Second dead seed AK-47

[whistleguy]

Hello, my second AK-47 AutoFlower seed died too. I am wondering if i do something wrong?

Here's the story

i am germinating seed in towels when root is out and around 5-7 mm long i am taking it gently and putting it into soil. It has been 5 days and it did not come out. I am trying to grow it in Space Bucket with 24 hours on lights. Temperature is around 28 C. There is a good air flow. What is the problem ?

I did not have any problems when i was growing Blue Mystic AutoFlower. What's wrong with this AK-47 ? Is this harder or what

whistleguy seeds should be in 18/6 light programm.. that works for me better .. but thats not the problem .. what about room humidity ?? Seedlings should be in wet environment humidity about 70_80% sent some pics... let us help you further

No expert . My suggestion would be just go straight in ur dirt. If ur seeds are fresh no soak if not soak overnight. I also use aloe . Good luck

Some times customs agent will microwave the seeds since that can’t open the package killing them all!!! If that’s not the case soak for 24 and put in soil keeping them warm and moist at all times. 2$

By the way what soil are u using?

I only let my roots get 1/4 inch at most. then i just barely cover them. Maybe a pencil width. I will keep the pots misted. But not too wet at all. Mine all popped in 2 days.

Seed in towel and Ziploc warm as soon as the shell cracks plant it about 1/2 inch

This is as far as I read your story. I know it is possible to germ in paper towels; that said I will never do it or recommend it.Read the how to tutorial and ask questions after.

How deep did you plant your sprouted seed(s)?.....I'd recommend only about a 1/4 inch of medium above the seed head, with the root pointing straight down_ that way your baby knows which way is up..which gets it out of the soil quickly. Starting from seed is my preference since I can't get clones and need to have all my plants mature within about 2-3 weeks of each other before I start another grow. But seeds can be finicky_ you never really know how old they are, where they have been before and who has handled them since they left the seed bank. I always sprout twice as many seeds as I plan on growing. Then take the best from that and give the others away_ if I get lots of good healthy ones. But there have been times when only 6 out of 12 seeds sprouted and grew into nice healthy plants. Hope all goes well for you!

Don't give up on them too soon either! Ive seen seeds not pop for almost a week.

I HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM. When you are putting it into directly to soil no matter how much you put water in them it is drying out because of there is much much soil around. Then i conclude i have to germinate them first in little germination kit to prevent that. And it just worked out fine.
