7 beans, day 4, only 1 has broken through the coco. Now what?

All the beans are fresh, from a name-brand autoflower company (Sweet Seeds). So obviously I did something wrong.

I put the beans straight in the coco and watered the coco with a water bottle so as to be gentle. I give them a spray every 8 hours with room temp water. The ambient temp is 73F and the humidity is 80%.

So now what? Even the bean that has popped only has a little white sperm, no greenage at all to be found.

How can I save them? Just keep waiting? Thanks.

The only thing I can think of is maybe I didn't put them deep enough in the coco? They are about 1/2 inch deep.

Oh they plenty deep

Do you have any pics of the 1 Bean that did pop through for us to check out? Also was the soil drying out before you sprayed at the 8 hour intervals?

I don't think I let them dry out between watering sessions but I might have. I'm brand new and my eye for this sucks. The coco was definitely still dark every time I have watered.

It was only watered at most an inch deep though. I'm in 3 gallon pots so most of the medium I left dry per Youtube video advice.

That looks right for that seedling, it should split open and then the first set of leaves will come through. In my opinion I think your beans and seedling are a bit waterlogged. Never let them dry out completely as that is also bad, but keeping them constantly surrounded by water is also bad. Seeds like to be in moist conditions, but not completely soaked in order to sprout and grow. Think Spring time conditions. Perhaps let the coco dry a little and see if that helps them to pop. Also try not to over water your seedling now, if you drown the roots it will slow down growth or even kill it.
