If you don't try, you won't succeed.... if you throw it out, it will not grow.... which do you think you should do?!
Good luck!

I never put seeds in paper towel. Too risky.

Chances of survival are slim when the taproot is damaged, but still it wouldn't hurt to try.

Problem: Soil gets dry and Eazy Plug keeps lifting which could cause root damage.Is there anyway I can avoid this besides keeping it wet and pressed down until stronger roots form? I'm worried about the root structure and stress if I have to keep pressing it into the soil...Week 2

ID this pest - bulb mite?Trouble in paradise. Issues with new growth on a few plants in my 2nd tent. Rather suddenly. Past experience lead me to suspect a pest eating my roots (no, not a deficiency). Checked soil. Bingo. Bulb mite? Best way to attack issue? I have 3 weeks before these go outdoors. Neem?6y ago

Mold on roots??After having my ph problem "fixed" (plants are still turning lime), I wanted to check the second runoff, I lift up the pot, lo and behold, the roots have some "white" stuff around their tips, is this mold????
I can smear it on my finger, it leaves somewhat of a trail
