I germed four Big Bud seeds a few days ago, once all had cracked a little I put them in the rockwool in my DWC under my CFLs. Its been 2 days and they haven't grown at all. Its between 70 and 80 degrees and my pH is about 5.8. the rockwool is moist but not dripping wet. what could be wrong?

did they come out yet
no they haven't. now I'm worried. I think they were too wet. the pots were in the water less than an inch but the cubes seemed super saturated. I took the pots out of the system last night. I checked them today, but nothing was showing. The cubes are still moist, so I'm hopin they'll dry out a little and start growin. I don't know if you can drown seeds for good though, can you? and i really hope i didn't if you can.

you're not suppose to soak the soil if its a seed or seedling... using a spray bottle and spraying the soil a couple times every 12 hours is good for a germinated seed and seedling in its first couple of weeks

dont expect monster plants from seed unless you have a haze heavy strain; and even then... the key to monster plants are big cuttings; and forcefeeding ^.^

they were in rockwool cubes not soil but i didnt water them at all. i dipped the cubes in pHed water and drained them a little before putting the seeds in them, then i put them in the net pots
