Yea, call it up to a learning experience, Not to worry you, but I have only had bad luck with them damn jiffy pods, word is they get to acidic for the small seedlings, not real sure about that.... I just know I hate em.
I use the root cubes, they feel like a sponge, and work super, my hydro store has a generic, they sell them in a zip lock bag, it's like a doz for a few bucks.
I pride my self on pop-in seeds, not do to the time I've been in this, but to the seeds I "lost" learning along the way LOL
I think I can crack just about any seed now...... I wish you luck!
