My weed doesn’t grow

I bought some CBD weed seeds (because THC is illegal in my country) and I followed guides that I found on some pages and videos on YouTube. I put them in a moist cloth to let them germinate, after two days they had germinated, and I put them in soil. One of them grew up a few centimetres, but now, after ten days, they haven’t grown much, and both seem they are dying. I watered them enough and I think that the temperature was always between 20 and 26 degrees Celsius. What am I doing wrong? Is the soil to rough or is it something else that I’m doing fundamentally wrong?

Likely too much water. Usually the culprit with new seedlings. You'll get better answers with pics

Inside or outside? Light too close? Too many variables

Seedlings are finicky. They are very fast to go from healthy to dead. If you get past the weak stage they can take all kinds of mistakes.
Sometimes they just dont look great for a week or so... growing pains usually from over or under watering because they have a tiny root system

I have no light for now. I grow it inside but they have sunlight during the day.
The image was taken 10 days after I started with the seeds and now I think that it’s dead because it bent and now it hangs down.

If you want that thing to have any chance
You need to brace it up and get a grow light ASAP
Otherwise
Try again

Its stretching in search of light thats why its so tall and lanky. You will need to get at least some cfls or t5 to start seeds and a bigger light for veg and flowering.

bury the majority of that stem and put it under a 36w cfl and give it a few days. That thing still has a pulse don't give up on it.

THC is illegal in my country too.

no THC in seeds hence they can’t stop the sale of seeds.

me whats the point in growing CBD if you really wanted THC.

Your plant is light deprived

it’s getting tall and lanky Because it’s not getting enough light.

it’s bending over because the stem can’t support the leaves because it’s not getting enough light.

you could stake it up.

Also, try and make it a more aerated soil so it's harder to over water and water log the soil. We normally use perlite to mix the soil with

The plants absolutely love Fox Farm Trio and Monterey Fish and Guano. Use rainwater or distilled water. Mix the solution in a bucket of rainwater and pour into plastic bottles and water with a spout that you can get on Amazon that screws on. They will love it. Oh and don't use any fancy grow medium. Good potting soil, bagged or real compost and perlite is perfect to get them started. You can transplant to whatever you plan to use later after the seedlings have gained their footing.

If this helps, seedling stage is better for beginners to water from a spray bottle. Few squirts few days times daily.

Yep, water from the bottom mostly and only water from the top 1-3 times a week, and only enough to get to the roots near the upper middle of the plant but not enough to drain out the bottom. They will suck up the water they need from the bottom. This has worked for 7 plants so far and no problems yet. And use fish and guano and rainwater, if possible. The greener and algaed the water, the better. They love dirty, smelly, fishy water. Remember, they're a weed/herb and they are used to proliferating all by themselves under harsh conditions. Over babying could be the problem as well.
