first time grower!

Don't let your soil dry out like you did paper towel. If your that busy put a plastic bag over the jiffy pot to retain the moisture, kind of like a humidity dome, just remove it once the plant has sprouted. Either that or you could of done the paper towel method and just put the moist paper towel inside a sandwich baggie untill you get your tap roots.

Just as an update, I soaked my seeds for roughly 8 hours (not long enough I'm sure) and dropped them in some soil I'll check it every few days in hopes of a sprout, plus watering.

8 is hours is plenty for a good start, as long as that soil stays moist they will be popping in in a couple days

Just another update, my seeds broke the soil today! Thanks for all of your help guys!

Killer! Glad it worked out for ya. Hope you grow some monsters that make your eyes turn green.

So I have a problem, my first true leaves have came out, and started to spread, and the 2nd set is there, but they seem to be having trouble growing and are a little bit brown. It isn't spreading to the rest of the plant though. I placed it in a bigger pot yesterday, and showed a little new growth and started showing more green again, but can anyone tell me the problem, just from this picture? I was thinking it was possibly a little over watered, plus I had my 300 w Bloomspect LED about a foot above it. I raised the light and put it in a bigger pot, but I'd like to avoid the worry in the future.

Scratch that, better camera. I think that's purple, not brown. Also explains why the stem is purple. Lol.

I'll bet you forgot to place the paper towel, etc. into an air-tight container to germinate.

Good luck, BigSteve.
