Sprouting question

Hey,

Last saturday I planted 3 cannabis seeds and put them under a Jiffy 140298 Hydro grow Light, I planted them only knuckle deep in damp soil and have kept it moist ever since. The one sprouted up right after the 4 day mark. Note: They weren't pre-germinated.

The other 2 after 7 days and a few hours have yet to sprout despite being planted under the came conditions/methods. Should I be worried they won't sprout or should I just be patient and wait it out? Is there anything I can try? At what point should I assume they are just dead and wont grow?

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

All you can do is give them a few more days, if no action you have your answer.

Thanks. I'll wait it out then, I hope they sprout.

Is it common for a seed in the batch to sprout alot sooner than others?

Even though they are the same seeds, doesn’t mean they are all the same phenotypes. Each seed has its subtle differences.

Pull them and try paper towel before trash

A warm environment also helps with germination

I put it on top of my grow tent

It's nice and warm where they are, large window right near it and that area usually gets 6-8 hours sunlight a day. Heat register is nearby aswell.

Knuckle deep is too deep. The seed should be about 1/4 to 1/2" under surface. I would take a pair of tweezers and pull back the soil until I found the seed and see whats up? I plant in soil and they are always up in 2 to 5 days.

Thanks for the advice.

I pulled the soil back very gently with tweezers.

The one seed sunk too deep and was definitely dead.
The other has a quite healthy tap root so I loosened the soil some more and planted it 1/4" deep, hopefully that one sprouts now.

I planted a few more using the advice you all gave. Thanks again!
