Newbie needs advice

So here is the update... I guess this thread is like a "personal diary of how NOT to grow weed" and I am basically embarrasing myself but F it...

I could not sit still and I went ahead and dug up the seeds...

4 of the seeds germinated in the soil so I planted them in "pucks" of coco fiber and pulp. I am sorry, not sure how you call those "tablets" that grow when you introduce water. @Jeffislovinlife posted pictures of those.

Anyways, I was so "upset" that nothing is going on that I just thought I don't care, I will dig up those bastards. I was happy to see they germinated but man, why is it taking ages for them to sprout or am I just being waaay to impatient?

I know I am probably making things worse and am basically torturing the seeds at this point but I don't remember it took them so long to sprout the last time... It has been 10 days... 3 since I moved them.

You're impatient. Make sure to plant seeds barely under the surface, if they're too far down it will take them a lot of time and energy to get to the surface.

Here's how I do it

Temps can slow things up too if it's cool.

A heat mat can really be helpful with heating the soil up for fast germination, the faster the germination and the plant starts growing, the less likely to dampen off as well.

I put my beans in a coffee cup with a half inch of water (tap unless your water is f'd up) put them on top of my router with a piece of junk mail on top to keep it dark and they usually crack within 1-3 days. I like that I can look in on them and once they sprout a tap root into the solo cups they go. Takes a lot of the guess work out of wondering what they are doing, and it's usually only a day or two for them to break ground. Get the soil in the solo cup at the right wetness level before you plant and you wont have to disturb the process by adding water, then mist as needed.

Good luck.

Thank you guys for all the comments.

I did not cover them completely with soil @HandyGringo, they are peaking a little bit. Thanks for the video.

We are actually exepriencing colder weather at the moment so heating is on, they are above radiator. It is not too warm so I do not think the heat will "cook" them but they do have heating...

The first soil where I planted them in just did not feel right because once I watered it, it became really wet and dense. I am surprised they germinated so I thought lets place them in different soil that is better. I mean, the worse thing it can happen is for them to rot, but maybe they would rot in the old soil so...
