There is some slow but steady growth on the first plant. Emphasis on the slow. Because I am not completely sure the first plant will recover to the point of having a normal rate of growth, I did start a second seed (from the same White Kush batch), incorporating the advice I got from here and elsewhere. - Used a smaller starter container (Solo Cup) - Planted into pH'd soilless mix (NOT soil with a pH around 8!) - Used soaking to prep the seed for germination. This time the seed cracked within 24 hours. I am just waiting for the new plant to poke it's head above ground

At what point would you assume a seed will not germinate - I've read most will germinate within 3-5 days - but I'm curious when most people would bite the bullet and start a different seed? (This is not a concern yet - I'm only at 36 hours! I'm just impatient!)

I noticed that your new.. I would highly recomed checking out @b4rns grows, mainly the first 4 weeks and note, how small the pots are, how small the lights are, etc... The pot you have prepared for your seed will not be needed for 5-8 weeks... you will need a solo cup and one gallon container for first 6-8 weeks before you ever get into a 3 gallon... Also, if your growing with a 600w or less I would use soil from the bag, use water, microbes, and maybe a seeet product at the end... This takes way less input than you think it does... "too much" is how you kill them Best of luck to you

@Fun_Growin, Thanks for the pointers! I'll go check out @b4rns. For what it's worth, the first pot for my seedling is a 0.8 gallon, but I wrote it as 3 litres... My brain runs metric by default, sadly. I do have a second DIY smart pot that is 5.5 gallons ready for use as my "final" container. I'm hoping that'll work out. I'll do my best to practice some restraint here - It wouldn't be much of a stretch to say I tend to make things more complicated than they need to be in general. 😆

Hi @Eigholte! If the seed is not popping out after 72h, I take a delicate look into the soil with a Q-tip, this helps in diagnosing the issue. Happy growing! 👊

Yay indeed! It was a bit of a close call: those slightly crispy looking leaves on the bottom are all she had for 5-6 days, but I'm actually really impressed at the recovery, now that her roots aren't being pH'd to death. Thanks for stopping by!
