Delayed Sprouting

[Greenlivin]

Hey everyone- I germinated two autos from Seedsman, and having a slow go with the sprouting. They germinated within 24 hours, and are now on day three in the soil. Most of my plants in the past have sprouted within a day of planting. However, this is the first time planting the germinated seed in a larger pot (3gal). So I’m wondering if this is semi normal? I’ve got them under 5 23w cfls 6500k.

Hmm only if by chance they could of been planted too deep?

Greenlivin SoOrbudgal She (SoOrBudgal) may be right? How deep did you plant the seeds? How long since you planted? (It can sometimes take 2-4 days to pop out of ground) Keep them lightly watered, but Don't Over-water.

This is IMHO the most delicate time of the plants life, to wet, to dry, to warm, to cold and it may die. And then when she lifts her head above ground, it is not over yet, then light and humidity come into play as well as the wet/dry/hot/cold.
I also think it is asking to much to ask for a plant from every single seed. Fingers crossed its to deep and will sprout,,,

Only dropped down about 1/2”. Been spraying lightly with plain water. Today will be the 3rd full day. Ima be so pissed if they don’t sprout. These things aren’t cheap and took three weeks to get here. Plus they germinated just fine. I’m wondering if the soil is too hot. (FFOF) I ended up taking one of the tap roots and put it in a starter plug.

Greenlivin IMO 1/2" is a little too deep, but I wouldn't give up on them yet! That may explain why it's taking longer than usual? But, on the positive side, if they finally Do Sprout they should have strong Tap roots.

Way too hot my friend. Use fox farm happy frog instead. Or mix both of them 1/2 and 1/2 at the very least. I don’t use pure ocean forest alone until the plant is well established with many branches and leaves to support. They might make it still. Don’t give up, but I would go with a bit lighter soil for future sprouts.
