Evening all 10 days ago a sowed 48 French beans in seed compost under my grow light at 25c and as of 10mins ago only 13 have germinated and are growing strong I had a poke round in one of the blanks and all I found was white mush what did I do wrong ?
Thanks for looking all

As everything else seems perfect for germination I would guess that you overwatered them. It's a good soak when first in and then leave them for a few days, It's moist not soaking until they germinate.
Do you think you might have overwatered ?

Yes come to think of I watered them every day with everything else in there so possibly to much oops
