Troubleshooting Low Rider Seed Germination IssuesUpdated a month ago

Here's what could have caused the issue, and some tips for future seed germination:

1. Seed Age and Viability

  • If the seeds were stored for too long or not kept in optimal conditions, their viability might decrease. Seeds should be stored in a cool, dark, and dry place to maintain germination rates. It’s always best to start seeds as soon as possible after purchasing for the best chances of success.

2. Germination Conditions

  • Water and Temperature: Make sure you provided the seeds with consistent moisture and kept them at the right temperature (around 70-80°F / 21-27°C). Too much water can drown seeds, while too little can dry them out.
  • Light: Seeds should be kept in a dark environment until they sprout. Too much light during germination can inhibit sprouting.

3. Germination Method

  • The paper towel method (placing seeds between damp paper towels and keeping them warm) is a reliable way to germinate. Alternatively, you can use the direct planting method in soil or a starter plug.

4. Seed Quality

  • Although Low Rider is generally reliable, there could have been defective seeds in the batch. If you’re unsure about the seed quality, it’s best to reach out to customer support for assistance with a replacement or refund for the seeds that didn’t sprout.

Next Steps

For your next grow, if you plan to order more seeds, popular options include Northern Lights Auto and Amnesia Haze Auto for strong yields and easy care.
