I have some germinated seeds that i have planted in variouse things *seed starter kits to the bio degradable brown cups* How far down should i be planting these seedlings in the dirt? i have them about inch and half. or so and about 4-6 days later only 3 are popping out of the dirt. Is this because they have been planted to deep or over watered. or is it normal for them to be growing this slow. I water daily for now, the dirt dryin out between waterings in the 75-80 degree weather. They are in direct sunlight for at least 9-11 hours a day. All of them are sitting out above ground for now. maybe they need to be burried in their final destinations? i dont know - i'm a newb. what do you guys think?
 
we have also had absoultely no rain in like 11 days. so it's dry and hot. that's also why an every day watering is in my opinion required. but maybe i'm wrong??? help!?
sorry had to add that.
 
why does no one EVER reply to my posts? before posting any questions i look in the grow FAQ and i do read over previous posts to search for my answers.... my questions might be dumb ones... but obviously i'm not a pro. i'm asking because i need the help.
 
i am no expert, especially when it comes to outdoor and soil. but i would say that you should not be watering them everyday unless you soil is dry at the bottom of your pot.
everything you've said you've done is ok to me. you didn't plant them too deep. i would just relax and let nature do it's thing man. sounds like your a bit overprotective. some pics would really help.
 
Are you planting seelings or seeds and inch and a half down? If seeds, that's way too far - 1/4 inch should be fine...just enough soil/dirt over the top to keep them from drying out or getting snatched by a critter.
 
No one is responding to your questions because they are too simple and have already been answered. I think you need to read up on your shit, you sound like you have no idea what you are doing. READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
