Maybe not,its a bit long but still poss.You didn't plant it too deep like a lot of people do did you.It only needs to be the depth of the seeds,a few mm.

Auto flowering and Soil Type
What is the best soil to use when growing auto flowers? Should the soil be airy or more compact? How does this affect germination and seedling stages of growth?

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)?

Did I need to size up to larger rockwool cubes?
Geminated seeds in 1x1x1 rockwool cubes. End state is to be in 5 gallon buckets with 8" net pot and clay pebbles. I figured the roots are too small to reach all the way into water solution still so put small cubes into 4x4x4 rockwool. Did I need to use larger cubes?

Seedling stretching: genetics or lack of light
Do some genetics stretch more than others as seedlings or is it always a case of not enough light? Pictures are 20 hours apart

How long to wait before giving up on germination?
Still waiting for germination. A part of me worries that I buried the seeds a bit too deep (ended up probably closer to 3/4"-1" deep). However I know these things can take time so trying to be patient. What is the longest you would wait for a seed to sprout before giving up?

Heat mat during germination
Does anyone use a heat mat when germinating autos? Is it possible for the heat mat to overheat the taproot as it pops out of the husk and into the paper towel? this may have been the case with my second seed. Thanks

Germination is taking longer than usual even if seeds sprouts
I used the paper towel method and put the seeds in the soil when the white root were longer than 1cm under a plastic bottle for humidity, even if the white root is out the green part is not growing in 3 different seeds. I waited for 2 days now, do I have to worry?

Germinated seeds not sprouted yet
I germinated 6 seeds that all after 4 days had cracked open and showed small tails. They were put in small pots with soil + perlite, soaked in ph 7 water. It’s been 6 days now since they went into soil and none have spouted. Wait more or disturb the soil to inspect the seeds?

1 seed...2 seedlings came out. What's next?
I recently germinated a seed that produced two seedling instead of one. A day after the first one came up a second seedling came out. What do you experienced growers do in a situation like this?

Seedling white tips?
Plz help! Seedlings are 5 days old under 26C daytime and 22C nighttime. One of them have white tips and I have never seen this before. Soil is Canna Terra Professional and I am not sure if this is overwatering or nutesburn. Soil is not drying up it stays wet for over 1 week now.

Do we need intermediate Transplants?
When planting seeds directly to soil, Is it necessary to re-pot them into medium-sized containers... or does it make any sense to go directly to larger, final pot?
