You possibly have a nutrient deficiency or "nute lockout" in ganja terms. Try checking your ph & ppm. You may also want to leach or purge the system as well.:hump:

or you may have put the seed in upside down which takes a lot of energy to try and grow out the bottem and then up to the surface. dig away some of the soil and see if you find the tip trying to surface.

ok i checked dat shit and it didnt even grow at all, i dug the seed out and all it was was a single root comming out the seed, same way i found it after germination. its that probably because of the soil? im using some vegatable soil i found in my backyard, or is it because not enough water?

It's just a dud seed is all. Try germinating in a wet paper towel. Then put the paper towel in a bag while its still moist. Put this bag in a warm and dark place. For maximum results, hide this bag in your ass.

yea i put it in a paper towel and a root poped out from the bottom but didnt grow since then, so even if u germinated the seed it can still be bad and not sprout?

How far down did you put it into the soil? And was the tap root pointed down?

Yes the soil needs to be moist and you put it wayyy to deep. Only needs to be like 1/4 in down. Like the length of the metal part on a pencil (the eraser holding part).

I germinated 12 seeds thinking they weren't going to grow because I was told that I stored them wrong. I had them in a plastic bag in a drawer for 3 or 4 years. Of those 12 only 8 sprouted. You need to make sure they are pointing the correct direction and should not be more than 1/2 inch deep and yes keep the soil moist. It took several days to see the sprouts emerg from the soil. I kept mine in a mylar lined plastic tote with a florecent grow light on 24/7 and they did great. It was the ph levels that reked havoc on my plants and I'm trying to correct that right now. These are tough plants that grow in hostil environments in the wild but human mistakes can kill them pretty quickly. Good luck!
