It could be there is something wrong with that bag of pro mix because I had horrible results using it in three large pots of tomato plants earlier this year. I know I'm grasping at straws, but it could be that pro mix is contaminated with something?
That was a week or so ago. I sat the seed tray outside on a table in dappled shade, and more seeds are coming up. Two of the varieties I want to share both have 4 of 6 germinated. hmm ... Now I'm wondering if it is that the Pro Mix just doesn't have many nutrients in it? Would that explain slow germination? I know it would explain slow growth for a more mature plant.
