I put seed in soil on the 20th and only one has popped. Should I consider the other seeds a loss?

Only 1 of 4 seeds have popped. wondering if I should plant more seeds so they are not too far off for flowering stage?

Not yet.

Did you germinate the seeds before you put them in the soil? Most of us germ first so that we know we are starting with good live seeds, if you didn’t germ first and are germing in soil then it may take a few more days for them to pop ide imagine. I have had seeds take 4-5 days to germ in a wet paper towel some only take a day or 2 and also I’ve had a few plants that were germed then planted that didint pop out the soil for a week…
Sometimes if I get worried or think that there is a problem then I’ll uncover the seed in the soil and see what the issue is!

I did not germ in a paper towel. I went straight into the soil. I’m trying not to disturb the soil just yet but in another 2 days I think imma have to if I see nothing.

So this is these are seed that don’t want to come thru. And this is the only sed that took.

Hmm. IDK. I only have germinated seeds using the paper towel method. The 5 seeds I started on last Saturday, (GSC, Gelato.OG, Purple Punch, Northern Lights & Sour Diesel) ALL germinated.
