i just water it until run off once and thats it. remove the excess water and put under my lights. i literally water like my big plants which is when it dries out almost completely for me it takes about 5 days before i water again the same way. so im just watering on a 5 day schedule for you it might be different but if your watering soon then 5 day i would assume your over watering thus causing root rot thus killing your plants. i had a seedling just like that. watered every 3 days. after a while it got stunted figured it would grow later on leaves started to yellow so i was going to transplant it into dry soil and the plant just came apart with no effort. root rotted to hell.

other then that idk man temps and humidity seem fine besides for over watering only other thing i can think of would be the soil but i doubt it is the medium so then it just goes back to seed quality. where exactly did you get your seeds and how old are they/stored?

Hi thanks for big support!

Purchased seeds from Seeds man... I haven't water i fully flushed pot 1 time and sow seeds.And dome in it...but soil is wet but not muddy it's just wet..after put finger in it feels wet..

I just remove dome for now to bit dry more....

Ah i forgot to tell you...when i test soil when i mix i notice its ph7 so to lower i put some organic coconut vengar to lower and water it ..then it comes PH 6.7 i don't think can venegar kill the seeds .. Its not much...for 10 liters like 3 drops :/

I don't think its seed quality as i see some seeds have tap root and no growth at all...

I've always had unreliable results but what finally worked for me was a combination of the paper towel method till the sprout pops out, then crack open one of those plugs that is like a moist chocolate muffin, place the sprout in and close it, this way you can make sure that the seed is right at the surface and none of the microfine hairs get disturbed. From there, it can go into hydro or soil.

Of the three beans I just planted this way all the taproots came out of their seed differently. One came straight out, one turned down and one came out sideways. I recently planted a seed directly into a pot and the taproot grew straight up into the air and died, I didn't even think it was possible for a root to grow up.

All I do is soak them...wait to see tails and plant them in soil...
Always has worked for me for years...top of my fridge usually has a cup with seeds germing.

hmm idk man if they are germinating but not sprouting something is up. i dont even PH my water for the seeds just give um tap water and im sure my tap water runs higher thjen 6.5 as well state claims it comes out at 7 but i never tested it alone. how often are you watering? i am going to guess you are over watering seed bank is pretty reliable from what i know, PH seems okay. someone said germs by overhandling the seeds i mean that is possible but honestly i never seen much people take super precautions for this step i used to but not much anymore i think that is just overkill.

i wonder if you put clonex or rooting stimulate around the seed if it will help the roots grow better? this is why i used myko's so it can possibly.. attach to the roots as it came out and push out growth faster but idk how well that even works or if it does.
