where’s the unlike button… We popped all of ours when we nearly killed them all. luckily only 1 of 8 died from grower-rors
So for us we had very little success with pellets.
We switched to solo cups and soil after giving the seeds a bath for about 6 hours. And did a little digging if needed with a paper clip. And helped remove the seed casing with a knife when it looked to be stuck.
Aside from the seed casing, the only other killer is human error with over watering. I feel most seeds will do well on ideal to lightly under watering at the start.
