Germination Question

Hi everyone. This is my first grow so go easy on me. I just need to know I'm not messing up my seedling. This is what I did: I put the seed in a shot glass of water, soaked for 12 hours (the seed sank), afterwards I put it in a peat pellet, put the pellet in a cup, and put a ziploc baggy over the cup.

Does this sound okay?

It's been three days since I put it in the pellet. The temp has stayed between 71-75 F and my theromoter tells me humidity is only at 28%

And on a side note, are light leaks a problem at this point? the place I'm keeping it isn't completely dark.

Thanks!

Sounds okay to me. All you can do is wait.

Most seeds germ in a day or two, some seeds take a little longer, and some just don't sprout at all.

And no, light leaks are not a concern. Seedlings need plenty of light.

Thanks for the help! I'll keep waiting it out and hopefully it'll sprout.

I saw that guide the day after I started germinating. I used a peat pellet instead tho so it was a little different. lol

The little sprout broke the surface this morning.

Now I just ditch the baggy and put it under a light right?

You're right, seeds don't need light, but seedlings do. And anyway, I like to have a light on in advance so they don't have to wait.

Yep.

Thanks for the help guys. This plant is my experimental plant. I'm planning on making a journal for my next grow. I'm wanna do 1 White Siberian, 1 Pineapple chunk, and eventually a Skunk #1. I'm still not sure if I wanna try growing a sativa alongside a couple indica strains but I guess I'll see how this plant works out for me.

Good luck. You don't have to ditch the baggie yet it will act like humidity dome but after it stands up a bit you can ditch it.

you need to know even feminized seeds from reputable dealers are sometimey. it may not be anything u did wrong. just have patience with them. a cannabis plant is a temper mental thing at times
