I've done several dozen successful batches over the last two years. I really like the Dun peas, but they were out so I was trying Chickpeas. After 4 days, I've thrown them out. Sprout roots were small to non-existent and chickpeas were breaking down with a fishy smell. A search here revealed similar results.

My setup is a simple mason jar with screen mesh lid. Do chickpeas need any extra attention or technique? My thoughts are maybe they were staying too wet.
