Ok i've germed my seeds and now i'm waiting on them to sprout and i was wondering how long it would take to see them come through the soil?

Fresh mature seeds can sprout within 24 hours. If they seeds are a bit old it could take 2 weeks. 1-3 days is very normal.

Ok well as soon as i seen the stem come out of the seed i planted it and its been 2 - 3 days and nothing really is happening. so i keep digging them up and re planting them, is that bad for it or am i ok
 
You should definitely not dig them up and replant them. They should be planted taproot down under a very loose soil cover only about 1/4 inch deep. They should typically come up within 1-3 days, but by digging the seeds up you could have killed them. Hopefully thats not the case, but once the seed is planted leave it alone! :)

I only know this because I made the same mistake. Interestingly enough, one where I thought the seed was useless (just left it mixed within the soil because I couldn't find it) I went to re-use the soil a few weeks later I had two plants growing! lol Cannabis is a tough plant, but stress is not good. Hope that helps. Happy growing.
 
Ok brother here is what you should do:

Get
Three paper towels
Fish tank water
Packing tote or some large storage container you can put a lid on that is clear.

Now, put your weed in there and get the paper towel wet. Squeeze the paper towel water over the pots containing the seeds, holding the wet paper towel about four or five feet up. Make it look like it's raining on your plants, they love that shit. Do this once every three days and then close the lid to your container and let them sit. Forget about them since they can't dry out because you have a lid on your container.

ONLY water this way. this will keep you from over watering. Also make sure the pots have holes for the excess water to go out.

And just wait. And wait. If in two weeks you have no plants yet you might have a bug problem.

Weed doesn't like human interaction very much. You need to simulate an environment like nature. You don't see nature digging up all her fucking plants do you?

There is a saying: Nature takes it's time, and every summer every thing works out fine. So leave your plants be. Water them like I said every three days and don't terenshal down pour every time. A light rain one day, heavy the next. If it gets too moist in there by the first week open the lid and let her dry out.

As long as you have good dirt and seeds sprouting already you are good to go. The first grow is always the toughest. You will inevitably fuck up most your plants and have to try again. It's no big deal. So keep trying.
