ok here's the 411, I ordered some seeds and I am soaking them in water not in a papter towal and I was wondering how long should the tap root be before I plant it into my medium? and should I use jiffy pucks or just plain soil?

Don't leave them soaking for more than 24 hours or they could grow fungus. Once the seed is cracked go ahead and plant it. Waiting for the tap root to grow can cause fumbling hands to snap it off. Happens to me to often. I wait for the seed to crack and point it with the tap root pointing down. If the seed cracks you have a pretty good chance of it growing. No need to let the tap root grow out of the seed unless you have steadier hands than me.

I have a pair of tweesers that I could proibly use, and should i use jiffy pucks because they have no nutes in them that I know of and the soil I am using is MG and hase nutes in them?

and for DWC I have a test clone in it but I was wondering if I should put some nutes into the water? I only have nutes but there not saying its for '' hydro grow'' or any thing like that
