man PLEASE boiy some rapid rooter plugs..Im not gonna lie,theyr more expensive than rockwool..but you can buy them at ebay...all you do is get some regular tap water,or RO water if you have it on hand..put the water in a cup( i prefer clewar since you can easily see the seeds inside) then drop your seeds in the water..leave the cup in a DARK,warm place..I place mine on top of my old cpu monitor...the next day,all of my seeds will be UNDERWATER, and no longer floating..this means the seeds already crachked,and the water went inside..if theyr still floating,thatmeans they still havent cracked....at this point,I get my rapid rooters and soak them in pre phed water..around 5.5 to 6.0 ph is fine...leave these rapid rootyers in the same dark warm area you used before..by one day,the seeds should already popped the surface..man I LOVE raopid rooters..already a few hpours after the seeds were in,roots WERE ALREADY COMING OUT THE BOTTOM!! Ive lost countless seeds in rockwool..and most of them rotted inside and never popped..but in my rapid rooter,they grew CRAZY Fast!!!
