This part is subjective, most will put in paper towel in a non sealed zip lock to get the initial taproot your looking for a quarter inch to be present then sit it in a shallow hole of what ever substrate your using. Personally I've always just germed right in the dirt still at 100% success just keep the soil moist with a spray bottle for the first 10 days.

I always take the seeds that have sunk in a glass of water and put it into my substrate... the paper towel step has no practical purpose... Good luck...

Any prepping before planting germinated seeds Is there anything that can be prepped before going in soil? Do the soil need any nutes before being planted? Would solo cups be best or 1 gal pots?

Is growth normally this slow for seedlings? Any advice appreciated.These 3 seeds (of 12) germinated March 19-21; I transferred them to coco coir/perlite soil under 40W full-spectrum grow lights I also use for garden vegetable seedlings. Lights are on 16 hours; off 8 hours, and the seedlings have barely grown in the last 10 days. Is this normal?

3/6 seeds not coming above ground After two weeks of having seen sprouts coming out of all 6 seeds between paper towels, I've only seen 3 come above ground. Should I wait just a bit longer, or carefully clear away the direct and check what's going on? Maybe they're growing upside down (had it once before)?

Germination struggle I’m at a stand still in my germ process. The seed popped and showed a taproot, so I put it in my perlite. After a week, no change. I gently removed and put back into germ thinking I didn’t germ long enough. Am I dead in the water?
