Elimination

Fast forward 16 days and I only have 1 plant left... 2 of the 8 plants were growing good and fast others were slow, the leaves died or the whole plant just gave up on growing. One of the plants went to my friend and this is the plant that stayed at my place:

I had to give her some support because she was leaning sideways like most plants. I was surprised by how slowly they were growing... I asked my wife what she thinks and she told me she's way to dry to grow and that they need a lot of water. All the videos I watched said "water when they dry out and not too much you can drown them" after a few hours of research I found out that the proper way to water them is to let some of the water drip out the holes in the bottom so I made 3 holes in the cup and started watering her like that and every 2-3 days. This was her progress in 36 hours:

Hello world

When I woke up the next day all of the seedlings were looking out of the soil and I was really happy to see them grow so much.

Then I went to work and came back home about 11 hours later and I went to look at the plants right away and boom all plants were standing up straight and first leaves were growing.

At this point, I was very happy and excited to see them grow so fast and I was getting the idea that they're going to grow really fast.

The beginning

Before I planted the seeds I watched a lot of youtube videos because I wanted to know a lot about growing weed before starting. When I thought I knew enough I got some seeds from my friend and put them in water for 24 hours. I don't know which strain the seeds are but it doesn't really matter because I'm just learning the process and how to take care of the plants the proper way. After 24 hours in the water, I put the 8 seeds on a paper towel to start sprouting. after 3 days (on 28th of Feb.) the sprouts were big enough (about one inch long) for planting. I put the seedlings in the soil with sprouts down and cover them with a thin layer of soil. I put all 8 cups in my closet under a 105W LED light and put some towels to cover the light coming out of the closet. The next morning 5 out of the 8 seeds have grown and busted through the soil. I was pretty amazed and happy how quickly that happened.
