Hey first time grower here. Simple question really just wondering how long I should let my seed germinate. It's been germinating(sp) for 1 day now and I started 2 days ago.

this one is ready for planting, mate, when the taproot is about 0.5cm, it's ready to go.

but, i see in the pic you're holding the bare taproot with your hands. you should use a pair of tweezers to do that, the taproot is the most delicate part of the plant ;) wouldn't wanna get it ruined, ey :)
good luck, harv

ps put it in soil/other medium with the taproot down ;)

Ok next question. should I take the hard layer surrounding the seed off?
Here is a updated pic of the seed by the end of the day.

plant it quick before it dies. dont worry about the shell. it will pop off on its own when the leaves start to take in water and grow. for future reference it is easier and safer to germinate in the soil.

I was a vegetarian until I started leaning towards sunlight

Any posts made by me are becuase I love smoking marijuana so much that i let it govern every aspect of my life and I end up sat at my computer talking about how to grow it. I grow weed in my house and in my car and on my roof in my attic and in the basement, and when the neibours not looking i grow in his garden
