It kinda does sound like your trying to hard lol if thats possible.Umm try rockwool cubes thats how i sprout my seeds.But if you use rockwool cubes remember you have to soak the cubes before you put the seeds in them becuase cuase of their high acidty they have.And make sure the water you soak the cubes in is ph correct.Or keep doing it your way but when it starts to root put it in soil and water maybe that might help.good luck
letsburn06 Reviewed by letsburn06 on . Problem with sprouting Ok, so for the past month or so I have attempted to germinate/sprout seeds. The first 5-6 seeds I put in a moist sponge in my window and I kept it moist everyday. That failed after about a week. The second time, I went with the test tube method of germination. A couple of seeds put their first little root out, so I put them into a styrofoam bowl with some potting soil and planted them a half-inch. That failed after over a week. Now, I've got about the same quality seeds as last time. Rating: 5
