two attempts so far and both ended in what i believe to be root rot...

first time i germinated 3 seeds and they sprouted in my cigar tube, so i planted them in some grow cubes under a light. they started off ok and then just died, i did water them initially (since the grow cube was dry)

second attempt, decided against using the grow cubes so i mixed perlite + manure and humus (1:2 like stinky suggested). seeds sprouted so i planted them (not very deep to be honest, the little starter leaves were visible). this time they died MUCH quicker then before...

temps are in the 70-80 range and pretty consistent, during second attempt i did have the fan blowing (12cm computer case fan)

now WHY am i have SO MUCH trouble getting started? i most be doing something wrong. too hot? are they getting root rot before i even plant them? like when they are germinating? maybe i should stop using the test tube method and try paper towel.

i only have 4 good seeds left and havent had any success really, i tried some bag seeds but they dont germinate at all... i could always order more seeds but its not cheap and it takes awhile.

HELPzor me!
