Germinating Question.

Not sure if this should go in the Problem section because I'm not sure if this is a problem.

Alright, I had like 15 seeds? They were all bag seeds from this pretty good stuff I had. Well, 3 I let soak in a little shot glass of water for 24 hours and proceeded to plant them in some soil. I also put 3 seeds in between some paper towels and when they cracked with the white tail thing sticking out pretty long I planted those in the same soil. It was MG soil, nothing special about it. NONE of the seeds have sprouted out of their soil and I think it's been more than a week.

I also finally got a Jiffy-7 yesterday with the Peat Pellets and I planted 3 seeds into two pellets and 1 seed into another. How well do Jiffy-7's work?
I also got some new soil for root development so that should help for the other seeds. I've been letting them all sit on my deck so they can get real sunlight.

Any help?

How deep did you plant them? It takes time to sprout through the soil sometimes. Maybe you need patience with a side of relax.

I didn't plant them too deep, not too sure on measurements. But yeah, I'm trying to get a little more patient.

I have some weed coming to my house soon!

hey buddy
not really sure of the problem or if there is one ,like buddy said it just maybe patince..
one thing thought,only one seed per pot..
don't know what jiffy 7 is...i use pro mix..
maybe the sun lite is too strong for them ..
but they should still pop throw soil..
too much or too little water could be problem..
not sure if that mg soil has nuts in it ...
at least they are bag seed ..good practice..

A Jiffy-7 is like a High Humidity Dome that holds 25 Peat Pellets for germinating. You pour water onto the pellets until they've reached their full size. Then you sow a couple seeds into each pellet and they sit under the HHD.

Yeah, I'm going to go easier on the watering. How many times a day should I water them until they sprout?

Yepperz. That's what I've been doing, I just wanted to know if I'm watering them too much. 2-3 times a day.

yes i would think you water too much..
but i dont know how dry yor coditions are..
yes i know peat pellots..
that dom thing i would never use it with seedlings ,only clones..
but some people here do.

I have been reading lately that when you place the seed in your soil or mix, try to plant it with the white root down. I guess that speeds the process or something

I got 6 bag seeds from a friend of some wicked tasting smoke. soaked down some paper towel covered with a plate and only 2 popped roots 1 right away the other approx 5 days later.
my question is how long should i give the remaining seeds a chance to pop roots before i toss them and try with other less quality bag seeds?
