Germinating in rockwool...

Just wanted to know if these look ok... They don't look right to me. don't know if i didn't put in deep enough or what - any comments?

been about two days

Dude...they look upside down!

i know... Everywhere i read it say to plant with the tip of the root facing up, that the root goes up, then down, like a cane then pushes the seed(ling) up... but it just looks wrong...

The root goes down my friend.

After germinating for 24hrs or so in a wet paper towel the root will poke out about 2 or 3 mm. Then its time to transplant to the rock wool cube. Use tweezers to handle the seedling and place it in the rock wool cube "Root Down". Then place in a clear plastic container for a week or so till they are ready for the hydro system. Be sure not to over water and not to let the cube dry out too fast cuz it will kill them Quick.

I had to learn this the hard way but we all learn from mistakes.

GOOD LUCK..............

Yeah well I guess these are the little thing you learn along the way... Thank you
