Salvia recognita appears to like a long germination compared to most plants I've grown , I'm a master gardener and it seems they like about four weeks to a couple months after cold strating . To put it in perspective, one I germinated after sitting it in refrigeration for two weeks , then it germinated In about two and a half weeks , I left it in a low to moderately saturated soil mixture, nothing fancy, just a general potting soil , in a plastic zip lock bag in a midsized cell pack with high humidity inside , you could see the water adhesion on the side of the bag I'm saying . I left this in a sunny window for two and a half weeks, until one sprouted and then moved it to about slightly less evening direct sunlight spot, however , after another month of its growth like this another sprouted much later , so I'm guessing not to throw them out if they don't pop up within 2 to 3 months , remember it's a Turkish perennial , as such it's going to feel fluctuations during the winter to spring period and it will naturally try to fight a break free into spring sprouting because a cold snap could kill it easily . I've had a couple other s sprout over the late summer and fall last year and they all died after a few days due to either slugs eating them , and or what just appeared an unwilling urge to live , use sterile soil, or soil without slugs or other predation insects . I've never seen such fizzle out syndrome In seeds before ,,,, but then i tried a different vendor and they are more vigorous than the deceased others obviously . Definitely need cold strating , good you did that first , good luck . Oh and I didn't use extra heat and I'd wager they don't really need it, just inside temps
I would also like to add....my math may be off some , but by my computation , this recognita would be expected to be ten times less potent than average divinorum leaf per gram if initial numbers were dry grams...still this would be fine with me
