Yeah, a little anxiety, a little bit control issues, lol. I have some Orange kush seeds that will be arriving tomorrow as back up, or next run if all goes well

Usually i see sprouts within 2-7 days, but i germinate in a paper towel. Id say probably 5-7 if there wasnt a tail popping from the seed yet.

Indeed. Patience is the biggest factor of growing, in my opinion anyways lol.

Are you germinating directly in the 5 gallon bag? Try putting a clear cup on the seed to keep that soil extra moist.. I would have soaked the seeds overnight and used something smaller.

Definitely a virtue I'm lacking in! Guess growing will be more therapeutic than I thought

Do I need the dome with humidifier? I was under the assumption I was good to go?

In my opinion, seedlings dont need domes. If your humidity is good i wouldn't worry. I keep my humidity at 60% in veg and i dont have issues, even my clones like the environment, ive never had to dome anything but a cloner.

I like the idea of double cupping. The outer cup is the traditional red solo while the inner is clear to see root development.

Good Luck!!!

Yes, if your seed is half inch below the surface the soil will be too dry to germ, especially if the seed wasn’t presoaked. The cup will help keep the soil damp til the seed sprouts.

I remember those days. I have 3 myself, 22, 17, 12. This was the first year we didnt have to take kids trick or treating since my daughter is too "grown" for that now, lol! (Shes 12). That was part of my decision to try to attempt to grow, give me a hobby. After 15 years of club sports, band, and choir, I definitely enjoy not being so "needed!"

Ok, thanks. So does 12 hour soak, does that count? I had been dialing in my watering on my pots for about a week prior maintaining a damp but not wet soil. Would you suggest no humidifier and just doming?

Thanks. I was trying to avoid any transplant shock since I wanted to try mainlining and the aggressive pruning plus transplanting would make for an awfully long veg, right? Hard part is, there seems to be 2 camps on everything when it comes to growing. To dome or not to dome, transplant or not, organic vs salts, etc. Hard to keep up when both sides say there way is "better." I'm just here to learn and hopefully grow something smokable.

Is my current 75-80%rh good for germination or seedling, or what would you suggest?

Your humidity is fine for veg, you will lower it to 50% in flower. I start seeds directly in solo cups coverered with baggies, if i presoak its until the seeds sink, 12-24 hours. They need that bit of water to germ, especially if the seeds are older than a few months.
Heres a simple vpd chart reference

Seeds all dropped by 12 hours and I saw some "discharge" cant think of the proper term for it atm. From what I read that was a good sign I think? I'm thinking I'll have to do the solo cups next time. Just got to wait and hope for the best now, right?
