answered grow question 5y ago
Ideally you want the taproot to be about 2-3cm long before planting it into the soil (with the root pointing down and the seed up). This paired with proper conditions will ensure fast sprouting! Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)

Itβs fine, do it now, do not continue growing it more because you will risk breaking it

Paper Towel dried up on me
Like an idiot I let the paper towel dry up while I was asleep, I'd say maximum 4/5 hours, as soon as I woke up I checked it and added more water but are my seedlings fucked anyway? They all seem to have opend slightly but yet to show their tap root. Thanks

Should I transfer?
When I get the seeds(OG Kush) should I put it in the ground or first grow it indoors on paper and then transfer it?

My first grow!
HELLO. After checking the main root with the paper towel method, I buried it with tweezers about 8 mm deep in coco medium. Right now I'm using very little fertilizer and just watering with pH adjusted. The light is 30 cm at 25% power.How long will it take for them to sprout?

Is growth normally this slow for seedlings? Any advice appreciated.
These 3 seeds (of 12) germinated March 19-21; I transferred them to coco coir/perlite soil under 40W full-spectrum grow lights I also use for garden vegetable seedlings. Lights are on 16 hours; off 8 hours, and the seedlings have barely grown in the last 10 days. Is this normal?

Overzealous seed!
Anyone else ever have a seed sprout inside a paper towel? It was less than 48 hours (I usually check at 24 but was busy) and she had busted out of her shell. For a while now, Ive been using a paper towel and placing them on a running light for warmth and have had amazing results

Is she a write-off?
Hey guys, my GSC seedling is about a week old. She had some problems getting rid of her seed head, and I managed to fully remove the seed coating and membrane just over 24hrs ago. Is she a write-off? Itβs not looking too good

3/6 seeds not coming above ground
After two weeks of having seen sprouts coming out of all 6 seeds between paper towels, I've only seen 3 come above ground. Should I wait just a bit longer, or carefully clear away the direct and check what's going on? Maybe they're growing upside down (had it once before)?

Any prepping before planting germinated seeds
Is there anything that can be prepped before going in soil? Do the soil need any nutes before being planted? Would solo cups be best or 1 gal pots?
