Popping above soil.

Post by Growmie »

I posted this in the wrong section by accident.

Basically I would just like to know how long you wait for a seed to pop above soil before you give up on it?

Thanks :Stoned:

Hi Duke!

They are new seeds with a recent date on, I'm not sure if I allowed the tap root to get large enough as only one has popped up. They are all different strains of autos so I expected different timings but it's strange that nothing else has showed.
I'm wondering if, like you said, the rest have stalled, but I'm worried to go brushing around and harm/disturb them.

As for storage while they have been in my care they have been in a cool dark place in a box.

It's only been about three days so I'm sure they will pop eventually but as I soaked and germinated first I expected them to be a little quicker haha.

Thanks :)

They are getting to and staying around 26-27 with lights on and around 22c lights off. They are still under humidity domes. The first is doing fine but still nothing from the rest. Fingers crossed the decide to show up in next few days! Thanks for your help :)

Just a quick update, I lightly brushed away a couple mm of soil and they were all starting to peak out! I hope I havnt disturbed them now but happy they are ok! One of them seems like it was upside down though so that one may need more time to right itself but I'm happy!
