I'm still not fully convinced that I'm not still screwing something up in my seedling workflow. Even though I have long stretches of perfect germ rates, I get bad rashes of really low rates, while seemingly not changing anything in the flow. I do sterilize everything that touches beans...heck I'm about to start autoclaving everything lol.
It did suddenly come to my attention through research that growers with well water often have much higher levels of natural pythium spores than city treated water (because the chloramine kills the pythium apparently). So that might explain how my beans could be dying right after cracking or planting. But doesn't account for the long stretches of good rates.
