ok, I'll help ya.... soon as you see the tap root emerging from the shell plant them into small cups, with proper potting soil, about half an inch down, and put them under florescent lights until you get a few leaves. let me know if you need more help. ![]() | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Check out the link in my sig for Agent86's germination guide. It also gives a great method for planting the seed once the root is showing. I don't follow it exactly (ie, I don't use plates and my container sits on a space heater), but the info on planting is great. Good luck REV

![]() | Depending on the temperature, the white sprout will start to emerge after 2 days. After you plant the seeds, you should only keep the seeds under one or two florescent lights (you don't need much light at this point) until they sprout, then you can more lights, but don't start out with HPS or MH at this point. Remember not to overwater the plants (i did that to my very first plant and it died shortly afterward ). | ||

don't worry about how long it takes, my first ones took almost a week and two months later they are great. something you have to remember about growing is that every single plant is different, there isn't really a norm on time. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | plink, plink....here's my ![]() seeds that take forever to germ can (but not always) be a red flag that you've got a weak plant in your future. i've read conflicting stories on this kind of thinking, but in my personal experience a long germination period leads to a reticent and slow-growing plant. but.... it ain't necessarily so....just an observation. best of luck!! check out the "grow with wisdom" link in my sig for gettin started. ![]()
