So just got my OG Kush and Headband from Dr. Greenthumb.
They came with instructions to germinate in a paper towel with 1/8 to 1/4 strength nutes, and when the tap root emerges to place it in your growing media taproot UP.
I have always put my seeds, pointed end down, into root riot cubes, and into a heated propagator under my T5s. And no nutes until they sprout, and then I just do light feedings of b'cuzz roots every other watering. Haven't had any problems/high success rate sprouting seeds.
So, should I follow the doc's recomendation? Or stick to what has worked for me in the past?
ALSO, TAP ROOT UP OR DOWN? What do you ladies and gentlemen do?
