It has been three days since I hve planted my girls in the soil. I soaked them in water until they cracked and then put them in soil. I just checked and 5 of them look the same as they did as when I put them in. You can look at my journal for all the details and pictures... is this normal? Should I just take them out and put them in paper towels?

soak in cup till they sink, then put them in a wet paper towel till the root starts showing
then plant them, works for me 100 percent of the time, but yeah take them out and put them iside a paper towel till the root is about a quarter inch long that way youll be sure to get a sprout GOOD LUCK

Thanks man... I took them out of the soil today and put them in towels and already 2 have signs of growing roots.. after only about 3 hours so thanks! I just wasn't sure if it was safe to take them out of the soil. It sure is funny they are sort of hard to germinate in soil, what they were meant to grow in in the first place.

make sure you don't touch the root with your fingers. something about your fingers have too much oil or something. I use a twizer but don't squeez too hard. good luck.

try very carefully and take off the seeds shell thats what i did and it worked great just dont pull to hard of you could damage the seedling or you could just leave them for a couple more days and see if they come off naturally
