I just started my first grow. (Well, I am germinating.) I have been waiting 3 entire days for my 3 seeds to sprout and I'm growing completely impatient and frustrated. It's like being a 5 year old trying to go to sleep on Christmas Eve. I didn't do any special techniques besides wet some Jiffy Pellets and drop the seeds in. I didn't soak the seeds first or anything.
Today is the 3rd full day of waiting. I am right at about 72 hours and still no soil breakage! I pulled the soil back a little using a toothpick to make sure that they had cracked and at the very least a root had started to grow out of the seeds. All 3 have a small root coming out and growing downward.
I guess they look like all is well but does it usually take this long to germ? I was thinking 1 to 3 days for soil breakage. I guess I am wrong.
My questions for you are:
1) What are your techniques for germinating?
2) What is the shortest AND longest you have waiting to see soil breakage?
3) How do you train yourself to have PATIENCE?![Hit Wall :wall: :wall:](/styles/smilies/wall.gif)
