You should really consider doing some massive amount of research in the next few days while the seeds are germinating. Do you want to grow the plants yourself or do you want us to grow them for you mate?
Yeah i can see you have been here for a few months, but you must of been one of the growers who would rather research "whats the best-est fastest highest yielding strain" instead of "how to properly take care of marijuana plants". Germinating is some of the most basic info as well some of the first that comes up in research. RESEARCH
Seed's are actually incredibly resiliant. Think about it.... the hit the ground in the fall/early winter and sometimes go through animals behinds.
Also, few places in the world have a sudden change to winter, so that means the seed is exposed to a lot of wet, dry and cold before it's to awaken the next spring. Even if you soak seeds for a day and then dry them out, 9 times outta 10 it will still be viable. Ahhhh mother nature.
Yes mother nature combined with the ignorance of man never turns out well.. We are the ones destroying her on a daily basis (not us directly but in general lol).
Leave the light off, but put it under the light as soon as you see it sprouting. Don't blast it with too much light though until it completely finishes sprouting.
