Help Needed!! I've been trying to grow g pumpkins for four years now. Last year got 4th place with one. This year is no different from past 4. I am having trouble starting seeds. I follow big pumpkins help and help from Hobbit. I sand paper, soak and place soil mix in heat chambers set between 79 and 85 degree's. Soil mix just right not wet nor dry and pre warmed in chambers for 24 hrs. Both 1461 Carrier and1586 Lyons did not germinate as of 5/5- planted on 5/2. Replaced both with Jarvis 1629 and Wallace 1733 on 5/6. The Kline 1877 (5/2) has germinated with a inch /half root, but has not sprouted after 5 days. The 1629 Carrier (5/2) has germinated with a 1/4 inch root only after 5 days. I've read where folks have sprouted after 3 to 4 days. What do I do different? Suggestions?
