The H2O2 will help them from damping off or developing root rot. I've never lost a sprouted seedling (except the albinos) since I started using H2O2.


I did add H202. Maybe I should add more. I have a 16.9oz. bottle of drinking water. Per a video I saw on the internet, I put one capful of H202 into the bottle. Should I be adding more?

Here is a pic of the little sprouts. The littlest one is between the two big ones...a bit behind them. Hard to see, it's not going to make it. The other on the far right looks bad also, the tip of the leaf is drying out. Should the soil be kinda dry as you can see the lighter brown? Or should I be watering so the whole surface turns the darker color? I do water from the bottom. I'm so afraid to water too much.
