No hay germinacion tras 48 horas...

Thanks everyone for the comments! @massivetids @Creepy_Steve @Newbie87 @gottagrowsometime @TheUk420Show I indeed put them directly in soil because I've had bad experiences in my past grows germinating autoflowering in 250 ml pots and then moving to the final pot. I feel like I've stunted root growth more than once with the change (I've had dwarf plants at 15 cm on two occasions...) @gottagrowsometime thank you so much for the comment about "scrapping at the soil to see what's going on." That's the first idea I had! But you stopped me just in time! 😀 This is my first grow here (although I planted autoflowering outdoors for 2 previous years) and I've had MANY problems with germination and in the first 2 weeks of the seedlings' life. My grow is on a terrace in a city in eastern Spain with very high temperatures even in May, and I think the thermal stress causes the seedlings to die or NOT develop properly in the first two weeks. @Creepy_Steve thanks for the approximate germination times! The substrate has been prepared in layers (3 layers in total) and after wetting the last layer, I made a hole in the center about 1-2 cm deep, inserted the seed (NOT previously germinated), covered it with a bit of substrate WITHOUT packing it down, and misted it with a spray bottle. Do you think this is a good method for direct germination in pots? Maybe I should have tried germinating between paper towels and then placing it in the final pot, but handling the seeds with the radicle is very stressful for me because I'm afraid of damaging the radicle... So do you recommend that I turn off the lights until the cotyledons start to show? Thanks again for the comments! 😛

2 days is nothing. if buried too deeply might take 5-7 days. 2-5 days most will sprout. 2 being the fastest and less common. again, the depth you bury and how fluffy the substrate is will impact this. If too shallow you have to risk minor surgery to remove shell. It's better to err on the '1 day longer' side of things. at some point you'll rip a cotyledon off or a growth tip while removing a shell no matter how good or careful you are at it. they are severely set back by such things more often than not.

My last seed took 10 days to turn into a sprout, just be patient.

Well, that stuff about them not moving up as cause the light Is on. Hmmm.. they're buried in the dirt. So, they're covered. Not a fan of using bottles. If you didn't pre germ them in GOW or papertowel then, it can take up to 48-72hrs to germ and then another 2 3 days waiting for it to show face. So all in all. If you haven't seen anything by day 5. More than likely you won't. Yet, it can be longer. Doubtful. But can happen. As I take it this is your 1st grow, you're probably scrapping at the soil to see what's going on. "Don't" you'll only get up disturbing them. I know cause that's what I did. It's partly why I like to see a tap root. As it increases the chances of a successful germ, and takes a lot of the wait and guess work out of it. Good Growing

You also should be leaving them in sealed darkness that's how they work they reach up searching for light but if it already has it this can delay the process i do believe just as the same as if you just threw one in soil outside.

Yeah they can take anywhere between 2-5 days buddy some can take longer its just a strange thing if you use too much water it is possible to drown a seed but I'm sure they will be fine best of luck even if they don't germ most breeders will replace duds free of charge so don't worry :D
