I planted 10 seeds in 5 cups (didnt have any other option at the time and my seeds had germinated). each cup sprouted once, but one sprouted late. I moved the 6th sprout to a sixth cup today.

All are from an ounce of some bricked midgrade. I have another 19 cups that have no sprouted yet of the same bagseed, and 8 cups with bagseed from some headies. These are basically my experimenting plants that will be about a week ahead of the rest since its my first grow. Also, i justed used some plain organic potting mix for these that isnt the best soil... my others are in vermiculite/perlite/moss/topsoil which is a lot better.
Also how wet is the soil supposed to be? Is it supposed to be like just some moisture in the middle or fairly damp or what? And for the germinated seeds i have that are not sprouted, should they be in the sun? And should i keep the soil really damp until they sprout?

Got any tips for the ones in the pictures?

Day 2 from sprout:





















Day 5:

Ok haha heres the story behind that one. I left all of them in the top of my closet when i put the germinated seeds into pots and when i moved them the next day i forgot about that one. I found it like 3 days later and it was long and lanky and hanging over the edge of the pot with the seed still attatched. The pot was about 1.5" from being full so added dirt to it in hopes of covering up some of the stem/root and giving the plant some support... it was still in bad shape so i got some of that plant tye stuff and have it leaning on that.

oh and its the same one as the one 2 pics above it... its looking a lot healthier today, it just still not very strong
 
Looking good there, you should get at least a couple of ladies out of that lot. Best thing you can do at the moment is, nothing. Seriously, just make sure they get plenty of light, don't get too cold and the soil doesn't completely dry out, don't feed them at this stage.

Good luck.

lol poor baby all forgotten and shit. It should come back just fine. I do the same thing as u i usually leave a little room at the top of the pot ao i can add some dirt later and cover/support the stem if there was any stretching.:hump:

Your plants are looking good son as for tha seedlings you should water them lightly everyday jus enuff 2 wet tha surface of the top soil ...for tha seeds that haven't sprouted yet try keeping tha soil damp at this stage no sunlight is required jus focus on keeping it nice &| damp &| they'll sprout just fine

K i took these pictures today. I killed 5 of them by underwattering... i had been watering them somewhat thouroughly (but not drenching) every day but a few were yellowing so instead of a full watering yesterday i gave them about 5 squirts with the spray bottle... just enough to wet the top. Today i went back and the soil was completely dry at the top half and the bottom was only damp... i learned my lession (only one i hope) in watering.

I just mixed 1ml of superthrive with 3 liters of water and wattered them all thoughrly today. I have several new sprouts over the past few days, but i still got 5 that didnt sprout (and i doubt they will they were so dry) and 5 that are dead.

For the pics, if i took a picture of just the tag it means it never sprouted...

Here are pics 1-5 these are the headies in the larger containers.















Pics 6-15; theres one i missed and im not sure which # it is... i thought i took the pics in order. these are bagseed of bricked mids
















Pics 16-18 are the headies in the cups.. 2 didnt sprout and 1 sprouted and is nearly dead... they were dry
