Ok so i bought some Big Buddha Blue Cheese and Arjans Ultra Haze #1 both feminized, and got a Northern Lights fem free.

Here's my problem, i used the paper towel method to germ them ( 2 BBBC, 1 AUH1, and 1 NL) and put in a dresser drawer. I've done this many times with a bunch of reg seeds I have. Anyway they got dried up for as much as a few hours ( not sure). So after that i treated them well but definitely do not look to healthy after a few days

Despite their unhealthy look, i planted them today.

Sorry i forgot to take pictures but heres what they looked like:
NL- the root tap came out nice and white and thick and after the drought it just went downhill from there, nto sure why it got a little mush and hasnt grown much. It didn't look too bad.
BBBC- one didnt even sprout, and the other did, came out grew a couple mm and then went through the drought, now has a flimsy little root.
AUH1-The best looking one, it sprouted after the drought still doesn't look too good.

All showed some signs of browning. The reason I did it was because I wasnt sure if the paper towel was somehow making it worse and it might be better to just plant it.

Heres what I'm wondering....Should I just Germ like one more of each and plant them also, or wait and see if the ones I planted today grow. Also i know letting them dry out is shitty, i feel real bad for it, i went to a party and ended up sleeping there, forgot. but could it also be bad seeds, maybe cause their feminized? They looked smaller then the reg seed i have.

Thanks -ITB

hopefully they will sprout...I forgot I had seeds germin one time, and they were totally growing in the paper towel! I put a paper towel in tupperware so it doesnt dry...It works for me..

I would wait to see if you get some sprouts before you germ some more.

I know all about "forgetting" I went out one night had too much fun, and didnt take my plants out of the dark cycle...I have to manually switch everything because I dont have enough space.

ya, I think Im just gonna wait a few days and see if they grow. I put mine in tupperware too, but it drys out like within 24 hours, idk why maybe its just dry in my house in winter.

That sucks that you gotta do the lights manually, i don't have much space either but i still got a timer,idk what i'd do without it, you should invest in why don't you use one?...Thanks for the advice though, your the only one that cared, haha.

i'd say wait a few man, each seed is different, just like humans.. it could be a late bloomer.. or many other factors, some genes take to wetter environments while others dry.. weed grows (pretty much) EVERYWHERE in the world, and different strains thrive in those different locations because of the different conditions.

wait and see what they do.

Yeah I kinda bit off more than I could chew for my first grow...I started a new set of plants every three weeks..Then I ran out of room so thats why I have to do things manually...I have a full grow room 24/7 and full dark room 24/7...I cant wait till harvest!!! Then I will slow it down a lil bit. And get a nice rotation going.
