Sprouting problems

Hi all. I bought 10 white Russian autoflowering seeds from lowlife seeds a few weeks ago. I germinated them the paper towel method, 9/10 shells cracked open. A couple had decent roots, but i put all them in rockwool cubes and under 9 26 watt lights, about 3 inches from them. I've been keeping them moist, but after more than a week I got nothing on any of them. I took 7 of the seeds out because they didn't so anything so I am tryin to regerm them, with little success. If anybody has any solutions to how I can get these babies to sprout I would be very grateful.

Time to pack a bowl... Light one or my luck...

Anybody have anything

u have a picture? just poke a hole in the rockwool and just leave the tip of the seed out and the rest of the root in the rockwool and it should start to grow! good luck bro!

just get a floral and put it an inch or so away from the top!

Its best not to put in a cube till a root iis visible. Place root down about a seed length deep. If the cube already has a hole fill it to where you want the bottom of the root. If you plant the seed too deep it could take a long time to surface, if ever.l Be careful you dont keep the cube too soggy. The seed might drown or rot plus it attracts the dreaded fungus gnat larvae. I recently planted some Barney's Farm LSD, paper towel then cube. They popped up very quickly, less than a week. My White Siberian took more than double the time.
You should have let the seeds be. I doubt they will survive, but life is full of surprises

If the root is sticking out and you touched it... you might have killed it. You need to plant it and leave it if you want it to have a chance of growing, "regerming" doesn't really work.

Also, you want to turn off your lights. You don't want the lights on until the seeds break ground. Once they are out in the air. Then you can turn on the lights.

I had this same problem. The 2nd time around I used new seeds from the same batch and I left the lights off and they popped out.

Hey thanks a lot I'm going to try to switch over to soil growing because my current situation leaves me unable to water multiple times a day like hydroponics needs, so maybe I'll go back to hydro after a couple of grows and I get the hang of it
thanks for all your input and I will use this in future grows
