Those look really great SKB
The problem with the sunflower seeds might just be down to whether they are still viable or not, I tried some of the larger sunflower seeds in my sprout jar recently & only about half of them grew, if they'd been in sand they might well have gone mouldy too.

You've done real good SKB, Pumpkin showed her gratitude by having fun with them and eating them. That says it all.

Thanks cypher, Thin Lizzy and BorisPasha.
Cypher - I also think it might be the sunflower seeds - I didn't sprout these ones in sand but I used a jar and followed the instructions from your post. Although they didn't go as mouldy as the ones I did in sand. I'm trying another batch and see whether they work but I do need to get some new sunflower seeds soon as Pumpkin's sunflower seeds container is getting low.

Those are looking good
They look wet enough to me & it's nice to see how they're growing, I would probably feed them while the sprouts are still small, maybe a little green showing if you like but they might be better like that rather than grown into a bigger plant.
I haven't done linseed or chia for ages, you're making me think I should do some more now

I think my buckwheat has maybe gotten too long when I compare to Cypher's picture? It will have been growing for 2 days come lunchtime today. Is it still ok to feed to the hams or would I be best to start again?

Yay, good, I'm glad I can still use them. They seem to have went from nothing to something very quickly lol...now all I need is for those boys to wake up so I can try them out
