Not sprouting

A week is a long time. You probably have them in over a half inch. When this happens sometimes the tap root will get lost and start looping around inside the soil without finding the top. After a week I'd go digging around a bit to make sure they are still viable.

Приветствую, бро! 👋 Такой коко считается грязным. Он полон лишних солей, в том числе морских, не стоит использовать дешевые брикеты для выращивания, а тем более брикеты для подложки в террариуме. Есть готовые замоченные смеси коко со специальными добавками, предназначенные для выращивания - раскрыл пакет и засыпал субстрат в горшок - готово! Не стоит связываться с приготовлением коко из брикетов, если у вас еще нет опыта выращивания! 👌😇👍 Удачи, бро! 👋

Hey, this product is not treated as the coconut fiber for gardening! It probably has salt on it, and tannin! You better wash a lot before use, let it soak for 24h, and watch if the water leaves a red color... Tannin kills everything!

there's a really good chance you have a salnity issue early and a k-tox late. They very unlikely wash and buffer that coco, so it's just loaded with Na -- my best guess. i'd email company to see if they actually prepare it in any way for horticultural use.. if not, there'd be no reason to do the extra processing for an animal enclosure, right? business don't invest money into processes that aren't helpful for their target market. first, don't dig around.. give it longer. When you are absolutely certain it has "rotted" in soil, you can dig carefully/slowly and investigate. Maybe, you'll get lucky. give at least 12 days, if you want a chance to find something alive but enough that most things would sprout, i guess? the orientation wouldn't cause this. that will be more about whether the seed shell gets ripped off or not while breaching soil. the root and shoot know which direction to go naturally. It can sense gravity in some way.

That stuff is good if you mix with rocks or purlite to break it up. When I used the brick style coco it compressed like cement. I caught it early and fixed it before became an issue. I don't know how seedlings react to it but that's what I'd check personally.

Did you plant the seed were the root popped out of it pointing upwards, if you didnt then you planted upside down
