Any one else having trouble or slow germination on it? Just wanna know if it's a slow guy or if I'm doing it wrong. It's in a pot with pri mix moist and at 81° it's one week old now.

They can be a bit slow. A week is too long though. Start a backup.

90 DEGREES WOULD BE BETTER FOR GERMINATION OF AN OLDER SEED.KEEP SOIL A BIT MOIST BUT DO NOT OVER SATURATE SEED STARTER MIX.
SEED MAY HAVE ROTTED? LIKE VINEMAN SAYS " START A BACK UP IF YOU DONT ALREADY HAVE ONE"

That's a tough one Tanner but if you get her up,,, look out!!! Starting my 2009 tonight or tomorrow. Sounds like I should keep her extra warm.
