its the root and that goes down seed shell up but i dont know anything just what ive read

If you're asking which way the root goes, you put off planting a bit long. I pop those babies in the dirt as soon as the root is as long as the seed. Anyway, if it's long try to get it pointing downwards, but geotrophism ( basically the plant's sense of gravity) will get the roots going in the right direction. Don't hassle so much- cannabis grew fine for millions of years WITHOUT our help! Good dirt, enough light and decent water is all you need! - Granny:hippy:

very true, all you really need is lightly moisted environment and a warm temp. for the seeds biological clock to kick in

Tap root goes down about 1 to 2 joints deep of your index finger.

I like to plant before its more then 1 CM long. I just find it easier to bury and feel less likely to damage it.

i plant when its big enough to handle about 1 to 2 cm...dont want to damage it...

first, you should plant them as soon as the root shows, down preferably. take a sharpened pencil(no2) and stick it in as far as the paint, thats the perfect depth(drop the seed in and cover it up). now thats old school right? just being a smart ass really, but honestly thats what i heard. seems to work.

i use about to joints of a finger length to bury mine and after the plant is tall enough put soil around to the first set of little round leaves...because they fall off anyways...

There's an echo in here!

Plant the seed as SOON as the root pokes out. If you wait, it is much easier to break. The root is brittle at this stage and handling it is NOT good.

Also, I NEVER plant the seed more than 1/2 inch below the soil surface. It has a limited supply of energy to poke itself up, and planting too deep is a common reason that seeds will fail to emerge.

Be sure that your soil has a fine tilth and no chunks over where the seed was.
