It's been exactly one month to do the day since I have planted 100 Atropa belladonna seeds in indoor seed trays. Prior to their planting, I cold stratified the seeds using the cold water method - submerging the seeds in cold water in an old pill bottle and placing them in the fridge, replacing their cold water every day for two weeks.

So far, absolutely nothing.

I have been keeping the soil reasonably moist with daily spray bottle usage. The house and soil are about 60-65F°. I have recently moved them to a south facing window at the suggestion of a fellow gardener who suggested they are greedy for light in germination.

I'm not sure what else to do; does anyone have any tips or suggestions? I am aware that they have an extremely slow germination rate but the few accounts I could dig up usually said they saw signs of life after a week or so.

Also, before anyone warns me, though I appreciate the sentiment - I am keenly aware of their toxicity. I am growing them for my small business, am not planning on ingesting them, I have no children, and should they germinate I plan to grow them in a locked greenhouse on a high shelf where my two very tiny dogs can't reach them.
