Germination problem
Welcome to our humble site.
There could be other factors as well, but that is the most obvious thing I noticed in your post. Hopefully that is enough to help you get healthy sprouts to pop up.
You are drowning them. The pellet should be moist, not soaked. By placing it in water, that allows the pellet to wick up the water and become soaked. There needs to be some air in the pellets because roots need some oxygen to function. Use pea gravel or perlite or something similar, to keep the pellets above the water level.kovzi wrote:...I put the pallets in the cup ( half in the water)...
