Time to switch to wet paper towel?

Alright everyone! My wife and I have made it to the germination stage. Dropped 3 seed from ILGM on Saturday night at 10pm (PH, GDP, and BW). The PH got a tail within 24 hours so we planted that.

The GDP AND BW just barely cracked open today. The GDP seems to be forming a tail but the BW seems like its just cracking more, with no tail.

I know IMLG says its ok to keep the seeds in water for 7 days and it should sprout a tail within 24 to 72 hours. Should we wait it out a bit longer? Are we being impatient? Lol (Side note we did gem 6 other seeds that we had kicking around with the towel method. Most of them have broke through the soil!)


First pic is BW 2nd is GDP! Thanks for any advice!!!

Yes place in paper towel.

@Covertgrower Thanks for the reply!

So you don’t panic next time, I’ve forgotten about a seed or two, and they stayed in there for 3 days. Had a pretty long tail about 1/2” but I put directly into the medium at that point.

Thank you for the reassurance! I was a little nervous. We wanted to do it the way ILGM suggested just incase they did not germ just to be safe.

Woah. That top seed is gonna be a MONSTER BUD maker…that’s my guess.

Great job so far !!!

Thank you!!! I hope so! Its our first time growing indoor! We grew for the first time last year but it was outside!
