taproot-then nothing..

[veen]

Hello all. So 60 seeds.... more than 75% showed white taproot then they were placed in coco pellets hydrated with RO water and put under a T5 flourescent tube... only one has popped above ground and the rest are just showing a white taproot, it has been 7 days now.. 78 degree ambient temp under the dome... they are not waterlogged. I am truly perplexed ,
any help?

what do you mean 'showing tap root' there not covered with the coco?

i have problems with seeds cracking but then not poping above ground aswell....
ive got about 40 of 70 that still havent grown...
best advice is to just keep the medium moist. some grow slower...

They are covered with coco, I put them in after most had been cracked... and have taken a peek since and they have a white tap root... but just not poppin' above ground?

ANYTHING

ANYTHING

Come on, is there anything that I can spray in with the water to kind of kickstart... only one out of 60 have came above ground...they all have a white taproot though?!

Anything?

only beneficial fungi/bacteria should be given to seedlings. some micorizzah would probably help them. RO water only of course.
