ideal way to place seeds in soil

[chockeyfan6]

I did the paper towel germination method and the tap root came out like 1/4 of an inch to an 1/8 of an inch. i read different methods on how to place the seed in soil. i just decided to put them in on their side, not up or down. will this be ok?

ha this is a subjective topic, but if you look at how they actually sprout the taproot goes in root up, I will get caned for that though. But they will be fine any way!

Stolen from 420 magazine! Edit: if the root is quarter inch it may be different. They be fine anyway don't stress. Nature is not perfect.

Paper towel method?,let it come completely out of the shell,then plant all the way to leaves,bury it all except cotys....if not,pointed end of seed down...you've seen where the taproot comes out

oh, are you talking about a seedling or a sprouted seed op?View attachment 2687787 if they look like this yes just put them root end facing down next time

Or you can place the seed point down in mix/RR/RW and let nature do it's job, keep a spray bottle with H2O handy for misting the seedling when she breaks ground.Sometimes, most times the hull will still be attached in some way and if you keep it moist it will prevent tissue damage from a dry hull.Try not to break it loose yourself no matter how bad it bothers ya.One last thing, when I germinate a seed I use a tight piece of fabric.I have seen so many deaths from root tip breakage, it get's woven into the paper towel.

First dip seed in peroxide to get it open then chew an end off and place it in peanut butter

oh......my!

Then place the seed into the midget's butt careful not to anger the beast.

yes they looked like this and i just placed them like they are laying there in the soil a 1/4 inch down. will they still be ok or should we try to fix them?

 

[LetsGetCritical]

Because your not as fun to pick on as noobs, and I was thinking the same thing in my grow posts lol. But I had to post that peanut butter gag it just seems perfect

 

[LetsGetCritical]

does the peanut butter work though? Hope so, just put a couple of clones in peanut butter.

I'll say this again if your using a paper towel,let it come completely out of the shell,sometimes it will get stuck and you have to carefully remove the shell.No big deal.Bury it all the way to the cotyledons(baby leaves).DONE.


Hydro,if the root gets stuck in the paper towel,rip the wet paper towel with taproot attached and plant away.NO BIG DEAL.peace
