Mephisto Genetics any tips to kickstart MG seeds that won't germ in tissue?

[lunarman]

Its been 6 days and I have no tap roots.

I have folded paper towel that I mist spray and keep moist but no soaking.
Put that inside a ziplock bag.
Put the bag between two plates.
Wrapped the plates in towels to insulate.

For heat I first had them on top of a seedling heat mat. Using a laser thermometer to check the temp of plates and the tissue surface and kept it around 80 degrees.

After 5 days of nothing I moved it in to my tent and used the tent heat (no heat mat) and RH for a couple of days and still nothing. Tent temps might have been to low. So I added the heat mat back in.

I sprinkled some mycorrhizae on them today but doubt that will do anything.

Looking for some other ideas before I give up. Maybe move them to solo cups and coco and try and sow them to germ.

You tried soaking in water?

Forgot to mention that. I did at the start, but only for about 6 hours. I was on a tight schedule at that time.

Maybe I should drop them in a shot glass again?

Not looking good. Doubt they will pop. Yes you can just put them in a shot glass of water. Tap water

ok, I'll drop them in water and give them a couple of days. If no tap out, then they get tapped out of the match.

It sounds like they could be duds. What you did at the start with humidity, temperature and length of time sounds the be perfect for them to sprout. Maybe throw them in some moist soil and keep your fingers crossed.

If they are duds, I gotta say in all honesty I don't feel bad at all since MG freebies gave me plenty of surplus/spares in my black friday order.

And I have successfully germinated a couple of seeds from that order already so there shouldn't be any issues related bad conditions during shipping.

You can try soluble aspirin in water, this has a natural rooting hormone and aids in germination rates.

gold glue and heisenberg special

I also have some GH plugs. Maybe I'll drop them in water for 24 hours and then in to the plugs for a day or two. In fact, I will try that.
