pretty variable depending on how seeds were stored, if you do a soak, what temp, etc
Â
14 days is starting to be pretty long, i would give up at 20-30 days.
I think some strains can take longer then others, but more often than not its the individual seeds that take longer/shorter depending on the factors mentioned above.
Â
iv germd a few barrakpores..i forget how long they took..but for me its not uncommon for some seeds to take a month or longer to germ.
Â
I think its the particular seed being difficult not the type of plant
14 days is not long. Some can take 4-5 weeks to germinate, Brown Bhuts usually take that long, for example.
It can also depend on how dry is the seed, too dry and its slower to germinate.
