So I’m on day 3 of germinating and I germinate by soaking the seeds for about 5 or 6 hours. Then I plant right into the medium and give a little bit of water to moisten and then I put a humidity dome on top. From there I just keep the top moist. Anyway, I was misting and I noticed that somehow I must have missed the hole when dropping the seeds in. Or maybe I may have put the dome on to deep into the medium and then probably push the seeds up to the top. So I don’t know how long they had been in the soil being moist if at all. Will they thill germinate okay?

They are germinating so they haven’t quite popped yet though I do have a few that have from seeds planted a little earlier. One strawberry gorilla should be vegging but is still a sprout. I can’t figure that out either I just keep feeding her when she gets thirsty. But not as much as the other girls of course.

As long as they stayed moist it shouldn’t be an issue. Just cover them up with a little soil and hopefully they’ll be fine.
I like the paper towel method. I put a paper towel with the seeds inside aluminum foil. Once the root gets about a quarter inch I use some tweezers and place them in soil.

Routine watering is definitely more difficult with a tiny plant in a large pot. I would recommend watering a ring approximately 2-4” away from the main stem, 1/2 a solo cup should work. Seedlings need a lot of humidity, they’ll absorb this from the air while they’re putting down roots. Take a clear solo cup, water bottle cut in 1/2 will work and mist the inside and cover the plants. Temps around 76-85 with the RH around 65-75%. Remove the dome daily and remist. Water 1/4 solo cup again in 4 days

Alright I’ll definitely remember this thank you.
That’s the answer I was hoping for.
I’ll remember that thank you.
I’ve got a gorilla glue auto that has been slow as well. Here’s mine on day 20. At this point I’m not expecting much.

Just keep watering in a circle on the Outside edge of your leaves that way your roots have to search for water and build a strong foundation and then they’ll start blowing up up top
So they’re starting to sprout already. But now I have a helmet head issue with 3 of them. Will try and fix after work today.

I’m a little nervous I’ve never done this before. I’ve misted them pretty good with a water and hydrogen peroxide solution now I’m just waiting a few hours to help them. But the good news is one is halfway popped so I may not need to operate on that one (I hope). I also found another seed last night after my original post, that was above the medium and had about a 1/2. Inch tap root I hope I didn’t touch the root with my finger or the humidity dome. I don’t want to stunt it.

Keep the dome on it and keep the humidity up. She should shed her helmet. If not she might need a little help. Definitely keep moist under those domes with mist. Just mist the dome not the plant itself
I got them now waiting for the last 2 sprouts to break the soil which should be today or tomorrow. Good news is I did get 100% germination.
