Nope, the seed was probably put in upside down so you should see the head of the seedling pop itself out within a day or 2. Don't panic just yet & keep the watchful eye trained on your soil. I'll bet you 2 to 1 that the seedling pops up.

Not really, there is no such thing as an upside down seed..... I was going to be polite and ignore that, but.....
You wanna go tell that farmer that uses a rotary sower that he needs to go back and make sure his seed is in right side up? You'll get chased off that farm in a hurry... lol

No need to bow but I can appreciate sarcasm, lol... We are all here to learn, and I always jump on those upside down seed statements. Now you can speed up the time frame from seed to seedling by placing the radical facing up, as shown in the second from left seed. You can plant a seed sideways and due to gravity, the seed will right itself. The only real concern when planting seeds is depth. Too deep, and they may not have energy to break surface and begin photosynthesis. Too shallow and the radicle doesn't get a chance to develop, and sometimes the tap root will grow up out of the soil.

Actually, I was completely serious in my response. I made an ignorant response & appreciated being caught on it.
sounds like you didn't plant deep enough.
as long as the tip didn't dry out you'll be fine.
in regards to the dude with the sarcastic remark about farmers fields, kindly disregard, we're indoor cannabis growers trying to give our babies every advantage in life we can, not grow beets, corn or whatever as cheaply as possible.
There is an advantage to planting pointed end up, the seed will emerge quicker and have more reserve nergy still left in the cotyledons so that it will grow faster and stronger.
