leave em alone maybe they didnt rot.... plant more in case they did rot but dnt use tissue just plant em in soil or rockwool and put a humidity dome over it and keep it warm its possible to damage seeds when sprouting in tissue than transplanting

well the rock wool was a bit wet to begin with but iv gave it a squeeze 2days ago so its perfect now. also the temp is 20c. i opened the rock wool to make sure some were ok, all thats happend is they have growing just a little bit more from they split at seed

best luck i ever had is to saturate soil, in a beer cup or pot, then place the seed in 1/2" below, keep in a dark room, and most important put a space heater pointing towards the cups! re-saturate the soil everyday with a few drops, and make sure its warm (80 F). germ's everytime... throw away the rockwool... and humidity domes. helps if the water's ph'd to about 5.8 with a little B1 in it.
prob rotted the seeds tho, too much moisture, not enough heat, light gettin in, etc...
I used to do this for germinating with 90% success, now i clone everything in my DIY areocloner, with 100% success rate

ya my last batch was done like that, but this 1 is going in to hydro so thats why it has to be in rockwool

they have germinated just not growing any. the last time i done this they were like 1" high by now
 
try putting cling film over the top of pot tightly and put elastic band round it to keep it secure. it should keep it moist, it should sprout then.......

i c... think about areo cloning in the future then. cheap to build, easy to transplant into hydroton or any medium, and never have to worry about germination or growin males, or growin a bunk female. not to mention the price of seeds.
what kind of lights for veg? try T5 h.o. lights. they grow em up quick
