Peat can sometimes be acidic. And it sounds like way too much water. Try the 24hr soaking in water and then the paper towel method for 2-3 days. Submerged in soil, tap root down. Thousand of videos on YouTube! Good luck!

I don't know if you mistyped the 1.89L/24h, but if that's not the case you drowned them. You want the pellets to stay moist but not soaked. A little sprayer will help be a little more conservative. Overwatering is one of the most common mistake.

Would you remove the shell to help a seedling to fully germinate?Would you remove the shell to help a seedling to fully germinate? The plant matter under the shell is usually very fragile and easy to contaminate. I have uploaded a picture as a good example in this diary.

Germination Question Should I add more water to the jiffy pellets? Right now they are under a dome and very moist, have not added any new water for about 20 hours. before that I would only allow water to soak up from the bottoms and I did not submerge them in water.

Dead seedling?Seedling 9 days since planting. Germinated directly in peat pellet. Sprouted after 4 days. Seed coat became stuck and I had to remove with tweezers. Now the cotyledons aren't developing and it looks a bit moldy at the top. Looked like this for the last 3 days. Thoughts?
