New Grower 2budz “In over my head” grow

[Don't Fear the Reefer]

I bet, that when I open the tent in the morning I’ll have sprouts in every pot except the one I had to drop a new bean in…

How long are you going to wait for your seeds to sprout?
I've been waiting six days for my Mephisto Fantasmo x Toof Decay to sprout and still no sign yet. Getting a little worried.

Give her time. I’ve had seeds take 10 days. I’m very impatient so this stage isn’t easy lol.

I have 6 sprouts this morning. Both of the Mephisto.

Thanks @2budz will give it some time.

Did you soak it in water first?

Did you soak it in water first?

Yes for about 36 hours.
Is that what you do?
Or do you just plant them straight into the pot?

I always add coconut milk powder to the soak water. Since I started doing that my germination rate seems much better.

I've had issues popping Mephisto seeds in the past without soaking. I'm not saying it isn't my fault or that the genetics are bad. But breeding for specific features can make the seedling a little less robust and I try to give it every chance I can. I also put Green Aminos in the water but suspect the main benefits come from the coconut milk.

Straight in the pot. 6 days is quite long if you soaked it. How long was your tap?

There was no tap root, but both seeds sank when I touched them, the fastbuds is up, but not sign as of yet for the Mephisto girl.

Just have to wait. She’ll pop up.

I’ve never done anything but direct germ in soil. I know there are tons of tried and true methods but my routine works for me. Soak the pot to runoff. Drop beans little less than first knuckle deep. Spray top of soil to keep damp. I continue to just use the spray bottle for about the first week. I’ve had great results doing it this way but it definitely takes longer to get sprouts. But, I also feel like it weeds out any weak plants.
