This is how i start my babys. I put another paper plate on top the seeds to keep them dark. After a day or two the sprouts are about 1/4 inch long and plantable.

If both you batches of seeds are the same them perhaps something happened they didn't like. Like they were to cold to germ, too much daylight, paper towel dried up/bacteria grew. Practice make perfect.

When it sprouts get it planted then switch on your lights, make sure they get plenty of air and water...

At first give them 18 hours of light once they get to about 2" switch to 24 hrs of light for rapid growth...

This is exactly what I have been doing & it has worked wonders so far...
