just point the root down when you plant it, dont listen to that "tip of the seed going up" bullshit. Point the root downwards, or sideards, or even upwards if you want, either way it will find its way down through gravity, its not like itll grow up out of the soil just because you planted it up.

These are all true. Just plant it.
You might use a pencil point, and make a hole in your growing media, as not to break the root tip while inserting it into the media.

when i first started growing i used to plant all my seeds with the root tips pointing up. the the sprout just does a cool kind of flip thing and rights itself. wasnt till i thought about how plants grow for a second to realize it was the other way down. no worries

ohhhh ! It's a white guy thing ? LOL ! to funny ! I got a friend who always throws the in" It's the White guy thing" LOL :peace:


To be correct on the seed thing. Instructions I have from a breeder is "pointed end up". Myself I just drop the seed however it lands and it works fine. I'm more concerned about breaking the root off messing around with what way the seed goes. Latley I've been just germinating in the soil and covering the top with plastic till it pops.

wonder who was the person that asked the seed what way it wanted to be. Is it not a weed that grew wild from the start of time ?

You do realise that ylem is a newb and if you search taproot this is the second thread that comes up? that's how I found it anyway. And isn't that what newbs are supposed to do, search old threads to appease the older members of this site? At least frmrboi added something to the conversation...

A) You do realize that the op has not been on this site for 6 months or so. . .
B) And that ylem has been active here for 4 months with over 220 posts - I'm pretty sure he should know how to look at a thread date by now.
C) Frmrboi always has informative input.
D) And other than a bit of whining, you added nothing constructive to the thread yourself.

My input is soak the seed for 24 hrs, sow 1/4" in seedling soil. Heat mat, CFL - *Poof* Seedling.

C) And again from what I have seen, agreed
