Asian Persuasion Regular Seeds - 5

Its not looking good... So I order a five-pack in May, received them in July, and started germination using the paper-towel method on Sept. 4. I also started germinating six other seeds I had gotten from Seedsman (3 Gelato.Og, 3 Bubba Kush. Within 36 hours all six of the seedsman seeds had taproots sprouting and were ready to go into the soil and my tent. The 5-pack containing Asian Persuasion, nothing, not even the faintest bit of shell splitting.... 48-hrs goes by and 3 of the 6 in planted the night before were already emerging from the soil looking healthy and happy. So it was quite disconcerting when an inspection of the moist paper towel containing your Asian Persuasion revealed no signs of life. At that point, I removed them from the paper towel and planted them in the same fashion as the other six and put them in the tent. Well, here we sit nearly a week after the start of germination, and all six of my Seedsman seeds have broken through the surface with no problem and are well on their way to becoming nice healthy seedlings. All five of my Asian Persuasion have yet to breakthrough. I am not optimistic at this point that I will ever see anything come out of those red solo cups considering the success of the six other seeds in comparison. I have done numerous grow and have batted 90% on germination always using the same method. So I wish I could say it was my negligence because I wouldn't have wasted 30 minutes to type this out. I am not a complainer. But unless something changes soon I am afraid to say that my crop will be a little less lush without the inclusion of some Asian Persuasion. I was so looking forward to it also. Jillybean is my favorite strain and grew it without a problem like 2 years ago., There is nothing else to say. now its sold out so I am gonna go and pray. who knows maybe they are just late bloomers.
