you gotta germinate your seeds first man, soak your seeds in warm distilled water over night, than rap in a damp paper towel, put in a ziplock bag put the seeds in a cold damp place(a drawer works fine) than when the seed cracks and the beginning of the seeds roots show ( usually within 3-10 days) plant the seeds 1/4 inch down in your soil with the roots down and water, good luck with your grow man
