thanks a bunch! That helps... It's my first grow & i'm kind of just doing it to get some experience as I build my box (in the process now), so because of all my cash going into the box right now for good future grows, I'm not terribly worried about this plant, it's bag-seed after all... but it is cheap "organic" miracle gro soil, so that sounds accurate, but
I'm not entirely sure, but when I move that white thing, it seems to move the seedling a bit, so that may indicate it's a root?

I spent a lot of time researching whether the germinated seed got planted root up or root down, while most people seemed to say down, it seems like the more reputable sources/science seemed to back-up the root gets planted up because it bends up, then goes down... so now I'm wondering if it really should go down & this is just a indication that it should have been planted the other way... & maybe that extra time/energy it spent correcting it to grow right would have made it take that long to sprout? but what do I know? It is my first go-around after all
Thanks again bro

I took a picture of my plant so far, it just sprouted yesterday... i'm not sure how long it's supposed to take for first leaves to spread open, but it's been 24 hours since it surfaced & it's still closed up like that, but just a tad taller... Anyways, when I planted the seed, it took over 4 days to surface, so as I was getting impatient, i tried to lightly brush some of the top layer of soil away & noticed a little white stem looking thing right at the top layer, when I woke up in the Rating: 5
