Yes, the seedling will be fine, just plant it quickly and don't fiddle with it too much - it's very delicate. The kitchen paper will disintigrate in the soil.

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.

3/6 seeds not coming above groundAfter 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)?Germination. Paper

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?Setup. Seedling

First ever grow/germinationHello my fellow weed lovers 👋🏻.
This is my first ever grow so any help or advice along the way would be greatly appreciated.
I started with 10 Big Yield auto seeds, however 2 didn’t germinate and 1 died not long after sprouting. Is this normal or have I f**ked up somewhere? 😁Germination. Paper
