Chow_13answered grow question 3 years ago Yep, way to much water, with seeds you only want to water around the base so that the sides can get oxygen to the root system in a small container. You could also poke some holes in the sides of the cups to help promote a healthy root system. I would also drop a few drops of hydrogen peroxide(3%) at the base to help add some oxygen to the roots as you let them dry out. Also if your using a soil that has a slow release of nutrients then having it that wet will releases to much and could burn the root's.
