seed has popped a tap root but it's not progressing

[ganjarules106]

ok so i germinated a seed the tap root popped out but now nothing is happening been a week now and nothing same size as when it popped

How do you know nothing happened without pulling it back out? Next time, throw it in the soil properly and water it lightly.

 

[ganjarules106]

because it's not in the soil it's in papper towel i dug it up after 5 days and the root was the same size as it is now

Your seed isn't going to do nothing if you don't have it in some kind of medium. Maybe you're messing with it too much.

Well known member and all, i thought you would know that cannabis doesn't grow itself in a free-air environment, after you see a tap root it will shrivel and die untill you plant it in a moist medium.

I would toss a guess to say too much water. When I let them dry out (still damp but no shiny water or sheen on the paper towel), the fine hairs really start filling out the tap root. Too wet, and they can get lazy and even can rot or die without any sign of rot externally.

These were just watered, and as is are borderline too wet imo. I will let them dry some before putting the dome back. Too lazy to stick in coco but they need to be planted.

24hrs swimming in a glass of tap water.

From there to these little plastic containers, half folded coffee filter, moist, no drops of water should be dripping when tipped before putting the dome on (some can be there but higher risk for problems ime). 2 days in the little domes, refreshing daily, and they will literally grow in there.

Those are way to big to not be planted....if your to lazy now what will it be come harvest...

 

[ganjarules106]

i have been having a hell of a time trying to germ these seeds finally get one to pop and then nothing happens i think there all duds but i'm gonna keep trying up till i get a seedling if i do or not

This is a test on seeds nearly 10 years old, they likely won't ever be harvested. Only trying to demonstrate to the cat a surefire way to sprout seeds. These have been frozen, unfrozen, sat in nearly 100f heat and still pop using this method. Take it or not.

Next time you can try putting some moist soil in a cup, poke a hole in the soil and put in your seed, cover with a small amount of soil and then cover the cup loosely in plastic wrap. Don't even think about looking at it for 3 days - I've had pretty good luck this way, but the paper towel trick worked pretty good too. Too much water is bad, too little water is bad. Just keep trying

Just keep trying, and most importantly learn from what you do. You will be flying in no time.

Have you not learned already that a well known member means fuck all hahahaha

I think im missing something here right? Or did this guy try to grow a plant out if a tupperware container? Lol

^I'm not sure how I posted within a post there lol

The tap root and was like marshmellow so i'm guessing these seeds are just duds every last one of them bummed

Buy some el cheapo seeds from a seed bank, if they sprout then yer your seeds were crap, if they dont sprout then id assume the problem was you and your seeds aint crap

This assumes a complete control over every variable which is hardly possible. If they were mush, it's likely too wet, or they got moldy and died off. Change the paper towels/coffee filters daily for best chance at fending off mold.

No it dosent assume complete control over every variable only that you purchase seed that you know aint crap and will germinate 100% and then do a comparison with the seed you suspect is dud.

I couldnt make it any simpler and the results will answer the Op's question of wether his seeds are crap or not
