so i just got my seed and i did not do the "paper towel trick" instead i just planted it about an inch down in wet soil i have covered it with a bag so the moister is locked in. So how long will it be before i see a sprout? it has been about 24hours right now. here is a picturehttp://forum.grasscity.com/micro-grows/1017574-micro-grow-gun-safe-first-grow-need-help.html Any information will help!
This could be well over a week, be patient, keep it moist. I would recommend however next time doing the paper towel trick. I used to not do it and just do the soil thing and I had a massive fail rate. Lately I have been 100% successful doing the paper towel method. ONLY thing you have to look out for using the paper towel method is being EVER SO GENTLE with the seed when it pops and you are handling it with the taproot exposed. I hope you seed sprouts healthy and ready to produce massive bud
Patience is the name of the game. As hard as it can be sometimes we have to just forget about are ladies a little so they can do their thing.
When I seeds directly in the soil mine usually take from 3-7 days for all to sprout. Remember once you remove the humidity dome to spray the plants with water lightly each day to let them get used to the dryer air.
may I ask, why didnt you do the ole' paper towel trick?? it really does help speed things along. When I first tried, i had a few seeds in some soil, and I never got any of those bad boy to take sprout, I hope you have better luck then I did. What is the ave. temp of the room their in?
well i saw some one who was doing it this way and i had heard that if you do the paper towel trick it can kill the seeds. i really hope i didnt mess it up!!1 its at 83 right now

Just potted tonight. So far I've done 5 seeds with 100% success.

It will sprout, be patient. The only good thing about the paper towel trick is that you can make certain it germs before you plant it. Keep it in a dark warm spot til it sprouts. Good luck!
I hope it sprouts if not ill be so sad. I keep checking it but im not gonna check till tomro. Any help you guys can give will be much needed
I actually don't do the paper towel trick. I did before , until one time it was extremely moldy, could of been one bad seed but it contaminated every one. All I do is grab a cup of water, fill it with grade A water, label the cup and drop the seeds in. Within 24-36 hrs all seeds should have taproot, unless dried up. Then plant and wait upto a week for sprout.
