Seed not cracking.

I put it in some seedling starter soil I bought. It's just pretty much tiny wood chips. It's winter here in Australia and it's been 3 days and it hasn't cracked yet. Temperature is around 5° - 15° Degrees celciess every day. Should I put it in a wet paper towel in a ziplock bag and put it in my pants to keep it warm until it cracks then put in back in soil? Is it normal for it to take this long to crack in the cold weather?

Seed is auto sin trabajo barneys farm fem.

I like to start mine in a shot glass full of water until it cracks and place directly into soil. That's too cold, should start them inside

Ok I'll keep her in my pants.

That could work.

It's barely been 3 days man give it atleast a week.

Fuck a week , take it to the next level as stated heating pad , paper towel rung out and enclosed container no light. 3-5 days
enjoy as you test and fail or not but learn , document and review.

Do you sleep naked? If so, that X box idea might work.

bro 15C is way chilly for cracking beans. 27C is more like it. Its better to germ them in soil than wet paper.

Patience is impt esp if its cooler.

Ive read about seeds popping through snow!

Just had a look at the seed in the potting mix and it cracked .

WTF? WTF? WTF? and WTF? Whats wrong with the 24hr fool proof germination method, put them in damp paper towel and in 2 plates on a light heater...in your pants lol

Just plant seed in growing medium and forget all other ways - 5-7 day germination (95%+ success)

At the end of the day, warmth helps the seeds sprout faster. Find a heat source.
