I am a garden noob, but I thought it was impossible to have over moistened soil for seedlings by bottom watering as you are?
I mean all of the seed starting kits you buy are watered this way.
Reason I ask is because I planted cauliflower, broccoli, & cabbage, and the cauliflower leaves came up and half of both leaves turned brown starting from the end of leaf. The broccoli & cabbage don't look the best either. Half of the cabbage seeds didn't even sprout.

Also side question, is it common for watermelon seeds to have low germination rates?
I plated about 6-8 seeds in hills but only about a third of them sprouted. in some hills only 1 sprout came up.

Well, soil too wet could cause the seeds to rot. You want it to just be damp. With the heat we’ve been having, it might be cooking them. Tough to say. Could just be a bad batch of seeds.
