breaking through

[chiggy chong]

Cheers boys i was just wandering if you know how long it should take a plant to break through the soil as i planted 6 days ago now and still it has not broken through. When i tried to grow outside some time ago it took about 2 weeks but i didnt even bother to look at it or anything and it was'nt the best weather therefore i had suspected this one to have come through by now any suggstions should i try anther seed?
thanks for your help cheers

Did you germinate the seed first or just stick it in the soil?

Usually it takes up to a couple days for the seed to germinate and pop a taproot. A couple days later you should see a sprout.

Germinate first, then you ill be more sure that the seed is good

The taproot is very very fragile, so I hope that when you put it in the soil you did not touch it. It's best to pick it up with tweezers..touch just the shell part. Put it in loosely packed soil with the taproot facing down.

Where are you growing this? Under what kinda lights and what are the temps like?
