Hey, whats going on, hope you see this soon. Basics for germination: 12 hours of soaking in distilled / purified water that is around room temp / 75 degrees. Then, put them between paper towels, making sure the sheets are very damp, but not flooding so that there is stagnant water. Consistently re-wet the paper towel for a day or two until the seedlings have sprouted, then move them into their soil pellet containers where they will kept moist but not flooded until ready for transplant into your hydro systems. The soil pellets are preferred over the rapid rooters because they can be broken down and removed for the plant to be placed into the deep water culture buckets. The rapid rooters are not able to be removed without damaging the root systems so they have to be placed into the bucket with the plant
