Are my seedlings dead?

They even have promix at walmart now, it's not hp but I've got some to try out. Seedling has chance still if you take time with dome

Make sure to balance heat & humidity when doming, sometimes people dont realize that's a factor

I'm not quite sure how to use this site but I have a question. I have 2 little seedlings, one is doing just fine and I'm noticing growth everyday but the other one I haven't noticed it do anything for about 4 or 5 days any ideas.

Your soil is real wet. You may have Root aphids. They look like clear tiny worms. They eat the roots of babies. I seen them tear up my babies before they even got out of there shell. They love wet soil.

I thinks that's the name. They may have another name.

You're overwatering.

You're overwatering.

Ok thanks guys. What should I do, how long should I not water it for. Sorry this is my first time doing seeds.

It also looks like the skin from the seed shell is stuck on there. You can take tweezers and pull it off if you have a steady hand.

It's easy to drown seedlings. They're roots will rot in wet soil. The plant usually sits there, looking somewhat alive for a week or more, before officially croaking.

I hate to tell you "stop watering for X-days," because I don't know how long it will take to dry out, in your conditions, but I'd say at least 3 days.

BTW, overwatering is probably the most common mistake people make with seedlings. Seeds love to be soaked in water, but once they sprout a root, they want oxygen in that soil, just as much as moisture. Keep the soil moist but not wet. Put more holes in the bottoms of those cups.
