Coriander advice

Hey all. Been growing coriander for about 2 months now, I've been struggling with germination but now that I'm getting that figured out I've been getting this pop up.

Seems to come from underneath and spread from there, my first thought was overwatering but cutting down on that doesn't seem to have had an impact. H202 slows it but doesn't stop it. I also have seed from 2 different suppliers I've been comparing, and I'm only getting this from one of those.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Are you using split seeds? True leaf has leisure split cilantro seeds that help with consistency etc.

I can't get pre split seeds where I am but I've been thinking if splitting them myself

If you have an indian store near you go and buy a bag of Coriander (make sure it is not toasted). Around here it is $3 for big bag.

Take the Coriander and put it between two paper towels and run a roller over it couple of time with medium pressure.

I bake my potting mix to sterilize before i use and it prevents most issues.
