why did you pull them out of the medium? why didn't you just leave them for a few more days?

after germinating are you careful when moving them into the medium.. NOT touching or knocking the tap root as this can damage and stunt it..
from seed to seedling is the first and easiest step of this process.. maybe do some more reading..

pulling a seedling out of its medium at day 8 is slightly disruptive... to say the least...

maybe someone else has an idea... but without knowing PRECISELY what you are doing every step of the way its tough to say what you doing wrong.. everything you've said so far sounds normal...

I pulled them out to photo them to show you the (lack of) development, then binned them. I've left some in for longer than this before and I've found that they just don't develop beyond this stage, they never develop proper leaves, as they've got no roots I guess.

For germinating I just put the seeds in between a few layers of wet kitchen towel in a small dish covered with cling film then put it in the airing cupboard under some towels so it's dark and warm. I wash the dish out with boiling water before use to ensure it's sterile. I always anti-bac my hands before touching anything. The seeds pop in 24 to 48 hrs and I've been potting them up as soon as the root shows, some times just a couple of mm some times longer like 1cm. I wash the pots before use and rinse with plenty of clean water. I keep the bags of moss peat, vermiculite and perlite sealed so no beasties get in. I've been putting the seeds about 1cm down in the medium, covering them over, watering them in then waiting. Some just make it to the surface in 6 to 7 days, some never make it. Those that do make it never develop proper leaves. All of them just have a short stem and no proper roots like it the photo, then I give up and bin them.
From reading journals and stuff on here I thought they usually break the surface two or three days after potting and have one or two sets of leaves a week later, at that time mine are like in the photo - something seriously wrong?
 
You pulled out what appear to be healhty seedlings and binned them because they weren't going anywhere???? Seedlings take a good while to actually look like seedling, mine often take a week odd before they resemble a cannabis seedling, leaves like 1mm big etc. That white thing is the root, and looked to be healthy. I've a dark star seedling that took 2 weeks to break the surface, patience man!

dark star from th? heard lots of hermi talk bout that strain ttt.
 
I've heard a lot of hermie stories with regard to a hell of a lot of their gear. I generally refuse to plant any fem seeds i get as freebies from the tude, and this time around flat refused to go near the fem TH freebies. Can't wait for my next envelope, not gonna have a need to buy any seeds for a long long time, seems i'll have some lovely jubbly bits and pieces to play with, just bred my own cheese strain but a few days before spluffing got a handful of cheese crosses through the post :D

I'm rocking out on doctor pepper for breakfast :) or brunch or whatever, sorting my hangover right out.
 
i germed in horseshit this time round n they were4 cm high in 3 days,germing is the easiest bit surely? i dont bother with fukall but damp soil or rockwool n a little shaded light.

cant go wron with a bit o patience.

im swapping a blade for 2 lobsters at work tmorrow!! i love workin wi pirates aargh lol
 
hey acid test if i were you mate i'd get either some root riot cubes or peat puks and try them that way in your humidity dome, all i do is get a shot glass or something similar add a little water the day before i'm gonna put them in and leave it to stand. once i've put the seeds in the water they usually crack in 24hrs or so and then they go into root riot cubes and get put in the propagator with a 150w cfl over head about 3ft above this happens in a dr60 (very little grow tent) i keep the humidity high by spraying the propagator a couple of times a day depending on outside temps etc and give the root riot cubes a spray once a day so they're kept moist and NOT wet usually within 24-48hours the seed casing will be pushed up and out of the cube and then within another day or so that seed casing will have been pushed off and the plant is officially started. i'll leave them in the propagator until there's a couple of healthy looking roots popping out of the bottom of the root riot cubes and then they go into small starter pots where they get their first watering, i'd recommend small starter pots mate if your not already using them simply because i find that larger pots take too long to dry out and i don't like seedlings staying in wet soil for too long i think it slows them down a little, just thought i'd write that down for ya mate just in case you wasn't sure how some others do it i've had 100% so far doing it this way mate
 
Hahaha, swapping a blade for two lobsters, come again? :lol: Ent had lobster in a couple of years now, work used to cook me up a bunch of cornish lobsters for me each christmas, rocking down the pub for a work bash with a dressed lobster and plastic fork, that's the life.
