at some point they will rot, but that takes ~14 days. That absolutely won't happen the first week. Plant the seeds and forget. it is out of your control at that point. Some things are in our control, some are not. you can affect sprout times with how deeply you bury a seed and how hard you tamp down. You can add a day or more by buring too deeply. If you bury too shallow, the shell might remain firmly attached and that is also not optimal. If systematic about it, you can get familiar with an optimal depth that doesn't impede sprout times too much and ensures the shell is removed by the time it does sprout. Older seeds can sometimes take longer. Maybe a chunk of perlite in the way delays it half a day, lol. if you live in a cold area or the season is cold, a heat mat with a thermostat can help make sprouting times more consistent. I don't even bother soaking the seeds anymore. Since using a heat mat at 76F, vast majority of my seeds sprout within 2.5-3.5 days. Seen some pop out in 2 days. this year i had one straggler take 6 days - it was upside down in the substrate which caused the delay. the taproot was stuck at the top of the soil, dried out and died, but it definitely germinated, lol, and long before that point. Shit happens. Before the heat mat, i'd see 4-5-6 days till sprout more regularly. Now, it's rare. use a dome while they are underground. This will ensure you won't have to re-irrigate that first 5-7 days. remove it when they sprout, of course.

Of all the plants I've grown, the average time is usually 2-3 days for it to "sprout" out of the soil ... This is after a 48 hour soak in a glass of warm water (in the dark). Assuming that part of the tap root had emerged from the seed before you put it in the soil, I wouldn't worry after day 5.

Hello! I don't think you need to be worried. Confirm that you didn't pack the soil on top of the seed too much. And I don't agree with the comment about fully soaking the substrate. You would just be wasting water and inviting unwanted things to grow. Just water around the seed until a couple weeks when your girl has roots.

Give em a week, chill n smoke a j, keep em nice and happy. temps of 20-25c n rh around 40-70 is perfect. Some dimmed lamps if u wish but dont need em till they breach the medium.

It's best to moisten the substrate thoroughly before planting the seed. After that, you should hardly need to water at all until the seedling pops up. If all goes well, it usually takes just one to two days. Be patient, don’t give too much water, always keep the substrate moist but never soaked.

Don’t worry and be happy my friend! It can take some time for them to sprout! But if they don’t come up in 3 days I think there might be some issue. But not yet anywayz

Not yet. if after 3-4 days and nothing then yes. They need to put some roots down first to have a base to work off of.
