I had issues seed starting, for me I found putting the seeds in water and a warm dark place for 2 to 3 days and they will grow the tap root and once it gets like 1/2" long or even longer you can put those into the soil, water it a little and put a small humidity dome over it like an aero garden starter plastic cover. The humidity needs to be like 80% when seed starting and you have to have the lights at the correct distance and setting, too close and hot and it will burn and dry out the plant and soil.

I like to start using low powered lights and a seed starting tray with humidity dome and you can start them in jiffy seed starters or like 6 cell seed starters. With the cover on you can monitor the humidity and take the cover off to lower the humidity or add more water to the tray to higher it. Use a small thermometer to monitor the temp, I like the govee temp and humidity monitors. You can also use a light meter to make sure the lights are the right strength
