Seeds havent germinated

[wants_togrow]

Ok I did the 24 hours in soaking, took them out and placed them into the damp folded paper towel for 24 hours and no seeds have sprouted or showed any change accept color?

what have i done wrong and how do I fix it?

thanks:robgriffin::robgriffin

The seeds need to be kept in the dark to germinate and normally take 3 to 5 days to sprout.

thank you very much, Should they be kept in darkness for all 5 days and do they need a fan or a certain temperature?

sorry for all the simple questions,: im learning.

This may help you.

During germination, the cannabis seed awakens from its inactivity. Water is essential here, for as soon as the seed has absorbed a sufficient amount of water, the seedling begins to form its root system. Next it breaks through its shell. There are various possibilities for the process of germinating :

Pre-soaking - Put some moist tissues on a plate. Put the seeds on top of them and then put a layer of moist tissues on the seeds. Cover the plate with another upturned plate, so that the seeds are in darkness and the environment remains moist. Put the covered seeds in a warm place (21�C). Check the seeds every day, sprinkle the tissues if necessary and carefully transplant the seeds when they open and the tip of the root becomes visible. Put the seed in a growth medium (soil or rock-wool), approximately the size of the seed under the surface (about 5 mm).

Sowing in the growing medium - Place the seeds under the surface in the growing medium at approximately the size of the seed. Regularly sprinkle the growth medium with water, but make sure that the soil or the rock-wool does not become too wet. The seedling uses the spare food present in the seed for growing. Air is very important for its metabolism. So make sure that the soil remains sufficiently airy. One of the characteristics of rockwool is that it retains much air. Make sure that the rockwool is not standing in water and that the excess water is able to drain away properly. Rockwool has a fine germination climate for the seeds. Remove the cover as soon as the seedlings reach above the medium.

Outside growing - Although it is possible to have the seeds germinate immediately outdoors, the germination percentage will be considerably higher if you first germinate indoors. From April to May the ground temperature is not yet ideal. Regularly put the emerged seedlings in a place where they can get used to outdoor conditions.

Young seedlings - The young plants are still very delicate. Therefore you should not place them in direct sunlight or just below a 400 Watt lamp. This might cause burning. Provide young plants with nutrient water and add Boost to strengthen the root system

Matey, I am only one person in a wonderful world of growers here at 420 Magazine. I'm glad you are learning from our experiences.

I do have a bit of advice that im sure a few other growers, if not all, will agree with. CALM DOWN. Have a beer. Relax. Most beginners will OVERdo everything. Too much attention will def. lead to problems. Set a schedule, look at them, and love them. Dont inspect every tiny diffrence in your plants and what other peoples look like.
