Welcome @msm187
I’m fairly new too… less than one month here so far and already feel right at home… I have asked several dumb questions but nobody laughed at me… (I am a new grower too)… and folks have been very helpful.
As for your seed that hasn’t popped a root yet… don’t give up… there’s a thread I just read on germinating old seeds that might be helpful (your seed may not be old, but uncooperative is the same no matter how old)… also, you might enjoy checking out my thread about a seed that I had waited on a long time that finally rooted, the thread is called Runt Seed Surprise… that seed was wet for 24 days before sprouting and is now growing well.
Welcome!
