Why are they not sprouting :(:(:(:(

Hiya.... rite ive tryed everythin

the seeds germanate about 1 millmeter (cup and water method) then i plant them about 1cm down in the soil and warter gently...... 3 days l8er... nout lol.
just did 3 more now and dint plant them so you cant see them just enough so i can just see the seed (cant see the tap root) then put a few drops of water oneach seed because i ifnk i overwatered my last lot .... my soil has a very slow drainin rate

by very slow i mean its like a fucking sponge might just invest in some more.

also ive noticed the soil it pritty compact... but i only patted it down with my fingers...


any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Go to the upper left hand corner of this page and click on GrowFAQ. Find the appropriate catargory and click on that.

soil needs to be light and airy and you need to germinate seeds in paper towel or rockwool

maybe ur soil is to har for the roots to spread in growth

Repot or try again, this time mix soil with some perlite. Its like 1.50 for a huge bag. Also, make sure when the seed germinates (sprouts) that you plant it with the seed up and the sprout down, the sprout is the root.

ok thanks dudes ill try it now .................

just put the seeds strait in soil. I did and worked fine. its the naturall way of doing it

also, HAVE PATIENCE!!

Well, one of the benefits of doing it the way abudsmoker said, is you don't waste time waiting on a seed that isn't viable. also, this is the recommended way to do it, as told by the seed banks. Some say to do it in a glass of water, but I like the paper towel method, inside a ziplock baggie, blown up.
Peace
