I always put them directly into the dirt and none have ever taken longer then 4 days to come up. Make sure you get the floros right down withing an inch of the top of them so they dont stretch. I always leave mine under the floros for the first 10 days so they can get some stalk to them. I bougt the 3 ft double 20 watt bulb, and I will let them grow right up between the bulbs. This keeps the plant short and gets the main stalk fat.......They have plenty of time to grow when you put them under the HID's.....

right
a second one sprouted then died, not quite sure about that but ive put another seed in to soak will germ it tonight
the third one sprouted this morning but looks slightly yellow, should it be under light or kept in the dark for a little longer??
Thanks all

NG2k , your only planting a total of 3 seeds? what do u want, only 1 female? alwayz plant double the amount of seeds as females you want flowering. It's a 50/50 chance u'll get a male or female...sometimes more ..sometimes less! You dont wanna spend the next month- month and a half on 3 seeds you'll hope will be female , only to have them be male on you, or get sick and die.... start more bro. -Opt

I want only 1 female, its all i got room for, i am planting 3 seeds with the hope at least one will be fem. about this seedling, its got yellow cots, should this be in light or darkness? cheers Opt

Seedlings should be put under light as soon as they pop surface..start with floros..keep them as close as possible. -Opt
