    How old are the seeds, where and how have they been stored? All these things are factors.

    I recently popped two Bomb seeds in and both were up and sprouted after 24 hours, the seeds where bought more than two years ago. I don't even soak my seeds, I just put them in small pots of moist compost and keep them warm.

    When did you harvest the seeds you have created? We’re they ripe? What method was used to produce them? We’re they dried and cured?

    Try a little sanding on both sides of the seed, before trying to germ.
