I would put them in soil now bro, just lightly pack the soil around it, about a 1/4 in deep. Make sure the soil is thoroughly moistened before you put the sprout in there.

Plant those two as well already even though they are barely peeking??? I thought they should be at least 3/8" but if you have experience, then I will throw them in some FFoF, moistened of course.

I put mine in rockwool "or dirt" right when they pop out like that.. Its basically letting you know that its a good seed so you don't have to go digging in the dirt to find a dud seed.. Plant them now, some say ffof is to hot to start seedlings but I've had no problems!

Well I now have four seeds in the dirt and I see green peeking through the dirt on my first planted seed. I hope at least one or two are females. :leaf::leaf:

Yea, no way will I grow four in my area... not enough space or light. I don't want more than two. So if I have four females, then I am not sure what I will do. Just ready to see what happens...

You just got to keep them small and LST the hell out of them. 4 plants would fit in there, but you would need to flower them at less than 6 inches to have good clearance.

Now a tip, put a plastic baggy on as a humidity dome, and don't water it for at least the first week. I say that because there looks to be adequate water in there for a seedling.

so take a sandwich bag and loosely place it over the cup? makes sense to me.

Or you could even secure it with a rubber band. It will live in that environment with no air for several days. Take it off a few minutes each day though to acclimatize it to the lower humidity more gradually.

Thanks Gumball... I'll start that tonight. The humidity level in my grow box stands around 45%

Hey Gumball... once I placed the bag over the barely sprouted seedlings they took off out of the dirt. one looks alright and the other looks like a root and the step are coming out of the dirt... not sure if you can tell from the photos...

Seedlings 004.jpgSeedlings 001.jpg

should I have any concern?

how long do I leave the bag over them... 1 week?
