I’ll keep updating. Just did a float test with another seed also. And I have not given up for those that I have been waiting 72 hours for either!

Give them at least 24 hours to sink, it takes that long most of the times. They all float until they soak up enough water, some guys will actually scratch up the outside of the seed on a match strike plate or something similar just to get that water in a little quicker I've never needed to do that.

Ok so if float test is pointless really, may aswell just attempt to germinate them all haha. How long should I leave them before I give up on them? The first three I’ve been waiting since they arrived on Monday so actually it has been more than 72 hours
Make sure they are plenty warm enough, that's what really is one of the major factors on how long it takes. I used to put my seeds using the paper towel method on top of one of my t5 lights they always came up quick that way.
In general a 24-hour soak in a glass will deactivate the enzymes that keep the seed from sprouting and then if you go into paper towel it should be one or four (ish) days. I usually soak for 24 to 48 hours depending on my memory and then I go directly into my final medium planting a little bit deeper than most and I expect to see mine in three four days but they can take sometimes five or six. If they can't make it up after that point I usually just bin them.

Someone here posted that 28 deg C is The Perfect temperature for germinating seeds. So about 80's F for yous across the pond.
I have had better success since I kept the seeds in the high 20's C when I do try to germinate them.
Good luck!

I honestly never had a problem the one time I did this before. Got 4 Auto seeds and every single one of them sprouted within 48 hours.
This time I’m going feminised only and put my trust in the vault. Anyway with buying 9 seeds i expected 4 To work but I will be happy with just 3. I’m slightly concerned that I won’t get any, I base this concern on the first 3 taking so long, as I chose the best lookkng seeds. So I am not feeling too hopeful and wasting £50 is a lot of cash to lose at the moment. I will ask them to replace them if they don’t work however if I have to buy more I will be going elsewhere so any advice appreciated
I should add that the seeds arrived sealed in paper packets, The free one was in a card packet with plastic bubble.
I am wondering how old these packets are, if they have been sitting around for long.
Could just be paranoid but I have got major doubts about this and the time it’s taking ??
It looks like they we’re just late!
I wish I hadn’t been so impatient now, if the others all sprout then I’m gonna have too many! ??
Well too many, or too much is always better than a failed grow.
