I have been plagued with this problem when growing cp seeds for some reason.
It doesn't happen on the same media used for potting-on plants so I am
somewhat puzzled. Seed germination then becomes nil. Eventually, the slime
'gives up' and disappears but the seeds do not germinate.
However, for the benefit of similar sufferers (I can't be the only one?) I
have been experimenting with regular light top watering from a hand sprayer.
This seems to discourage the slime and the seeds germinate without problem.
As most of the seeds are rather fine, it is important not to overdo this as
it would be easy to wash seeds over the edge of the pot and away.
Regards,
Adrian Arnold.
