Planting the seed

Once you figured out what medium you are going to use make sure your medium is moist before you start. Rock wool needs to be soaked 24 hours in 5.5 ph water before you start because the glue in the rock wool has a high alkaline level. Dirt is usually pretty neutral so just water will work for now. I will get into ph later. Like I said I use rock wool cubes but for dirt I would use a small clear plastic cup(16 oz) to start my plants. I like to see my roots grow at this stage but people will say dont use clear pots. All you have to do is place the sprouted seed in the medium about a half inch deep. Cover the seed gently with dirt or if your using rock wool just kinda pinch the hole a little with your fingers. Shazzzam your on your way to growing some grade A kill. Before I go any farther we need to learn more about whats going on in our system.

I fill my cup with moist soil.


Then I poke about a half inch deep hole.


Place 1 seed in my hole.


Then I gently cover it up. Make sure you water it in.
