I planted my seeds straight to the soil, it's foxfarm ocean forrest.

2 out 7 seeds have grown out and began seedling stage. it's been about a week or more now. When should I give up on the other seeds and bring new seeds but this time try to successfully germinate them.

also i'm keeping the lights on 24/7 as they are autos. i'm using HLG v2 550, but I see that the 2 seeds that have grown out are the furthest from the light. Should I try a 18/6 cycle?

about 2 inches deep.

I tried putting them in a paper towel only 1 cracked. I soaked them in a water glass for 18 hours than a paper towel for 2 days.

Can I take them out the soil and try the paper towel method again? Do I have to soak them again? Thats if I didn't lose them in the soil.

I put them on paper towel and wait 5 days or so and then put them in medium. I wouldn't bother with the soak. Not enough oxygen in the water.

I would wait now and change next time....

Better still take cuts from the 2 that worked and grow from curtings

Nature is hard to predict. How deep down did you place them? And you haven't poured water directly on top of them i hope. It can push your seeds down too far if its a heavy stream

I have 100% success with most seeds like this. Had a dodge batch recently where none cracked. But I didn't have to waste 14 days and loads of space wwaiting for them

I use the Mephisto seeds method for germination. toilet paper, an empty cd case, and a towel or t shirt to wrap the case. I must admit, it works awesome

pictures would be nice but to me it seems you gave too much light, might have cooked those beans
