Sounds like you are watering too much. When my seeds go in pots, I
wanter them with 1 oz of water and thats it until the break dirt which
is 3-5 days.

The hot/cold fluctuation may hurt too. Are you filing and soaking?
Check out this tutorial:

Good luck.

Hi,
I am having some problems starting my pumpkins. I have a green house so they are protected and warm. How long should the seeds take to germinate? Last year I planted 15 seeds and got one plant. This year I haven't gotten one plant in 
4 weeks.
I plant the seeds in a peat pot with potting soil and water them once a day, 
some times twice if the pot looks and feels dry. The green house doesn't
freeze but it will get down to 40 and up to 90 durring the day (depending on the 
day). The soil's pH and nutrients are in the norm for pumkins.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
LiAne
