I planted nine autos last wednesday,3 different kinds all germed however I got all 3 blueberry up,1 out of 3 nirvana short rider, 1 out of 3 afghan kush. Those that are up look good,I am in soil with 4 4ft cfl above going 24/0 cycle.

Anybody ??
 
This does not mean the seeds will not come through,i bet you have put them too deep in the soil i never put seed's any deeper than 5mm below the soil line.Saying this i would never put seeds straight into soil always germanate them first on a piece of kitchen towel let the seeds split and the tap root pop out the put into soil..........................tyke.........................................................................
 
Sorry yeah I cracked for 48 hrs in moist tissue,when the little "worm" bit came out I planted,it's poss may have been a tad deep, can this be changed now or are they dead??,I always plant in the coco jiffy pellets which I put in then put in soil.
 
multiple factors could allow for them now to pop through; i.e., too deep, cracked/dead seeds, toxicities during planting, root tip dmaage during transplanting, really the list goes on and on.

I'd wait another 3-5 days. If nothing comes up, call it a loss and replant or focus on your current seedlings.
 
When germinating, don't rush it. After the tap root appears, keep the towels moist and let the tap root get a little longer...at least 1/4 inch. That's what I do, with great success. I poke a tiny hole in the soil and use tweezers to place the germinated seed in it. Really I am just moving aside a little bit of soil, wouldn't call it a hole really. Then I use the tweezers to push a little of the soil back over it. Again, just enough to hide it really. For a few days, I use the cap of my water jug to deliver water to it, so as not to wash anything away.

That's what works for me, anyway :)
 
Right I took a pair of tweezers to em turns out 2 were way to deep,so I brought up higher fingers crossed,and one of the kush was just bout busting through with pre flower so just disturbed soil for it, last kush weren't cracked lol so crackin it again it moist tissue,fingers crossed ..............

Germinating directly in the medium is the BEST way to germinate seeds. Plant them 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch deep and just keep moist and warm. I have never seen mother nature use a paper towel to germ a seed...........
