# Help!!! I’ve never grown anything from a seed before. I have three…

_Posted by Kai on 2023-06-12_

Help!!! I’ve never grown anything from a seed before. I have three Mary Jane seeds about an inch under the dirt just lightly watered. I was told to keep it humid but do I poke holes through the wrap or leave it air tight? Any and I mean any advice is welcomed, appreciated, and needed. Thank you :)

Yeah, you don’t want them molding. I think you are doing everything right, but if they don’t grow, it’s not your fault. Sometimes the seeds are good.

Thank you :)

you won’t be able to get them to flower without a light and humidity controlled room though

One thing I learned the hard way (3 times 😂) is that if your seeds are tiny and you use regular potting mix (as opposed to seed starting mix or sifting chunky bits out of your soil) the sproutlings can’t push there way through chunky bits (even if small) above the soil, so they just won’t grow.

When I was younger I would just put the seeds in a wet paper towel in the window and when it would sprout I would just add it to a pot
