Well I don't think the roots have reached the bottom in five days but when I had damping off problems with some seedlings it was more a question of good soil and drainage....mine sucked at both--the poor drainage because of the poor soil(too compact and clay-like) even tho I had alot of drainage holes also.
Weedhound Reviewed by Weedhound on . Seeds germinate fine, but no sprouts... whats am i doing wrong I got some WW seeds via the internet. I put 6 of them in a small covered cup of water and stored in a warm area. Within 24 hours all 6 of them had cracked and had a white root emerging. Planted in schultz soil (specifically for starting plants) about 1/4" deep. Watered and put under 40W flouro in 16oz cups covered with cellphane. its been 4 days and 0/6 have sprouted. Rating: 5
