germinated 2 seeds last weekend and planted them tuesday. put the light on them (CFL 20w) and come thursday they hadnt come above the soil, so i checked the soil temp and it was cold so i put the light further down for however which heated the top however soil further down was still cold, so i then decided to add another light which was the same so now temps are alot higher, though before i did that i checked the seeds and they look the same as when they germinated which i believe is due to the cold condition they have been left in, they are alot hotter now so the temps are right, however do you think they will start to grow again or is it too late?

I'm not even growing right now and have only tried a few times but I can tell you right now--- MORE LIGHT MORE LIGHT MORE LIGHT! and make sure the area its in is a comfortable temp (correct me if I'm wrong more experienced growers) but I think 80 deg F is about right? I think you still got a chance just keep trying :)

just dont wanna waste money on a lost cause, being its a stealth grow the area at the moment is small as of which i intend on expanding as they grow so the light for the temperature is more than adequate at the moment.

start germing another bean or two in case these ones dont pop up. it could be that they were just stunted by the cold and will pop the surface eventually. also they could just be slow growers and theyll pop soon, like next time you take a look at them

aint got any more for now, spent 25GBP on these 2 seeds, trial and error as they say, but each time, proving a costly mistake, wanting to wait till next friday, then if still nothing has come up then il order some more. as you say, hopefully they are just slow growers. ive had the light cycle at 20-4 is that ok or would you recommend a change for faster sprouting? the strain is easy ryder also known as lowrider #2 x AK47 which is an autoflowerer
