so i got a free seed from nirvana a while ago,my other plants are flowering, so i germed the seed then chucked it inn some soil.
couple of days later i see somthing popping up, when i went to look closer it didnt look like it should then i realized it was the tap root.
so i dug under a liitle and the cotyladons leaves were under the soil, popped from the seed casing an all.
so obviously i switched it over the right way round.
anyone seen this b4 and will it survive or is it now a gonna.

that is the craziest thing ever.. i am always nervous when i put germed seeds in the soil too as i have always read that you want the taproot to be facing down, ,but i always figured that this was some old wives tail, although i do take pre-caution to get them as close to pointing down as i can.. man, that is odd..
how long ago did you notice this, and how long has it been since you corrected the problem?
i am curious to see what the concensus is going to be on your baby.. that is some crazy stuff..
good luck on it though, i will surely be checking back to see what others have to say about this..

its happened to me a few times. sometimes the taproot doesn't germ straight down, it'll curl. you just have to be gentle when replanting and you should be fine

and make sure its not twisted around itself only to choke itself later with a mean cruel death

only one way point down

tap root down

not just fling into soil like rolling dice, no no, my bro, not the way to go, fo sho, no no

tap down, and there will be no more frown, smiles around
frow drop a bad add a new

only do what works and be able to do that consistantly over and over again

each grow drop a bad and pick up a good: grow habit, practice, or skill

wen i put the germed seed in, i put the tap root facing down, and im allways careful to make sure it is facing down.
wen i said i chucked it in i didnt mean literally chucked it in.

aprreciate the reply richED but wat, r they lyrics u reciting from a mj growing rap record, think i get u tho so thanks bro, fo sho.

anyone seen this then the plants gos on to live, checked it again today but not much seems to have happened yet, give it a couple more days then its a gonna.
