after only 2 days in a wet paper towel the seed germinated. i then planted it in a small growing pot with biobizz light mix. after 3 more days the seedling was visible. (unfortunately i only started taking photos in the second week).
@IvyGrows, sure, i could gave it two more weeks, but most of the cola are at the stage i want them to be. i checked the trichomes with a 60x magnifying glass
