I have never had problems with mold on seeds that are in the soil only in paper towels. The reason I have had mold on seeds is because they were in the paper towels for about a week and were probably too warm so i would assume your soil is too warm, or possibly too cold as I have had mold on my soil when the lights go out and the soil gets too cold. So just make sure your temperature is around room temperature or just a little warmer and it should be fine. If your house is cold put the pot with soil and seed an inch to inch and a half under a cfl, I use the 42 watt, keeps the soil at a good temperature. Thats all I can think of.
michaelpeg Reviewed by michaelpeg on . help me pls!! seed's grow mold on them! hello everyone, starting a grow is getting to be difficult for me. i have done it before with ease. but i guess i got bad luck =/. i have tried the paper towel method; they pop a lil bit and i can see the root so i carefully transplant them into potting soil. after like 2 days i check and still nothing came up so i dig em up slowly and i notice mold around the crack of the shell:(. i have tried countless bag seeds and the same shit keeps happening. i have even tried just putting them in Rating: 5
