Delta- well your practically proved and admitted in your last post what I was accusing you of in the first place. Instead of just coming on here and post an opinion or begin a thread about something you felt you had the need to prove yourself because you are new in this community. I picked up on that right away. We take everyone's opinions here into account and try to learn what we can, but a rant about something that is of no consequence like a tap root, isn't going to alert people to your knowledge, I think it just raises an eyebrow. It did come across as a rant and a un-necessary drive to prove your worth. Yes you are new around here, and no I don't hate you. I have no beef with you whatsoever. We are laid back here, but you will find that we are a VERY honest community.
I guess what I was trying to say from the get go and it's been dropped, is that coming into a new community knowing that you must know more than some of the growers on here and finding a way to prove it in a hurry is not the attitude to have on here. We can smell it a mile away. Your knowledge of horticulture and botany will be helpful to others on here, and people that are more advanced than you will gladly help you when you are needing it. THAT is what this community is for. We make friends and combine our knowledge so we all have ALL the knowledge and help we need to be better and happier growers COMBINED.
That's it. we are cool, I was just being honest. I appreciate your reply and honesty on your last post to me. I hope all goes well with your plants.
oh BTW did you adding more nute decrease the yellowing on your girl?? Just curious and I haven't heard an update on that..
good luck,

elway07 Reviewed by elway07 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).
