Went to seed my second grow attempt this weekend and found a lot more trouble with the initial watering process. I think my growing medium (potting soil) dried out some from sitting too long and became slightly hydrophobic. Took a long time for the water to absorb and it distorted my seed distribution and then partially buried the seeds.

Is this batch cooked? Is this normal? Should I put processes in place to keep my stored potting soil more moist? Any insight is appreciated.

Been lurking for a few years but finally bit the bullet and got my setup together. Pretty pleased so far! Especially with the red radish. Hoping to harvest in the next few days. Need some climate control and probably some stronger lights but I feel like we’re cooking now.

Kale, radish, salad mix, broccoli, and bottom shelf is another type of radish that was slower to germinate
