Hi everyone,
A couple weeks ago I thought I would start trying to grow my own, just a few plants. I got 5 Big Bang seeds, read up as much information as I could, and off I went.
Seed 1 was germinated, grew out of the soil and the seed dropped off, leaving me with just a long root.
Seed 2 and 3 were germinated, planted; 2 went smooshy and 3's rootap went back inside the shell never to be seen again.
It's been a week since I planted 4 and 5, after germinating them. Everything went well, they slowly started to look like they were rising above the soil, until they essentially came up out of the soil (jiffy/peat things that expand) with slightly longer rootaps but no progress. I moved them to compost in the vain hope they would grow. Once again they slowly rose out of the soil to show them looking pretty similar. I used tweazers to plant them slightly deeprer, over the course of today number 4 has started moving up again with no new root growth.
Are my seeds dead? The root is still there on both seeds however it's been a week, surely they must have used up all their stored nutrients. Nothing at all seems to be happening, and I can't seem to get my process right, or get past this stage, it's incredibly frustrating. Everyone has a different method of doing everything, but they don't seem to be working for me. Sorry for the really long message, any help/advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks

waiting is never fun, but the end result is delicious!
