I've successfully grown 2 males in my lifetime from bagseed and have finally started the undertaking of growing in a pc case under cfl with decent, smaller Indica genetics - Top44 and Citral.
Of course, I'm anxious as hell for my seeds to break soil, but it seems like it's taking a bit. I live in the northern part of N. America, though. It's seriously cold here - 8 degrees this am. My house is nice and warm and my growbox fluctuates between 75 and 85 degrees. What worries me is humidity. It's been steady at 20% for the week that it's been on (I had the rig running for a few days before putting seeds in).
What I did: Soaked two seeds in filtered water for ~36 hours. Both sank over time, but I saw no tap root. Since the water they were in was chilly, I figured they were probably too cold. I planted each seed in their respective containers yesterday - about 1/2" under my soil (Miracle Grow Organic), which was pre-soaked for about 12 hours, and covered both containers with glad press-n-seal. I see condensation on the press-n-seal, which leads me to believe that there is some moisture in there and the soil is definitely warm when I pull back the press-n-seal. Thermometer was about 82 last night when I looked.
So.. what else can I do? When can I expect to see something, if anything?
Any tips.. or just some patience?
Thanks, in advance..
