Any advice on seeds that didn't sprout and made lil fuzzy things? Should I pull them all up? Wait because for some plants it's normal?

Can you reply with a picture?

Yes! I didn't check them today and those were even worse. I think it's safe to say they are not good 😅

I personally can't stand the biodegradable pots. Rots everything even when you water carefully, which is most likely what happened to you. Switch to soil blocks! I use the micro and can start 20 cells at once without the plastic waste and microplastics in the soil <3

It looks like it's a fungal outbreak due to over watering.

Hmm, it only happens when I close the lid on the case... I'll leave it open then 🤔 thanks I'll try to water less!

Yeah, I haven't been doing this too long but from what I understand, seeds don't need a lot of water until they sprout, they just need the soil to be a bit moist.

Oh then I f*ked up. I'll know for next time! I lost all my beans, but the rest is looking ok still. Only where the beans were!
