helllooooo im a first time grower and i kinda ran into a problem. i germinated my seeds using the wet paper towel technique, it worked but yeah i planted the germinated seeds in the growing cups about 6 hours ago, but the soil wasnt moist, it was dry, and the light was shining on it so that didnt make it any better. so when i got home about just an hour ago i forgot the soil had to be moist, so then i then added water to the soil so it would be moist but i do not if the germinated seeds died off already because it was in dry soil for about 6 or 7 hours, do i still have a chance of them growing? sry if this was confusing

they could have dired out and died, i've acciddently left germinated seeds in the towel and it dried out - they died, but you could still be ok, just keep an eye on them, you will know if none of them come out of the soil after a week.

k thnx, just 1 more thing, how often does it take for it to come out of the soil? and is it true that pee makes it grow faster?

jrm...it could be 2 days, and it could be 10; there is no set or standard schedule. And, no, pee [urine] doesn't make plants grow faster. You will hear/find from most amateur growers that this is a very foolish practice; another urban legend. That said, there is a use for human urine in the growing cycle of marijuana, but that comes down to a personal choice. And, personally, I don't use this method.

For your sake, I hope you didn't, but fear you did cook your seeds. Nice thing about being a rookie, is that you LEARN from your mistakes. Your next effort should meet with success! Knowledge is power, and more knowledge you have will help you be a better gardner!

First it's a crapshoot on if those babies will sprout. Keep your fingers crossed.

Second don't pee on them.

Third they come up on there own schedule. Right now I have 4 in cups. One sprouted yesterday and the others who knows?

when do you give in on seeds? I'm growing bagweed and usually give up after 2 weeks.

I've never had a bean not sprout that germinated in a towel properly. always sprouts within a week, usually days

fuuuuck i woke up this morning and one of the seeds was on top of the dirt, how it got all the way up there idk. i guess i watered it to much or somthing, then the light was shining on it to. man nothing is going well for me in this growing stuff. shits to hard

Not to bust your B@LLS, but, if you are giving up after one try, then you shouldn't grow. It takes BOTH knowledge AND patience; I think most veteran cultivators would echo that. Read and re-read posts on how to accomplish what you hope to do; most "newbies" skip this and want results that will win the next Cannibus Cup. You'll learn much from the experience of others in this forum, IF YOU SEEK IT...it's a rewarding hobby, with rewarding results.

also seems like perhaps you need to research a bit more. Read the beginners guide and see if that doesnt help your confidence. Start out with an open mind and by your third or fourth grow, you'll be a pro!
