I have a bad time with mold or fungus on my seeds after about a week. I have tried bleach, hydrogen peroxide, and they dont work. I have some daconil here, do you think it would be safe to soak the seeds in a solution of daconil, and water?

Try some ground cinnamon. You sprinkle it right after sowing and before watering the first time. Works for me.

I will have to try that, much safer than Daconil.

Daconil is great for fungus in grass. I don't think it would hurt seeds. I would call the manufacture to get a good answer.

Yes...... use as directed.
Mist the plants/seeds/medium....you can even be able to dilute the solution(daconil) even more than recommended for small scale.

I currently use this as my go to fungicide.
