Ive had beans that after 3 days I would ever so gently remove the soil from the top until I see the seed and make sure it was germinating.
If it was I would put just a little soil on its head and let it do it's thing.
Sometimes the seed can move down if your not careful when your trying to keep the soil damp and have to climb more to poke its head up.
Just had to do that with my Gabagoo a few days ago. His head popped up the next day.
 
Come on little girls your nice and warm come on and see the world.... being paranoid about them night of day 3 and I feel like some of them should be popping up well sleep time maybe I'll wake up to a surprise Night everyone
I hope your girls are waking up this morning. I was disappointed to have lost two seeds that popped in the glass but couldn’t make it out of the dirt and one that broke her head off trying to get out. All my other seeds did fine but it’s always exciting to wake up to see those little heads popping up
 
Yup yup my upstairs stays at about 70 with the heat pad on medium they should be happy
I keep my little grow house in the house. We keep our heat tuned to around 68 as our gas bill is way high. My plastic glass house sits on top of two potholders which sit directly on my cheap one volume heat mat but they get perfect temps and it’s real easy to steam it up in there a bit if you need some extra humidity for clones, plants or seeds
 
Well waking up disappointed this morning nothing none have popped I'm just going to go back to sleep God if I these seeds don't pop and I lost them I hope the seed bank will do something cause paying 100$ for seeds to lose them is just gonna put my off growing I'll just throw that one plant out in that clear cut and leave it let nature choice if it survives kinda depressed well back to sleep for a couple hours then I'm going to uncover them some and see it they are growing I mean I've used this exact soil and never had problems they popped fine so idk

Morning OFC. I will be starting my maters seeds today. Gotta make a trip to the grow store for some rapid rooters. Nonconformist here...no towels. Maters and peppers go in rapid rooters an marijuana goes in rock wool. Keep it simple....they all pop so why take the extra steps.

If you look at roots through a magnifying glass roots have tiny hairs that attach themselves to the towel. When you transplant you damage the taproot. Not me.
 
For weed seeds, I always put 'em in a small (think pill cups at the mental hospital) paper cup that contains a 50/50 mix of H2O and H2O2 and let 'em be 'til the tails pop. Don't let 'em get too long 'cause ya might break 'em off putting them in your growing medium.
For garden seeds, I stuff 'em in the dirt and let Mama Nature take over.

Howdy. Went for a walk and then ran errands. I now have everything I need to start my maters. I have 3 more starts I am waiting to show roots and then this years tomato crop will be started.

Big you are righ....when you catch them that quick but I bet at one time or another you weren't on top of things like those two. I will just plop seeds into my rapid rooters and forget about things until they need transplanting. I learned one and only one thing in the Army. KISS.....Keep it Simple Stupid.
