i had 3 seeds... i am an experienced grower but i've always started from clone.. i had 3 seeds.. i soaked then over night and today about 30 hours later i've put them in wet soil.. i have drainage holes but the soil is verry moist.. should these seeds still be alright and root if i keep the soil moist?

I would assume so, I have done that many times with success. You could also try the paper towel thing where you soak the seeds between moist paper towels.

some people soak the seeds in water for germentation instead of paper towl. That works as well. I use paper towel myself

no i got the soil wet befor i put the seed in and let the excess water drain from the bottom.. then i i gave it a turning over and sprayed water on all the dry parts... the i made a small hole and planted the seed in.. i did the same with all the 3 containers.. when the top begins to dryout i will mist again to make the top a bit wet/moist again..

ok today i have one seed that sprouted.. and opened up to lose the seed shell.. the other 2 still don't have any sign of life yett.. how long should i wait until i chuck the others? i misted the top of the 3 containers today.. well i have them in small jello/pudding containers for seedling stage.. but i will be transplanting when the 2nd or 3rd leaves come on if they arn't root bound befor that.. the soil is still a bit wet for the other 2 seeds.. so i'll wait to see what happens....

yeah i feel the same.. it feels like you failed when you didn't see a sprout the day after.. well i am only growing for seed and a mother for next years outdoor.. so i'll have to wait a while i guess.. hopefully they sprout soon..... bu i was just wondering how long would be concidering it to be dead...?

well i have a male clone and all i need now is a female and i can make seed.. but i only have one seedling so far... i want to plant another couple of seeds. but i don't want to because it might be a waste if the other 2 sprout... i has been 4 days since they were put into soil.. i could plant another 2 and make sure the root is out 1st but i really need a female to seed and take clones off of for my outdoor in may... i want to have me seeds done and some short clones cut 3 weeks befor i am starting outdoors because i'm only cloneing in water and it will take 3 weeks to get roots..

i got tired of waiting so i just put 2 more seeds in water... i'll check them tomorow to see if they sank.. if not i'll stir the water up and give them another day.. if they are sank tomorow i'll put them in some soil and put them under some light with the other one that sprouted first...
