Ya made sure to put the tap root down, right? If ya dont, then the seed has to work to right its self b4 it can break thru the soil.

stop usin jiffy pellets.... put them on top of the soil and lightly cover with less than quarter inch of soil and they will sprout

Or keep them in the pellets and remove all but 1/4" of soil from the top

soak them for one day in a shot glass and plant them in pellets. I get mine up and sprouted in 4 days every time. You are soaking those things to long in the shot glass i think. good luck

Sounds like they dried out after the move to the jiffy pellets. It may be too late, did you keep them in a humidome or something? If they dried out just after the tap root cvame out then the tap root wont look nice any fat and white, but tan and skinny. If thats the case you may be out of luck.

I have had ZERO % success from jiffy pellets. I know some people swear by them but I must be too stoopid to figure it out.

Ditch the pellets

I water the pucks thoroughly w/Bottled water, B-1& superthrive. B4 adding the vitamins, I nuke the water til its almost boiling. Then I add the nutes, give the water about 5 mins b4 saturating the pucks, I put the bean in (point down), about 1/4" below the surface, cover the lil hole w/the jiffy dirt, put on the lid. @ the first sign of green (leaf), I open the seal of the lid, then wen a few have popped, I turn the lid so its restin kitty cornered. Once all of the leaves are showin, I add light (if not all have popped, I remove the beans ready fer light, and leave the unpopped)
