germinating

this is my second grow. couple of weeks ago my seeds sprouted then died when i put them in soil (my fault probs).
got some more seeds 3 days ago and started to germinate using paper towel method, after 48 hours they had cracked and showed signs of sprouting then i checked this morning and there was about 2-3 mil sticking out, if that. do some seeds sprout more slowly and would it be ok to plant them just now?

wait them to sprout until they have like 1 or even 2 cm sticking out

plant now. less chance of damaging tap root

i always plant once the seed cracks works for me havnt had one that didnt pop

ive went ahead and planted them. hope it works out.

it will, ya worry wart

Good Luck!

I tried germinating 4 bagseeds as my first grow, first I tried the cup method, which they eventually all sunk in about 2-3 days, but I didn't see a taproot and I don't think the seeds popped. After that, I decided to try the paper towel method, and after about 3 days of that, I still didn't see a root, this morning I decided to plant them anyways and see what happens. I currently have 4 16oz plastic cups filled with Fox Farm Light Warrior and a seed in each, we'll see what happens, I'll give it about two weeks and if nothing happens, I'll try 4 more, I got about 10 bagseeds left. It's hard to be patient haha.

today's generation knows no patience. all instant gratification.

I planted 5 auto-flower feminized seeds in rockwool cubes, but they aren't like the rockwool cubes I have used in the passed. I had heard these were better from my local source -- they are more of a foamy/"crunchy" material, if that makes sense. Either way, I soaked these slightly and placed the seeds inside the hole putting a little big of Happy Frog over the top. The cubes are placed into a humidity dome and after one night of sitting in the dark, they have been inside said dome under a 400w HPS for roughly an hour after some reading that I have done.

I have never sprouted straight from cube, I usually go inside of paper towel, wait for crack, then plant, but I'm going a different route this time. Write back here or please PM me if I have done something wrong that needs to be fixed as I don't want to waste the $60 on these seeds and use bag seeds.
