Oh and one more thing on a personal note:

Stinky - if you happen to read this, I tried to PM you but it says I have insufficient privs to do so. As a mod I'm sure you would be able to tell me why I can't PM, or if there is a requirement to be able to PM, what it is. Also, I like your idea about my siggy (being the IUPAC name for THC), but for the life of me I can't find the signature edit console. I have scoured up and down my User CP a dozen times and clicked every option but to no avail. This is particularly perplexing to me because I have been posting and moderating message boards since the BBS and usenet days. Any help? If anyone else happens to know how to help, it would be appreciated. Thanks!

Regarding gravitropism - it *might* eliminate 36-48 hours of wait time by putting it in a certain direction. *Might*. But in the grand scheme of things, when it takes 2-3 months just to fully flower (I am talking about from the time pre-flowers are visible to harvest), I think that handling the germinated seed just to set it in right side up would cause just as much of a delay through shock, and even if not, two days is not that big of deal. Plenty of other factors contribute far more to the grow time than the tap root placement...
Delta9Haze420 Reviewed by Delta9Haze420 on . Myth about tap roots... OK for awhile now I have seen time and again people say "PUT THE TAP ROOT DOWN!!!!" when advising people on how to put a germinated seed to soil. I am curious why so many people seem to think this is such a big issue? I studied botony heavily as an undergraduate, and during a lab one day I specifically remember the PhD remarking that it makes no difference which way the tap root faces; it will grow down even if initially facing up (there was a lecture about gravitropism).
