24 Hour In Question

[kdspecial]

First, one seed per pot. Second, what you're seeing is normal. Generally you germ a seed, plant it under about 1/3 of an inch of soil and when the tap root grows down it also kinda pushes your seed up. Don't recover it with more dirt, you'd just be taking steps back. All they need now is time.

Early on you'll just have a stem sticking out of the ground with a seed casing on it. Your seedling leaves (cotyledons) will start to grow and those will push the seed off. Sometimes if the seed is just sitting on the two leaves and is no longer connected to anything I'll gently take it off using a toothpick.

Hes right I miss read the inital post.

:stoned:I thought the seed was sitting ontop of the soil. :stoned:

kdspecial Reviewed by kdspecial on 10-27-2007. 24 Hour In Question I planted 3 germinated seeds the other day into a 8 inch diameter pot. Looking at it today after about 24 hours it seems like the tap roots are looking good and are deep into the soil, what i am curious about is if the seed should be at the top of the soil or not. 2 of the seeds seem to have breached the soil and are just sitting at the top with their tap roots deep into the soil. Should i place some soil over these seeds or just let them be? Thanks. Rating: 5
