yes, you are all wrong...and i know what a fucking tap root is fucktard
http://www.or-coast.net/contigo/growinfo.html
The seed should be placed with the POINTED END UP into a prepared germination bed at a depth of 1/2 to 3/4 inch. The embryo tap root emerges from the pointed (stylar) end and the natural method of growth is for this root to make a turn and grow downward (see the illustration at left.) This bend formed by the downward curve of the taproot is what emerges from the soil and the friction of dragging the seed upward helps the new plant to loosen and cast off the seed case when it breaks through the surface. If the seed is placed with the pointed end down, the embryo will be required to expend a great deal of its stored energy for twisting and turning to position the tap root when it realizes that it is heading the wrong way (see illus. at right.) The seedling will need this energy to exert the forces required to later lift its head (now enclosed by the two halves of the seed case) above the soil, cast off the seed case and then spread its two embryo leaves and begin the life-giving photosynthetic process. This is a critical stage in growth and carelessness in placing the seed will exhaust even the most hearty seedling and result in a slow start and a feeble plant in later life.
you can go look at the pictures if that is too hard to understand...planting it with the tap root starting facing the bottom of the pot is W R O N G...
i cant believe you thought i didnt know what a tap root was....

Keep digging yourself a hole, dude.You never provided any diagrams.Now you go on the attack.Cuz you're wrong.

and just to add...the intelligent side of this argument wasnt saying that the seed would not know which way was up or ne of that...i think some one implied that...you plant it either way and it will go to the light, tap root up or down to start, my point i've stated a million times i will say again: planting the taproot down to start make it double curve before going down, wasting energy which is not good for the plant.

there are diagrams in that link...? can you not read or see clearly?

you are fighting a losing battle...
EDIT: I WAS WRONG! i said the root forms a backwards "N" shape when the tap root is placed the wrong way (down), i apologize i was trying to picture it off the top of my head...wait...nevermind...i was just thinking of it with the tap root starting to go what would be RIGHT in the diagram, which would form a shape resembling a BACKWARDS "N" instead of a regular "N" shape...
SORRY thought i was wrong but i wasnt...

I see it, it's one link.there are many which say it doesn't matter, because gravity does make the root grow downward.There is no difference.So, we're both right.I apologize.However, I still neg repped you for calling me a fucktard.

you are a fucktard...and we arent both right until you "show me a diagram" like you said i had to do to prove my point...go find a site that says doing it my way wastes energy...lol they arent equal, one site says i am right, none say you are...that's 1-0 fuuuucktard
