After Gerimination

[glassman618]

Help What do I do, I've germinated some seed through the paper towel method and only 3 have sprouted they all were about a half inch sprout when I planted them, tap root down in little containers to get their roots started. They have been sitting in these little starter potts for a couple days now and very little growth. What am I doing wrong. What kind of lighting hours should I be doing now. How long until my plant is large enough to easily take care of it in a grow box.

They should be under light 18-24 hrs. a day now. A couple of CFL's (compact flourescent) should be all you need for this stage. When you get a decent set of true leaves, put 'em in the box for vegging.

Peace...j.b.

The seedlings send out the roots first to anchor and feed them. It usually takes a few days or so before the seedling pokes it's head out.
