It's been awhile sense I posted on my grow log.
I've had the worst luck with seedlings this year. Never had this problem before. First seeding was last of February, I planted several seed per cell like I usually do, they sprouted in about a week then all died (damp off) I think. Then I reseeded the same trays again and nothing even sprouted. The third time I tried the seeds in a jar with a lid and everything sprouted (six different types in six different jars) after about a week I transplanted sprouts to cells using new cell packs and new posting mix ( 1/2 spagnum moss, pearlite, and vermiculite) 99% died with in a week. Replanted cells with sprouts again, same thing. Now I am trying by planting many seed per cell with the hope that when they germinate I will let them grow and when they get much better roots try to transplant them to one per cell if they live. I ordered more seed just in case. This will put me into June before I can plant outside in my patch. I hope this will not be to late to plant, it is hot here in June. Any advice is welcome...... I am at a loss here.
