Can anyone tell me if they think this tap root is rotten? It’s been in this position for over 24 hours. I planted it last Friday, and I haven’t watered it at all. Should I start over, or leave it go? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. ![IMG_1468](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/5/6/e/56efeec4c5d40c0c22d92cf1f8cdbf339228cdfb.jpeg) ---

I would give it a little more time and see what happens. Mine have been pretty consistant with popping up 2 to 3 days after planting. ---

I agree. Give it a little time. If it comes out with twisted leaves then start another one. ---

I agree with @4204life. Let it stay for a couple of days my banana kush auto took four days to push past that point you’re at now. If the leaves come up twisted and a little wonky it don’t matter it’ll be just fine I promise. ---

To his and their own. I don’t know where you get your information from. Go check my journal out my friend and you’ll see no worries ---

Personally, I couldn’t stand it. I’d probably dig around it a little bit to help it. ---

I was so close to doing that, then I saw some movement and I left it alone. ---

😂😂😂 just done that today with my strawberry cough seeds. After 8 days of a no show I started digging in. Found them trapped under peat moss clumps and rotting 🤦.
