I have had some cucumber seeds in modules for a week or so now and nothing has popped up yet, i put some more seed into modules again and covered with a plastic bag , but are they generally slow at germinating or am i doing something wrong

[Flump]

I used to have to pot and cover mine in a plastic bag,then pop in the airing cupboard to get them to germinate.

I think you're being a bit too eager. Give them a few more days.

I planted mine on 29th April, and have had them in a heated propagator

First ones germinated in five days, last one is up this morning. Same batch of seed

So yes, don't think you can write them off yet. Just keep them really warm until they are up


(They then go straight into the heated greenhouse as soon as they pop their heads up, as it is now warm enough for them)

my first batch at the beginning of april came to nothing but my last batch germinated in 6 days in my unheated greenhouse

[Yana]

I've sown crystal lemon and Marketmore and they were up in a few days in a heated propagator. Potted them on and now they are in an unheated greenhouse and either covered in fleece or bought back into the house as the weather dictates.

Three varieties of F1 all germinated in 3 days at 25deg C in my airing cupboard.   

The Marketmore took 5 days in the cupboard but like all non F1 seed is more erratic.   One is 2" high because I left it in the dark.     2 have just broken the soil, and 3 others have not shown yet.
