With the 2019 Nut Exchange underway I thought this might be something to think about when it comes time to plant, in particular, indoors. It may have been brought up before, buried in anther thread somewhere, but I think it explains pretty well one of the reasons for seedling failure. I know dampening off has happened to me and after reading these articles it is clear why. Hope this helps.
