Kinda freaking out right now figured, this would be a good place to share.
Had 100% germination on the GB BX2 - 15 seeds
Just did same wet paper towel method a few weeks later now on the Lime GB. Its been 24 hours, and none have cracked. Too soon to say with certainty, but its not a good sign so far. Any suggestions?
Temps have been 75-80F.

Thanks for chiming in hammer good advice. The lime gb takes longer. My gb is thin shelled but the lime gb has a sour dubb s2 mom. Thicker shells more sour bubble ish type seed.
The ones I popped took 36 to 48 hours at least. Just be patient. By 72 hours I had roots popping out growing. 48 hours for tails.
Thanks Tony, Im at 48 Hours now and 2/8 are showing the tiny slit of white. So maybe they do take a little bit longer than most. So used to seeing seeds crack within 24 hours.
I don't want to perform surgery on these seeds and file them, or remove shells manually, as I will most likely damage the seedling, and then it's technically my fault, as opposed to the seed simply not being viable. I think this different than 1 or 2 stubborn seeds since all 8 are slow. I bet if I popped the other 4, it would be the same scenario.
Will make another report at the 72 Hour mark, Thanks for input guys.
Sb leaning pheno closest to the cam. Keep thinking I should toss it due to growth rate and yeild, but its some great smoke.
I found one a bit like this in bx3, but I absolutely love it. While it has a few characteristics (darker leaves, slightly shorter stature & denser buds) that differentiate it from glue phenos, it really grows very different from Sour Bubble. I have run most of BOG's lineup, and while they produce A+ smoke, the amount of large leafs generated that block light to lowers is significant. My SB characteristic bx3 has smaller leaves with much longer stems that allow more light and bud stacking versus SB alone, but the bx3 still has buds (max potency with a hint of sour lemon-lime) that IMHO rival and even maybe best what Sour Bubble offers as a head crushing couch-lock indica.
I know that there are stupid good glue-dom phenos from Gorilla Bubble, but in my personal opinion, this pheno is super special, as it basically is a better (vigor and yield) version of Sour Bubble, and I mean that with max respect to BOG, who I consider to be one of the true good guys in this industry. Hats off to Tony for working a truly special line!!!
I too prefer the SB leaners, as I had the glue cut already. My favorite gorilla bubble, and I've grown 40 or so, was one of the "runts" that many talk about culling bc of it's slow growth. It smelled exactly like bazooka bubblegum skunk. I never heard of anyone else getting one like it. She was definitely an outlier with genes that popped up from sour bubble's bubblegum origins.
I'm on my last 3 seeds now. 1F and 2M. Female is 2 weeks in bloom. I have one male that is almost identical to SB with huge thick stalk and short stature that I akes serious coaxing to get good branching and one male that is glue looking. I'm going to try crossing them to some things as well as hitting my GB female to replenish my g-bubbs seed stock. Thanks again Tony!
