Either way it just takes time. did you germinate it in a paper towel first? This whole growing thing takes plenty of patience, if you have none you will be doomed.

You give the soil a little bit of water every couple days? If it doesn't sprout in another week then it probably didn't make it.

ive kept the soil at the right wettness everyday. but i did a little digging and found the root growing. that was a few days ago. is it safe to keep a low wattage hps on to give her enough light?

well yo

really until the seed sprouts, you shouldnt have any light on it at all..it has to be totally dark so it goes up out of the soil to look for light, thats when you put lights on it, when you see 2 little pedals

keep it very dark..and keep the soil moist...they should pop out of the soil within like 6-10 hours

and sorry for being ignorant..but when you said you germinated the seeds 2 weeks ago, did they actually pop? or did they look the same before you germinated?


if they did pop, then keep the pot in a dark place..youll see my bro

Put the HPS light on it, the warmth may help alot. let the soil dry out a bit. Roots shouldn't have light, but it won't kill them for short exposures.

if you touched the root it is probably gone. Better luck next time. You have to be patient. Let it do it's thing.
