Did I kill my seeds?

Same results if same temperature...

Gotta keep that soil warm if you germinate in it. Seeds in a cd case or plastic bag can easily be kept warm on top of a modem or the like, seeds in a pot of soil, a little more complicated for us northerners.

How deep did you plant the seeds? If the seeds cracked open,, they are growing and if handled gently when planting should continue to grow. I try to plant at about 1 inch and they are usually up by about day 4 after planting. Deeper takes longer of course. I just put my seeds into a shot glass of RO water and leave it in there until it sinks when I poke it, usually overnight. Then I go directly into my ProMix. I've tried all the different methods and this works just as good as any and is very easy. The waiting is the hardest part. If nothing is up in a week, it probably is not going to.

My technique exactly. 99% germ rate.

Yeah a lot of questions should really start by stating their typical environmental situation.

The temp in the tent is usually around 82 on average. I’m thinking it’s just slow goings so after tomorrow I’ll probably poke around a bit just to see if I messed up somehow.

I planted them about a knuckle deep and lightly covered with some soil. I have kinda big hands so I may have dug too deep, I know for a fact they all rooted but I may have to coax them out a bit

82 should be just fine. The girls should show up shortly.

2/3 seeds broke soil today! The third will probably be up by tomorrow morning, but the scary part is over! LOL

Quick question: I have this cheap 1200w Amazon grow light in my tent right now, but it probably draws around 265W at the wall. Thru some weird stroke of luck, I bought one Roleadro 600w panel and ended up getting sent 3 of them LOL. is there a way to figure out (without using a meter) how much the Amazon light draws so maybe I can replace it with the Roleadro if it’s less than I originally thought? This is the light I have in right now. Amazon product
