Seed in overly wet medium for 1.5 days. Help!

[danksalot]

Hey guys,

So I'm using rapidrooter plugs to germ/sprout some seeds.

The problem is, the plugs were too wet since I left water in the RR tray. Been like this for 1.5 days.

I just emptied the tray and am letting the medium dry out. Are the seeds okay or did they likely rot??

Please note I did not germ the seeds before planting them in medium. Just soaked them in water.

Doesn't sound too bad, give them a few more days and see if anything sprouts

Calm down, ok we got rid of the excess water. Did you PH the water you soaked the plugs in. These are the thing's we wanna know. What is the source and PPM of your water. Tell us more.

Have patience brother. After soaking for 24 hours, my seeds still took 4 days to pop up.

Thanks for the assurances, dudes. This is my first time germinating.. used clones in my past grow..I blew like $60 on these seeds so I want them to turn out well.

Used Aquafina water because apparently most tap water has traces of chlorine in it.
PH tested it and it turned out to be about 6.0

Putting a fan it will help it dry out and make your stalks stronger

Alright guys.. a bit of an update.

4/5 of the seeds have popped up and are now happy & healthy sproutlings (4th-5th day they popped)

I decided to dig up the seed that was showing little progress (no root, no sprout) with some tweezers.

When I pulled it out of the plug, it wasn't anchored or anything, but a little tap root was just starting to poke out of the seed.

Here's the problem..I was too rough with the tweezers and I slightly crushed the thing..the seed integrity is still good but there's a small crack in the shell..I'm just worried the actual seedling part may have been damanged.

What do you guys think?

Well you can toss it, or you can wait a little longer and see if it sprouts, I reckon it may still be ok.
Sometimes the ones with the roughest start can end up being the best plants, sometimes they're not.
Congratulations on the 4 outa 5 so far, at least you're in business.
Cheers n Peace

Yea don't throw anything away until you see that thing brown and rotting, thats my opinion. Never know if it will bounce back or not.
