I would use garden soil if it were me. Them tap roots are fragile.

When will you get the soil

 

[budulyk]

well just ordered says one day delivery which should be sat seeing as its 4 am friday in uk now if that fails tho im screwed as it will be monday so looking id say 3 to 4 days max so will of been in tissue over a week

 

[budulyk]

see my main concern wasnt so much the garden soil not being too good its more if theres anything thats gonna eat my seeds in it and it contaminating the new soil on transfer lol

I understand completely.

3 n half cm approx one seed looks like its splitting and it starting to look for light other 2 still just look half split

ok so other thought for about 3 pounds i can get a bag of top soil from a supermarket says its steralised reakon that would get these babys through ?

Its your call. I think I would chance the garden soil. I think waiting to long in paper towel is certain death. Maybe someone else can help. May @Bbcchance can offer some assistance

That's a good idea

Next time plan so you have what you need. Before popping them seeds.

my last seeds didnt go so quick but trust me all part of the lurning curve just been reading a thread that says top soil too heavy so maybe some multi purpose compost is better im no soil expert

This trick should make your seeds last several days or keep them damp in the fridge

good luck

76 hours max bro after that they get brown and nasty and most of the stored energy is used up

 

[budulyk]

Not in the fridge though.

The Fridge will chill the growing seed

and send it dormant

ideal: waiting for the delayed soil to arrive

on arrival simply leave it on your bench for 10-30 minutes to warm up

then insert to a prepped solo cup with ample drainage

the 'Moist' fridge trick, works well with cuttings and or scions for grafts

good luck
