If the top is dry then your seed might also be dry. You need to keep your soil moist at all times if the seed hasn't even popped out yet. It might have died depending on how long it's been dry.
orangeman Reviewed by orangeman on . soil hardened. seeds gone bad? my seeds just germinated and I bought this organic grow soil stuff made by miraclegrow and i wet the soil and everything then planted the seeds 1/4 from the top 2 days ago but the soil went hard on top, will the plant still grow? i kinda shuffled the soil and seed around, so it bad now?
