i need some help

there is like a 10 to 1 ratio of people germing then sprouting there seeds with soil. i have chosen to use rockwool and transplanting them to cubes. it has been over a week since i placed my cracked ww and chiesel seeds in the rockwool. i could see the top of the seed so i pulled apart the rockwool to see if there was some root growth and the chiesel has a taproot the size of my fingernail and the ww just popped his root out. i transplanted both of these to new rockwool cubes and sprayed a little of my nutes as my feeding schedule tells me too.

i have no idea when is too long to wait for these ladies to sprout. its been about 9 days now and nothing. is it safe to assume that if they have roots that they are still in process, or is that not the case whatsoever? i understand the concept of root rot but only understand that being an issue later on down the line. not sure if this is too long or what. i have a journal entitled chiesel and ww first grow. if anyone can contribute some advice to this worrisome stage, i would be able to sleep better. thanks!

take em out of them bags you got em in and put em about half a foot away from the light and leave it on till they sprout.i just planted 7 white russian and 8 blueberry 3 days ago.and already i have 6 wr and 8 bb.all i do is plant them str8 in the medium in the pot u want them in,put them about 1 centimetre down,water so that all the medium is wet from top to bottom,carefully around the seed so it doesn't lift.put your light half a foot away and leave it on for 18-20hr cycles.sit the pots in trays of water about half inch deep to stop it drying out,as long as its nice and warm in there you can't go wrong.

so i took them out of the bag and they are about a cm deep now. i am using my 600w hps now for 18-6 because the previous flo was from a questionable source and i couldn't figure if that was holding me back.

i am planning to next throw them in bigger cubes before i get into using pots. so i don't know how to take your advice about the pots being submerged in a half inch of water. i am just keeping them damp about 3 times a day with a squirt bottle.

also you were talking about the seed lifting, and what, falling to the side so it isn't sticking straight up, right? cause i think that is good.

it may have been the plastic bag, or the seeds weren't deep enough, or they got a little dry. but there are roots, so that's good right?

thanks bongholio for addressing me!
