Seeds sprouting

Hey everyone, I put some seeds directly into the soil
and waterd and
kept it moist plus put them under cfl
lights ... It's been like 4 days and I don't see any sprout is this bad news?!? And I put the seeds 1- 1 1/2 inches deep... There in 4 inch cups thanks

You might want to try and rescue those seeds and get them and their tap roots up a little closer to the surface. You don't plant seeds 1- 1.5 inches below surface. it is 1/4 - 3/8 of an inch below the soil's surface.....

I also would suggest you make sure the right end is pointing upwards, so that the tap root sprouts up and then turns to go down intio the soil.

This means the pointy end of the seed upwards, and be very careful if the taproot has started to sprout already, then dislodging it could potentially harm it. Use caution when attempting to work with roots, especially new tap roots!

In my opinion, the best idea is to leave them be and sprout on their own, as they have probably started doing so already if the seed is viable

You've planted way too deep...follow serapis advice....just be careful.....actually I'd try to remove some top layers of dirt a bit at a time till you see "something"...then put a bit of soil back on top........and it doesn't really matter how you place the seed....they will "right" themselves....

This is true, but it seems that when they are forced to grow in 2 opposite directions, they take a better initial hold in the soil, which eventually makes for a much sturdier plant, it's what ive always done, and has good results. Altho I do like your idea of removing extra soil, that way the possibe seedling is never disturbed at all

Guys I tried to find one of my seeds by taking out layers from the cup and couldn't find it cuz
there's so much stuff in the soil I hope I didn't move it further or anything but whts the best thing to do at the moment because I'm
extremely nervous... If the seeds are too deep they won't sprout out??? Plus the seeds are from

scared about the seeds

u were told u planted too deep (u'll know better for next time) follow the advice given. on the other cups, gently remove about 1/2 inch of soil & then leave them be & wait another 2-3 days & u should see something; although some strains can take up to 10 days, not likely.

5-6 days is pretty common time. 4 days from planting to above ground is about as fast as I've had a seed sprout. Just give them some time.

Thanks guys I'll upload a pic by the end of the week

Cool, cant wait to see em sprouted, is this your first grow? if so, may I offer a little advice,, be careful with "loving your plants to death" like overwatering, overferting and such. I my self am guilty of the same crime

Most first grows are very stressful, but with care and diligence, you can minimize screw ups and grow some really nice bud! My very first grow was a closet, and actually went pretty well, except i didnt know about keeping lights close to plants, so I had 7ft tall monsters in my closet when i went to flower... Ended up having to top them then tie them to grow sideways, although now I know to just tie them off instead of topping during flowering

Now Im into my 3 personal grow, also a closet, only had 1 major problem so far this time, hope it stays that way!

Dude I'm so happpy now!!!! I see a sprout!!!!!!

see, all that fussin for nothing, LOL, cheers! Now DONT touch it, lol.

I do this all the time. You think it will be easy to find but they aren't I usually don't find them. I also use to bury them too deep and they really dont need to be that deep but if you can listen to the advice of the tap root up, I believe it helps to give the plant leverage to pop up out of the soil, but it's no biggie they can sprout in any position. Digging them up isn't really a good idea but in your case you had to. Usually they will come up in about 4 days but recently I had some take about a week longer than that and I had kinda given up on. After 2 weeks I'd say you probably aren't gonna sprout.
