Last week I germinated a 748* Koch using a paper towel in a ziploc bag, along with 2 other seeds. All 3 seeds germinated fine and were transferred to ice cream containers using potting soil. The other two seeds quickly turned into good looking plants, the root on the 748 hasn't done anything, literally no growth at all since hitting the dirt. The root is currently at 1/2", same as it was when I put it in the dirt. Is there something I may or may not have done that would cause this seed to completely stop growing? The only difference between this seed and the others is the type of soil the 748 got Miracle Gro while the others got Schultz.

I apoligize for jumping the gun, apparently my 748 was just taking it's sweet time. When I first checked the seed (after 5 days) it had literally not grown at all. Last night I had a look again, and noticed a couple of small roots coming off the tap root. Even though the seed coat had still not budged, I didn't want to dig any further. By this morning I could see the start of a couple of leaves backing out of the seed coat. Who knows, it could be a club root or something else, but the growth I've seen just overnight tells me this seed wants to hit dirt, and soon. Clarence, thank you very much for the offer, it looks like this seed is going to do just fine for me. And I thank you again for giving me the chance to grow it.
