There’s a plethora of germination techniques, some scarify or sand the seed edges, some soak them for 24 hours, others use paper towel & 2 dinner plates, some go straight into soil
Might want to trim the plastic edges down so that the soil is about 3/4 inch below side edge of container.… weed doesn’t grow well down in a bowl shape where air doesn't circulate properly

Thanks for that.
As @013
that's a problem with the pot.I'd just fill it to the top.
Do you have lots of holes in the bottom ?
Have a great day my friend.

No Sir Bill I do not have holes in the bottom because it does not produce enough water to have to drain I put Saran wrap on the top with holes in it! Therefore it produces it's on water supplyCool set up .

Good morning @HappyDays
There is a tap root down the center.
It shoots down looking for water.
If you don't water to run off the root will dry out, and stunt your girl.
You also need air exchange and draining or it will rot.
Get a dozen holes in the container
Stay safe

Hi @HappyDays . I've heard of sprouting directly in soil... never tried it. My sense is that the best method is to soak for 24 hours in water, then put on wet paper towel in a warm, dark place. I put my paper towel in a glass tupperware with a lid, which keeps mold, bugs, and critters out, while keeping moisture in. I use a paper towel folded in half, and then folded again, to produce 4 layers, and I put my seed in with 2 layers above and 2 layers below. I got 100% sprouting for the seed I recently did this way... something like 22 seeds, 2 different strains. It was fresh seed packaged in 2022. High quality cannabis seed is often quite expensive, relatively speaking, so it's usually a good idea to maximize their chances of sprouting. Good luck with your grow!
