I started two last year-both took 5 days for the root to crack the shell. Most seeds I try take from 17 hrs to 48-so its a slow to sprout.

In the ground? How many days has it been?

3 of them are in 20l bags, the other one will get such bags today or tomorrow.

Germination takes 48 60 hours

My experience has been that "Snowball" seeds do take longer to germinate than other seeds. It seems that 5-7 days is typical from growers that have contacted me.

Interesting note is that the actual seedlings/plants seem to have average vigor so it is just a germination delay.

Lastly, I had one seed from "Snowball" last year that took 12 days to just produce a radicle so it can try your patience. With some growers set-ups it can be hard to keep conditions consistent for this period of time, especially moisture.

Best of luck!

I believe this trait comes from the mother of the 220, the 2009 Wallace. The 2009 seems to be a bit of a slower starting seed. but once its up, Watch out cause its on...

I opened up one of the 220 Debacco seeds today. The endosperm only fills 75% of the seed cavity which leads me to believe there are lower concentrations of initiation enzymes/hormones, as they didn't have time to develop before the seeds were harvested.
