I’ve read that it can take up to 7 days for a seed to come up out of the dirt but out of the ones Ive tried to grow they come out of the dirt in usually 3 to 5 days. How long do you wait before you dump and try again?
Following
I go in after the seed on day 10.
i usually go digging for it after 3 days or so, make sure it didn’t get caught on something. then at the one week mark i call it a dud, even if i have had a rare seed pop past the 7 day mark.
I’ve never had a seed take longer than 7 days to pop up. I’ll usually go looking for it around day 5 or 6
10 days then I start digging
I’ll wait til it starts showing signs of mold before I give up on a seed. Sometimes that’s before 7 days, sometimes after. I’ve only had dud seeds that were immature or damaged in transport - I.e. I had a couple that were packaged a little too well and cracked from being crammed so tight. Of the two, one molded and one popped.
