@Barb420 how deep did you plant them after they popped? and have you been overwatering? Lately I had trouble with germinating seeds by giving them too much moisture after the paper towel method which was causing them to "dampen off" which is the root turns brown and the seed doesn't fully germinate and eventually dies. As soon as I stopped overwatering them I started to get an almost 100% germination rate Hope this helps mate

Probably wonโ€™t pop but give em some more days. Highly recommend not using jiffy pellets.. SO many issues on this site Iโ€™ve seen because of them. Go directly to substrate or use rockwool or rapid rooters even..

I do not use the paper towel method. It is easy to over water and then it is very easy to damage the tender tap root when planting. I find it more reliable to soak the seed for 24 hours and plant it. Looking at your photos everything is soaking wet. If the sprout got planted without damage it is possibly rotting. The jiffy pods look soaking wet, the towel underneath is dripping, you've got them under a humidity dome with max humidity and the temperature is high, not terrible but I would not let it get any warmer. Your fan is not doing anything. It is blowing on the plastic humidity cover so it's not accomplishing anything. Also, you don't need both germination lights and your main grow light.

Those jiffys are too wet bro,open the hole gently in order to help them to get out if they are still alive. Good luck ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ€

Since none of the Wedding Cheescakes are yet popped I would recommend to wait just a little longer. Since their in Jiffy Cubes can you see any roots forming? Happy growing!
