It's contamination on the towel. From the paper being to wet. Pink mold spores. Seeds will be fine.

My first grow!
HELLO. After checking the main root with the paper towel method, I buried it with tweezers about 8 mm deep in coco medium. Right now I'm using very little fertilizer and just watering with pH adjusted. The light is 30 cm at 25% power.How long will it take for them to sprout?

Is she a write-off?
Hey guys, my GSC seedling is about a week old. She had some problems getting rid of her seed head, and I managed to fully remove the seed coating and membrane just over 24hrs ago. Is she a write-off? It’s not looking too good

Seedling died after not being able to open seed shell.
Anyone have advice on seeds that can’t kick their shells after germination? I wanted to try to help split them open with tweezers but didn’t want to harm the baby seedling inside.

Seeds dried out during germination?
If your paper towel is dry for a few hours while the seeds are germinating and they’ve just cracked is this bad? Will they bounce back? I watered them straight away when I saw that the paper towel was dry.

Overzealous seed!
Anyone else ever have a seed sprout inside a paper towel? It was less than 48 hours (I usually check at 24 but was busy) and she had busted out of her shell. For a while now, Ive been using a paper towel and placing them on a running light for warmth and have had amazing results
