Hi everybody, this is my first post on here so be nice, I've been doing my research for the last year and finally bit the bullet and went and got a grow kit, just put my seeds in paper towels inside an air tight plastic box and no sign of a taproot yet, it's been over 36 hours, is this normal?? I just want everything to run smoothly :) thanks

I wouldn't put them in an air tight box. I am not sure what the point of that would be. In fact I would think air/oxygen would be a really good thing. If we were to put you in an airtight casket and bury you in the ground, think you would pop?

could also be the temperature. you got them somewhere warm? are they bag seeds or seeds from a seed bank?

Usually takes 3 days/72 hours for germination in my experience. Do yourself a favor and go ahead and put the soaked seed into your planting medium.

Just my opinion.

put em in a ziploc bag n leave the bag slightly open, or if u using airtight container, do not fully seal it. this should help.
do not worry you still have time to go.

what strain btw?

I like what Aim said. Sow them to soil. You bought them, there not bag seed. You can skip the soaking and the paper towel germination. With the seeds from the seed bank your almost guaranteed a 100% germination rate. Why handle them 3 times when you can handle them just once.
