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

Seedling died after not being able to open seed shell.
Anyone have advice on seeds that can’t kick their shells after germination? I wanted to try to help split them open with tweezers but didn’t want to harm the baby seedling inside.

Seed struggling to germinate
This Mango Skunk by Nirvana has been germinating for four days. Should I give it more time or give up? The other 3 seeds (different strains) germinated in the first 3 days without problems.

First ever grow/germination
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 🙏

first grow
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.

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

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
