Planted a new germinated seed into fox farm soil about three days ago, hasn’t sprouted at all yet kinda worried it was already dead so I easily moved soil and saw the seed there nothing changed that I could notice so I lightly misted the soil and put it back over it. Is there a way to know if it’s dead and a time frame to wait? Did the paper towel method, as soon as the tap root was about half a inch I put it into the soil. Thanks guys!

If you planted more than a 1/4 in deep it could take a week to break ground. I’ve had some pop out the next day and have had them go a week. But I never go more than 1/4 most of the time it’s just barely under the soil 1/8”. :v::call_me_hand:

Is it dead? Should I start a new seed? Or leave it be? When I put soil back over it I hardly put it under the soil

Just get it under the soil an 1/8 and don’t over water. Water in a ring around it but don’t saturate it. Let it almost dry out and do this again. Until it breaks ground :v::call_me_hand:

Yeah that’s a little deep for a seed, like @Dman1969 said, 1/8” OR pinky nail length is how far down I go, deep enough for me to feel it :nerd_face:

I think your gonna be good just don’t over water. If anything just spritz the top where the seed is. I’m guilty of overwatering a lot. But just spritz the top a couple times a day. And Mabee put a clear solo cup or dome over the top for good measure. :wink::sunglasses::v::call_me_hand:
And Happy Growin!

In my post before the last I said water in a ring around the seed. I’m sorry but you do that after it breaks ground. I’m kinda high rite now. :joy::sweat_smile::rofl::drooling_face:
