so i germinated seed till it cracked paper towel method till its root tip poked out so i planted it 3 ordays later noticed nothing happen so i carefull undug it and its root barely grew at all is it dead or sumthing or am i doing something wrong.
(i know im not supposed to undig it but i belived it wasnt growing which it wasnt)
the root is a milky white it does look like it got a little darker as you can see in pic

the first night of germ i had my paper towel ontop of cable box and it got preety warm and paper towel kinda dried out over night but it had a little growth a day later then thats when i planted and hasnt grown since

Who knows what happened. If they stay too wet they'll rot. I don't use the paper towel method and just plant seeds straight in soil.

I'll put my seed in a little sunshine mix 4 in a baggie after watering it letting it drain and then squeeze half the water out of it too before you put it in to the baggie! Room temperature should be good enough I used to think keep it warm but that's not necessary after all in nature it's in the ground and it's lower than room temp.

No no when you do paper towel first leave it until you have a taproot like 1cm long then transfer to soil make sure tap root down not up as people say, although in nature they do grow up to go down.... then leave it alone until it breaks soil, spray with a mist only if you do anything, normally one day or two it will break surface and then happy days, the worst thing to do is dig it up. Also planting straight does work I just prefer paper towel myself, good luck bro
