Doesn't matter really, either way the plant will always sprout. If you just have to , then the tap root goes down, while the seed part goes up top.

You are burying the whole damn thing in the dirt, its not going to see any light yet. You don't suppose somehow in nature the root side always landed down did you? Nope it didn't, but the plant itself will grow the root down every time guaranteed. Ever plant seed in a garden? You do not have to worry about which way is down, the plant somehow makes sure the root goes down on its own.

If he's germinating in tissue the tap root is already exposed so it should be planted down. If in soil you're right, the plant will figure it out.

You can tell I assumed it was dirt, that's why I noted as much in the very first sentence, thanks for the help.:-P:-P:-P

I've germinated some seeds but I'm pretty much a clone guy. You can probably answer this question. Does the tap root come out of the pointy end or the round end?
Thanks

DOH! Never mind, they both come out of the same end. Testing my new batch of cannabutter tonight. Apparently it's GOOD.
