patience is a virtue! it could take around a week for the seedlings to emerge from the soil. Just give it time, i have a feeling they'll pop out

:stoned:

[chasepalmer]

ok. i'll wait it out.

also how often should i be giving them water?

[Dutch Pimp]

Plant seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep...or they might not make it the surface? I put seeds in 16 oz plastic cups for gemination. I wet the soil, first; and only keep the top soil moist with a spray bottle. Also, try and maintain 80-85 degree soil temperature. Don't let the soil become compacted.

Good Luck

should i be giving them water everyday, or spraying the soil/plans when they come up with a water bottle? how often? should the soil always be wet/moist? thanks guys.

since you germinated them, did you plant them with the "tails" pointing up? or into the soil

because cannabis naturally has the "tails" curl over so if you made that mistake plant them with the tails pointing up! and not too deep, plant them so you can see the tails and the seed pod in the soil

At this point you just want to make sure that the top layer inch or two doesn't dry out, they don't need to be soaking.

patience, young padawan!

So long as the soil is moist, you don't have to worry.

You do have drainage holes, right? You don't want rotten roots.

And two days is way too soon to be worrying. Two weeks, come back and show us ur babies! :thumbsup:

Oh, speaking of babies, know that in the first month, they are VERY fragile! Don't even fucking breathe near it!

I am not trying to be a jerk here, but if you dont know to wait more than day or two for the seeds to break ground you probably have a lot more to learn. The search function in the top menu can be ver helpful. There is so much information already on this site if you just take a few minuts to look for it... that is why I love this forum so much!! Like I said earlier, not trying to be a jerk, but there is a ton of info alraedy here, and if you look it up yourself you wont have to wait so long to get your questions answered, and you will probably learn a TON along the way. GOOD LUCK!!

I've never heard of that. I always plant mine with the root pointed downward, and they always sprout.
