Hi. This is my first 9 Venus seeds ever.
I planted it like more than 2 weeks ago.
My conditions: LFSM mixed with perlite. Rain water.
I put it inside a transparent box with only less than 10% opening for a little bit airflow.
Put it in my porch, bright indirect light, where I usually put all my seeds and seedlings. They did grow. But well, the VFT seeds just wont grow.

Plz help me here..
Thanks in advance.

The conditions sound good. I'd say keep doing what you're doing for another couple of weeks before reassessing.

The moss was starting to look green.
Idk if I should change the moss or sumthin. This is the cleanest moss I've ever work on. I washed it more than 5x.
Run it with hot water too.

2 weeks isn't really long enough, if the seeds are fresh and conditions are perfect you will get germination in 2 weeks maybe. Many of my seeds took 3-4 weeks to really get movin, give it more time.

Today has been exactly 2 weeks since I started my seeds too, and mine haven't started yet either. I'm not worried yet though because everything I've seen on here says it can take up to 3-4 weeks.

I planted the seeds I ordered from the FTS, on March 29th. Planted in lfs and on a heat mat. Just saw some green peeking out of a couple of the seeds today.
