One of my seeds will not sprout past the point of breaking surface. They were planted at the same time. Can it possibly be saved?

@Mcgee Hi mate you can attempt to VERY Carefully check whats happening under the surface . A lot of newbies are unaware that the pointed end of the cannabis seed always should be planted facing to the bottom of the container it's going into. This is where the tap root will emerge from and "push" the rest of the seed out of the ground before opening like a hinge and falling off revealing the baby cotyledon leaves

Some seeds just take longer than others, I had one my last grow take about two weeks to get past a couple inches. Just keep providing a good environment and try not to interfere with it directly.

You can do this: put the seed in a glass of warm water up to 3 days until you see the seed opening and the tap root starting to come out. Keeping the water warm will help a lot, so try to put it on a germinating mat or on top of a router or something like that. After it opens plant it in soil.

Hello. Seeds are changing. and the Germination is going to be more Intense as before. Seedshells getting Thicker and more Tricky until they sprout. I recommend to you the Whole programm for your next grow. Start with choosing the seeds. Look at your seeds, is the skin shiny and soft? very good, is the seed solid, thats the way we like it......... Put the seeds into alittle box and shake it very well , ( here small cracks happen in the shell, ) let the seed soak up to 24 hours in lukewarm water ( the seed should sink to the ground in this time) After soaking do the Papertowel method: put the Seed under a very humid // wet papertowel // kitchensponge .. anything to keep it humid and dark. Then after a few days you should see the sed cracking and showing roots. After the roots are around 0,5-1cm.. plant them into pots. If you have automatics give the seed the final pot filled with a fluffy, light fertilized MJ-Soilmix
