Dude, people can say what they want, but I would never put a germinated seed directly in the ground outside. In the future germinate your seed the exact same way you did, but this time use a organic seedling mix like Jiffy Organic Seed Strating Mix with a seedling tray. Add a little vermiculite and pearlite and nothing else. Put the germininated seed in a seed starting tray. If you let the tap root get half a inch when you germinate then bury the tap root and leave the head of the seed above the soil and LIGHTLY water with a mixture of Superthrive, Sodium Peroxide, and Distilled Water. This will allow the root tip to search for more water and it will make it easier for the cotyledon leaves to sprout because there is no soil for the seed to push through. The seed will come up and pop the shell head on it own. Once the seedling is 2-3 inches tall then take it out of the seedling tray and place it in a solo cup. Make sure you drill holes in the bottom of the cup for drainage and use the same seedling mix when you transplant. Let the plant grow in the cup for atleast 1 month under a cfl light. by that time put her outside for a while or plant her directly in the soil outside. Within a month of growing inside, she should be strong enough to handle the stronger soil and rain/etc outside. I keep an eye on the weather to make sure it doesn't rain before I put my plants out. Marijuana seedling leaves are VERY fragile and can get torn to shreads with a heavy thunderstorm....much less a fresh germinate seed. Always care for your babies inside before putting them outside. No need in taking chances. Especially with seeds you purchased.Okay so i germinated one seed and let the taproot get to a little over a half an inch before i planted it outside. The soil is very fertile from my garden and i mized it in with some vermiculum too. I planted the seed about a half an inch below the surface and it has been a week and i have nothing poking up through. Being a newbie, and impatient, i dug around a bit and there wasn't any sign of the taproot!! however, i found half of the seed shell sitting on the soil so what happened? We have had some heavy rain for a few days so could that have killed it? Thanks
