Why seeds didn't germinate?

Why my seeds didn't germinate? I tried to soak it overnight and straight putting it to jiffy peats. maybe because of, I was using tap water, or too deep digging the jiffy peats?

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.

Autoflower Germination This is my first time growing autoflowers. While both seeds popped, one opened up “normal” the other has remained partially closed. I am starting to see hints if green. Is this normal? Do I just need to remain patient? It’s been less than a week since they popped

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?

Peeked inside and can see 1 seeds taproot so it might be upside down. Chance these are OK? Or should I give up and try new seeds inside?

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.
