Im not geting much joy in the indoor forum on this so thought praps i should put my thread here: here it is so far:
Hi
I'll just repeat the quwestion on my thread below because the title of that one doesn't really go along with the question and some of you guys might not read it.
But
I have planted my seeds into damp rockwool cubes, 2 so far have sprouted up but they are white and look like roots with no signs of anything that looks like a leaf.
Can roots grow up if the seed is put in the wrong way round? and if so what should i do? pull the cube apart and replant root down?
Thanks for any help

seeds pushing themselves out is a common issue with rockwool, a pic would be very helpful though in determining if it needs to be removed and re-planted. If the root hasn't branched out yet you can open the cube and re-plant but you must be VERY careful not to damage the delicate taproot. After you take it out place it in moist paper towel to keep it wet. This is why I prefer rapid-rooters myself, they cost more but work in hydroponics and soil and help to establish a fibrous root system without the issues of seeds pushing themselves upward.

Right, no one replied and I had to make a decision sharp as I gotta get on with the rest of my life so.
I pulled the 1 cube apart and it looks like the root had grown up ou of the plug then back down and was about 1 inch long. I was as gentle as poss and did no visible damage. I poked a hole in another cube I already had soaked and dropped it in, the root is still sticking out about a 1/4 inch with the remains of the split seed casing on top (i couldnt get it down any further without pushing and risking damage.
Did I do the right thing? hopefully someone at some point can let me know??
Please help me
