not a stupid quotation at all. thank you for your response! it was definitely mold. the root hairs are common in microgreens too, so i know about that. The smell and sometimes even the color was definitely rotten. i kept mine in blackout just until the seeds started germinating... so a day or 2 depending on the seed. then i would introduce light, but maybe keeping in the cupboard the entire time is a better idea. Probably less chance of bacteria. i would just probably forget about them. i even forgot to rinse them on the counter sometimes. do you rinse 2x a day? i also wondered if maybe my seeds were too old causing low germination rate. they were leftover from a few years before. also, this was last winter so it was kind of cold in my kitchen, I'm sure a contributing factor as well. so many variables to consider. we had built an enclosed trailer to grow our microgreens, so it was completely climate controlled and lower chance of bacteria getting introduced.
