Hey, I am very new to growing (1st time) and I think I killed my White Widow seeds. I germed them on june 10th using plain white paper towels, zip lock bag and heating pad. They started to sprot so I put them in pot with organic soil, with little water and under a plant light. 2 days later there were no more sprot. Are they really dead or is there something I can do? These were very high quility seeds. Any ideas? Thanks!
I think my seeds died?

How deep did you plant them man? That might be your problem. You should check if they have sprouted underground and if so just clear the top dirt off and let nature take its course.
Also you might have not given them enough time to sprout yet. Usually it takes around 2 days for my seeds to germ and around another 2 for them to sprout their first set of leaves. And my seeds are just some regs. So your high quality seeds should perform even better. Although this is not a sure-fire thing. All seeds are different.

Oh and which way did you plant the tail? Up or down? Because it's the seeds first root it should be planted going down. Hope this helps you man.

2 days isn't long at all. Give them a few more days, I'm sure they are fine. Mine took ages to sprout.

Oh and the white bit that sprouts out is the root (I think it's called the 'tap root'). It doesn't matter which way around you plant it. Seeds are sensed by gravity, so know which way is up and down. It will some how turn and end up in the right direction so don't fret.

No!!! Don't do that and why would you want to??? Just keep them moist in the pot and hope they take hold. 2 days isn't really that long and it could take a lil while for it to sprout - mine took bloody long enough!
Don't dig about in the pot either. It will upset them.
Just leave them planted in the soil, look after them, keep the soil warm and moist. You'll soon see a lil green sprout above the surface within the next couple of days.

See, mine took a few days to germ and then another 4 days or so just to see that tiny bit of green sprout above the soil. So don't worry about it!!!

Yeah i've heard about growing that way. I just dont understand how the little seeds grow that way though because its their first root and from what i know roots go down not up. Hmm maybe i should toke up and just ponder about how the seedling does it?i planted my germed seeds with the sprout pointing up n 6 outta 7 grew into seedlings.. i found that works too..

Those seeds don't need to be under light to sprout. My strongest plant was a white widow that I germed in darkness and planted it in soil that was in the cupboard. Sometimes the light dries out the soil which needs to be moist. If they are in the dark and hqvnt sprouted in 2 weeks then yea there dead.

I don't think it makes a huge difference which way you plant it but I found this when I was wondering myself.
