Put the seed directly in the final medium and wait 3-4 days mine pop up on the third days always. And till now it's a 100% success rate

Too much water on Jiffy! You should let it moist, and take away excessive water.

I keep my seedlings in water till a half inch tap root appears then I plant them in the soil. Sometimes they can take up to a week or two to germinate. But at your stage I would throw them in some soil and water

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

Where to put taprooted seeds in rooters—near window, or in tent?
I just put my taprooted seeds into rapid rooters. Do I need to place these Rapid Rooters in my coco medium under my grow light, or are they okay near a window until I see the first leaves?

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? It’s not looking too good

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?

Germination struggle
I’m at a stand still in my germ process. The seed popped and showed a taproot, so I put it in my perlite. After a week, no change. I gently removed and put back into germ thinking I didn’t germ long enough. Am I dead in the water?

Thank you all for the feedback. With the next batch I’ll try the 1% hydrogen peroxide for 12-24hrs, but sounds like 7/10 is quite norm! I’ll keep you posted. Thanks again 🙏

Hello. This is my first time trying to grow marijuana. 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. I'm going to wait a bit until it sprouts from this condition. I am worried if there are any problems witHello. This is my first time trying to grow marijuana.
