Hey there. First proper grow just started (I'm not counting experimentation with bagseed, lots of learning but no actual MJ produced so far!) I have 5x Devon Maid autoflowers (a Lowryder #2 x Hindu Kush cross from a UK grower / breeder) under a 125W CFL in a converted wardrobe. Got some passive ventilation / air exchange going on but no fan & filter yet (there will be!) and I'm planning on a small occasional grow just to keep me in bud.
Soooo... I paper-towelled them on Sat night, first seed case split was after about 24-30hrs, put 'em straight into their final (3L) pots with J Arthur Bowers multipurpose with added John Innes pre-wetted. They had about 24hrs in the dark and then I thought I'd better get the light fired up for some added heat.
As I write it's about 4 days give or take an hour since they hit the paper towel, but no shoots. Temp is 20-22C, I have the pots clingfilmed (with vent holes) to retain heat / moisture and am adding drops of water every now and again just to keep the planting sites moist.
No shoots though. What do you think- is 4 days and no shoots normal, am I doing something I shouldn't, or am I not doing something I should? It didn't seem like the bagseed took this long to sprout (mind you I wasn't keeping score.) Any pointers? Probably I'm just anxious as these seeds were actually paid for rather than free with the nugs.
