience with the Durban Poison seeds? Im having a really odd problem

I purchased the seeds out east in canada shipped to the door I set about getting them ready and along with the other strains I purchased started them only one Durban poison actually grew the rest popped the root grew a few mm and stopped they never moved any further. Ok I screwed up ? was my thought so I did a few more nothing same deal I contacted the supplier they sent out more I tried them same thing.

I followed the info provided to a t on the second round I tried peat pucks, I tried soilless, I tried paper towel a seed or two in each medium same thing on all of them now ALL my other seeds were 100% in my original method (Im not a noob by any means) now because I tried different mediums and the Durban Poison was the only strain that had issues Im sure it was not me not my screw up, but of course the supplier Im pretty sure wonders as were currently at the point they are offering a 3rd batch I REALLY wanted the durban poison but a 3rd try will put me way past when I should be in the ground

I am dealing with this now! Same damn problem. And I noticed that at the 4 week mark the stunted ones started getting mini yellow spotting

Ask Pushrod Monkey for his seeds he says he's had the same strain for decades inbreds, is what you want.
That said its possible some seeds have a pathogen on the shell, a fungas or mold or virus. They pop but die soon after. I bought some Eliminator for a bud mold problem I had trying to keep it from happening again. I'm going to look into wetting the seeds with it and maybe it will clean them up. Its made from citric acid so pretty safe stuff.

I moved them out of my grow room and planted them outside away from my more beautiful healthy ones

Just heard the last Durban I sent out all popped fast no problem. Fresh seeds is the problem I think most of the time with “stalling” or failure to germinate when sowed directly in medium. I don’t get complaints about germination.
